Background and objectives Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat, with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) representing a critical public health challenge. Rapid and accurate detection of CPEs is essential for controlling fatal bacterial AMR infections. This study evaluated the performance of MacConkey media supplemented with ertapenem (MacErt1 and MacErt2) for the detection of CPEs.

Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing of positive blood cultures can enhance antimicrobial stewardship and patient outcomes. We present a case where OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae with low-level carbapenem resistance was suspected 6 h after blood-culture positivity, based on ASTar system (Q-Linea, Sweden) results. OXA-48 carbapenemase presence was confirmed by the OXA-48 K-SeT lateral flow assay (Coris, Belgium) on a short-term subculture.

Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates are associated with significant mortality and have emerged as a major problem in healthcare settings worldwide.
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the epidemiological and genotypic characteristics of carbapenemase-positive Enterobacterales isolates from patients hospitalised in three hospitals in the city of Batna, Algeria.
Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 5,316 clinical isolates were obtained.
Fecal Carriage and Risk Factors Associated with Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-/AmpC-/Carbapenemase-Producing in Dogs from Italy.

MDR bacteria are an emerging global threat to public health, and the role of dogs in the rise of antimicrobial resistance is under investigation. This study investigated the fecal shedding of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-, AmpC- and carbapenemase (CP)-producing and associated risk factors in dogs admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Lodi, University of Milan, or other veterinary clinics and kennels in Northen Italy. Feces collected in 2020-2022 were microbiologically and molecularly analyzed.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections, particularly those involving multidrug-resistant strains. Carbapenem resistance, often driven by carbapenemases such as KPC, VIM, OXA-48, and NDM, poses a significant challenge in clinical settings. This study reports on K.
