Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infections in Hospitalized Patients in Peru
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 18:tpmd230054. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0054. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is a knowledge gap in the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causing bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Peru. Through a surveillance study in 13 hospitals of 10 Peruvian regions (2017-2019), we assessed the proportion of MRSA among S. aureus BSIs as well as the molecular typing of the isolates. A total of 166 S. aureus isolates were collected, and 36.1% of them were MRSA. Of note, MRSA isolates with phenotypic and genetic characteristics of the hospital-associated Chilean-Cordobes clone (...

Transmission of clones of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli between a hospital and an urban wastewater treatment plant
In this study, water samples were collected over one year from a WWTP in Jinan, Shandong province, China, from different functional sites in the wastewater treatment process. Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) were isolated by selective cultivation and whole-genome sequenced to investigate the occurrence and characteristics of CREC in the WWTP. A total of 77 CREC isolates were included in the study and the detection rate of CREC in the WWTP water inlet was found to be 85%. An additional 10 CREC were isolated from a nearby teaching hospital during the sampling period and included for comparison to the environmenta...

Multidrug Resistance Profiles and Resistance Mechanisms to β-Lactams and Fluoroquinolones in Bacterial Isolates from Hospital Wastewater in Bangladesh
In this study, we determined the MDR profile of 68 bacterial isolates collected from five different hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Of them, 48 bacterial isolates were identified as Enterobacteriaceae. Additionally, we investigated the prevalence and distribution of five beta-lactam resistance genes, as well as quinolone resistance mechanisms among the isolates. The results of this study showed that 87% of the wastewater isolates were resistant to at least three different antibiotic classes, as revealed using the disc diffusion method. Resistance to β-lactams was the most common, with 88.24% of the isolates being resistan...
