Abstract: OBJECTIVES To analyse plasmids carrying blaIMP-6 in isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae obtained from multicentre carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae surveillance. METHODS We characterised plasmids harbouring blaIMP-6 by the whole-genome sequencing of four K. pneumoniae isolates carrying blaIMP-6, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkz526
Abstract: Abstract Background Hospital outbreaks of carbapenemase-producing organisms, such as blaIMP-4-containing organisms, are an increasing threat to patient safety. Objectives To investigate the genomic dynamics of a 10 year (2006–15) outbreak of blaIMP-4-containing organisms in a burns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aac.00382-20
Abstract: Four Providencia rettgeri isolates and one Providencia stuartii isolate were obtained from urine samples of five patients in 2018 in Japan. All of the isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, and three were highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01204-22
Abstract: Although Providencia rettgeri is an opportunistic pathogen, its intrinsic resistance to colistin and tigecycline makes the treatment of carbapenem-resistant P. rettgeri challenging. We isolated a multidrug-resistant P. rettgeri strain which harbored a rare blaIMP variant,… read more here.

DOI: 10.7883/yoken.jjid.2020.926
Abstract: Genes conferring carbapenem resistance have spread worldwide among gram-negative bacteria. Subtyping of these genes has epidemiological value due to the global cross-border movement of people. Subtyping of blaIMP genes that frequently detected in Japan appears… read more here.
