Enhanced antibacterial activity of repurposed mitomycin C and imipenem in combination with the lytic phage vB_KpnMVAC13 against clinical isolates of klebsiella pneumoniae
(American Society Microbiology, 2021)
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen that employs different strategies (resistance and persistence) to counteract antibiotic treatments. This study aimed to search for new means of combatting ...
Article
OXA-48-Like-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Southern Spain in 2014-2015
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
The aim of this study was to characterize the population structure of 56 OXA-48-like-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes, recovered in 2014 and ...
Article
Interplay Among Different Fosfomycin Resistance Mechanisms in Klebsiella Pneumoniae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
The objectives of this study were to characterize the role of the uhpT, glpT, and fosA genes in fosfomycin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and evaluate the use of sodium phosphonoformate (PPF) in combination with ...
Article
Mechanisms of Tolerance and Resistance to Chlorhexidine in Clinical Strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae Producers of Carbapenemase: Role of New Type II Toxin-Antitoxin System, PemIK
(MDPI, 2020-09-02)
Although the failure of antibiotic treatment is normally attributed to resistance, tolerance and persistence display a significant role in the lack of response to antibiotics. Due to the fact that several nosocomial ...
Article
Genomic analysis of 40 prophages located in the genomes of 16 carbapenemase-producing clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae
(2020)
Klebsiella pneumoniae is the clinically most important species within the genus Klebsiella and, as a result of the continuous emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains, the cause of severe nosocomial infections. The ...
Article
Phenotypic and Genomic Comparison of Klebsiella pneumoniae Lytic Phages: vB_KpnM-VAC66 and vB_KpnM-VAC13
(MDPI, 2021-12-31)
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a human pathogen that worsens the prognosis of many immuno compromised patients. Here, we annotated and compared the genomes of two lytic phages that infect clinical strains of K. pneumoniae ...
Article
Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Producing Extended-Spectrum B-Lactamases in Spain: Microbiological and Clinical Features
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-03)
Extended-spectrum B-lactamases (ESBL) of the CTX-M, SHV, and TEM families were recognized in 76 (67%), 31 (27%), and 6 (5%) isolates, respectively, among 162 ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBLKp) strains obtained ...
Article
CARB-ES-19 Multicenter Study of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli From All Spanish Provinces Reveals Interregional Spread of High-Risk Clones Such as ST307/OXA-48 and ST512/KPC-3
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
Objectives: CARB-ES-19 is a comprehensive, multicenter, nationwide study integrating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in the surveillance of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CP-Kpn) and E. coli (CP-Eco) to determine ...
