The Acinetobacter baumannii website (Ab-web): a multidisciplinary knowledge hub...
Karah, Nabil; Mateo-Estrada, Valeria; Castillo-Ramírez, Santiago; Higgins, Paul G.; Havenga, Benjamin; Khan, Wesaal; Domingues, SaraAcinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacterium increasingly implicated in hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks. Effective prevention and control of such infections are commonly challenged by the frequent emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. Here we introduce Ab-web (https://www.acinetobacterbaumannii.no), the first online platform for sharing expertise on A. baumannii. Ab-web is a species-centr...

Moreira da Silva, Joana; Menezes, Juliana; Mendes, Gabriel; Santos Costa, Sofia; Caneiras, Catia; Poirel, Laurent; Amaral, Andreia J.; Pomba, ConstançaResistance to carbapenems in Enterobacterales poses a threat to health care systems worldwide since those infections are associated with high mortality and limited treatment options. The latest European reports show that some southern European countries are almost endemic for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs). Mirroring the European tendency, Portugal has been observing a steady increase in the oc...

Grundmann, Hajo; Glasner, Corinna; Albiger, Barbara; Aanensen, David M.; Tomlinson, Chris T.; Andrasević, Arjana Tambić; Cantón, Rafael; Carmeli, YehudaBACKGROUND: Gaps in the diagnostic capacity and heterogeneity of national surveillance and reporting standards in Europe make it difficult to contain carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. We report the development of a consistent sampling framework and the results of the first structured survey on the occurrence of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in European hospitals.
