A 2-year national genomic screening in the Czech Republic identified a notable prevalence of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 5 (NDM-5)-producing Escherichia coli sequence type 38 (ST38) in the city of Brno. Forty-two ...
Objective: Here we describe a novel IncFIA plasmid harboring mcr-10 gene in a clinical Enterobacter ludwigii strain isolated at the University Hospital in Pilsen in the Czech Republic.Methods: The strain was subjected to ...
Introduction: In the battle against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, ceftazidime- avibactam (CZA) stands as a pivotal defense, particularly against carbapenemresistant (CR) Gram-negative pathogens. However, the ...
BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a significant challenge to the treatment of infectious diseases. Of particular concern are members of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC), which are frequently ...
Background:Overuse of carbapenems has been associated with an increasing prevalence of resistance, particularly among the Enterobacterales, Pseudomonasspp., and Acinetobacter spp. Resistance is mediated by the ...
A clonal outbreak of 18 ST773 NDM-1 producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains has been detected for the first time in the Czech Republic. The strains were extremely drug-resistant (XDR) and resistant to serum killing. ...
BACKGROUND: In 2023, a significant increase in Streptococcus pyogenes, Group A Streptococcus (GAS) culture positivity was observed in Czech microbiological laboratories. We conducted a multicentre study to obtain epidemiological ...
Analysis of 594 isolates of Escherichia coli sequence type (ST)131 and its single locus variants carrying carbapenemase genes from 17 European Union/European Economic Area countries revealed acquisition of 18 carbapenemase ...
