Modified Carba NP test for the detection of carbapenemase production in gram-ne...
Campana,Eloiza H.; Chuster,Stephanie G.; Silva,Isadora R. da; Paschoal,Raphael P.; Bonelli,Raquel R.; Moreira,Beatriz M.; Picão,Renata C.Abstract The modified Carba NP test presented here may be a valuable tool for laboratories interested in investigating a large number of carbapenemase-producing bacteria in a less-costly way. The test was evaluated against 48 carbapenemase-producing and carbapenemase-non-producing gram-negative bacteria. No false–positive results were obtained, but false-negative results were observed with OXA-23- and GES-carba...
blaGES carrying Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from a public hospital in Rio d...
Pellegrino,Flávia L. P. C.; Netto-dos Santos,Kátia R.; Riley,Lee W.; Moreira,Beatriz M.Previous analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa class-1 integrons from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, revealed the blaGES gene in one isolate. We screened isolates of two widespread PFGE genotypes, A and B, at a public hospital in Rio, for the presence of blaGES. The gene was detected in all seven P. aeruginosa isolates belonging to genotype B. Three of the seven genotype-B isolates were resistant to amikacin, aztreonam, ...
