Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome sequencing snapshot of multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from hospitals and receiving wastewater treatment plants in Southern Romania.
Marius Surleac,Ilda Czobor Barbu,Simona Paraschiv,Laura Ioana Popa,Irina Gheorghe,Irina Gheorghe,Luminita Marutescu,Luminita Marutescu,Marcela Popa,Ionela Sarbu,Daniela Tălăpan,Mihai Nita,Alina Viorica Iancu,Manuela Arbune,Alina Manole,Serban Nicolescu,Oana Săndulescu,Adrian Streinu-Cercel,Dan Otelea,Mariana Carmen Chifiriuc +19 more
TL;DR: The genomic characterization of 47 multi-drug resistant, carbapenem resistant and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from the influent versus effluent wastewater samples could be used as markers for the efficiency of the WWTPs in eliminating AR bacteria and ARGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriocins in the Era of Antibiotic Resistance: Rising to the Challenge
Gratiela Gradisteanu Pircalabioru,Laura Ioana Popa,Luminita Marutescu,Irina Gheorghe,Marcela Popa,Ilda Czobor Barbu,Rodica Cristescu,Mariana Carmen Chifiriuc +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of bacteriocins as antimicrobial therapeutics for infections produced mainly by resistant pathogens was discussed, where the authors discussed the potential to use bacterio-nuclei as a substitute for traditional antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidrug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 Clone Survival Chain From Inpatients to Hospital Effluent After Chlorine Treatment
Laura Ioana Popa,Irina Gheorghe,Ilda Czobor Barbu,Marius Surleac,Simona Paraschiv,Luminiţa Măruţescu,Marcela Popa,Graţiela Grădişteanu Pîrcălăbioru,Daniela Tălăpan,Mihai Niţă,Anca Streinu-Cercel,Adrian Streinu-Cercel,Dan Oţelea,Mariana Carmen Chifiriuc +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the transmission of a multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 clone from hospital to wastewater and its persistence after chlorine treatment, raising the risk of surface water contamination and further dissemination to different components of the trophic chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Snapshot of Phylogenetic Groups, Virulence, and Resistance Markers in Escherichia coli Uropathogenic Strains Isolated from Outpatients with Urinary Tract Infections in Bucharest, Romania.
Violeta Corina Cristea,Irina Gheorghe,Ilda Czobor Barbu,Laura Ioana Popa,Bogdan Ispas,Georgiana Alexandra Grigore,Irina Bucatariu,Gabriela Loredana Popa,Maria-Cristina Angelescu,Alexandra Mihaela Velican,Luminita Marutescu,Marcela Popa,Mariana Carmen Chifiriuc,Ioan Mircea Popa +13 more
TL;DR: The findings showed that the community UPEC strains circulating in Bucharest, Romania, belong predominantly to group B2 and >90% harbored the fimH gene, which is the most frequent virulence gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Strategies to Combat β-Lactamase Producing ESKAPE Pathogens.
Corneliu Ovidiu Vrancianu,Irina Gheorghe,Elena-Georgiana Dobre,Ilda Czobor Barbu,Roxana Elena Cristian,Marcela Popa,Sang Hee Lee,Carmen Limban,Ilinca Margareta Vlad,Mariana Carmen Chifiriuc +9 more
TL;DR: Several promising alternative approaches such as bacteriophages, antimicrobial peptides, nanoparticles, CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) cas technology, or vaccination developed to limit antimicrobial resistance in this endless fight against Gram-negative pathogens are discussed.
