Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Detection and Identification of Metallo-β-Lactamase-Encoding Genes by Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay and Melt Curve Analysis

TL;DR: The real-time PCR assay was able to detect all MβL-harboring clinical isolates, and the Tm-assigned genotypes were 100% coincident with previous sequencing results, meaning this assay could be suitable for identification of M βL-producing gram-negative bacteria by molecular diagnostic laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid detection of carbapenemase genes by multiplex real-time PCR

TL;DR: A single multiplex real-time PCR assay to detect six different genetic types of carbapenemases already identified in Enterobacteriaceae and showed 100% concordance with the genotypes previously identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

First report of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Brazil.

TL;DR: The carbapenems are regarded as the preferential therapeutic option for treatment of serious health care-associated infections with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria with Enterobacteriaceae resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

An outbreak of catalase-negative meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: The first outbreak of a catalase-negative strain of MRSA, which was initially detected by the unusual result of this phenotypical test, was reported in the Hospital Sanatorinhos de Carapicuíba in São Paulo, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and reliable bacterial identification direct from positive blood culture using a new TFA sample preparation protocol and the Vitek® MS system.

TL;DR: A simple and reliable protocol using 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was developed to identify bacteria directly from blood cultures on the Vitek® MS system, and results presented a correlation of 99% for Gram-negative bacteria at species level and 86.3% of Gram-positive bacteria at the genus and species levels.
