Molecular Epidemiology of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales Strains Isolated from Blood Cultures in Antalya, Turkey

Published: May 8, 2020
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of carbapenemase and CTX-M genes among 330 blood culture isolates of Enterobacterales with reduced susceptibility to at least 1 carbapenem, between 2010 and 2015. Methods BD Max CRE assay and in-house PCR were used to detect carbapenemase and CTX-M genes. Results At least 1 carbapenemase gene was detected among 113 (74.3%) of the 152 carbapenem resistant isolates. The OXA-48...
