Emergence of carbapenem-resistant enterobacterales co-harboring bla_OXA-78 and bla_OXA-58 from India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) has been categorized as pathogens of critical priority by World Health organization (WHO) as they pose significant threat to global public health. Carbapenemase production considered as the principal resistance mechanism against carbapenems and with the recent surge and expansion of carbapenemases and its variants among clinically significant bacteria in India, the present study reports expansion bla_OXA-78 and bla_OXA-58 of in CRE of clinical origin.

Methods

Bacterial isolates were collected from a tertiary referral hospital and identified through VITEK® 2 Compact automated System (Biomerieux, France). Rapidec® Carba NP (Biomerieux, France) was used to investigate carbapenemase production followed by
