| travel-related carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria in alberta, canada: the first 3 years. | we describe here the characteristics of alberta, canada, patients with infections or colonizations with carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria during 2010 to 2013 that were linked to recent travel outside canada. antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution, and isolates were characterized using pcr, sequencing, and multilocus sequencing typing. a broth mating study was used to assess the transferability of resistance plasmids, which were subsequently characterized. ... | 2014 | 24599977 |
| colistin-nonsusceptible pseudomonas aeruginosa sequence type 654 with blandm-1 arrives in north america. | this study describes 3 different blandm-1 genetic platforms in 3 different species obtained from the same patient who was directly transferred to an institution in calgary, alberta, canada, following a prolonged hospital stay in india. the blandm-1 in the escherichia coli isolate was located on a 176-kb inca/c plasmid contained within an iscr1 region. the blandm-1 in the providencia rettgeri isolate was located on a 117-kb inct plasmid contained within tn3000, while the blandm-1 in the pseudomon ... | 2016 | 26824951 |
