National Surveillance of Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteremic Gram-Negative Bacteria with Emphasis on Community-Acquired Resistant Isolates: Report from the 2019 Surveillance of Multicenter Antimicrobial Resistance in Taiwan (SMART). Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2020 Jul 20;: Authors: Liu PY, Lee YL, Lu MC, Shao PL, Lu PL, Chen YH, Cheng SH, Ko WC, Lin CY, Wu TS, Yen MY, Wang LS, Liu CP, Lee WS, Chen YS, Wang FD, Tseng SH, Lin CN, Tang HJ, Chen YH, Sheng WH, Lee CM, Liao MH, Hsueh PR Abstract A multicenter collection of bacteremic isolates of Escherichia coli (n = 423), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 372), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 300), and Acinetobacter baumannii complex (n = 199) was analyzed for susceptibility. Xpert Carba-R assay and sequencing for mcr genes were performed for carbapenem- or colistin-resistant isolates. Nineteen (67.8%) carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (n =28) and one (20%) carbapenem-resistant E. coli (n = 5) harbored the genes bla KPC (n =17), bla OXA-48 (n = 2), and bla VIM (n =1).
