Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex PCR for genes encoding prevalent OXA carbapenemases in Acinetobacter spp.
Neil Woodford,Matthew J. Ellington,Juliana Coelho,Jane F. Turton,M. Elaina Ward,Susan Brown,Sebastian G. B. Amyes,David M. Livermore +7 more
TL;DR: A novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay able to detect and distinguish alleles encoding three subgroups of acquired OXA carbapenemases that are scattered in Acinetobacter spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of ISAba1 in expression of OXA carbapenemase genes in Acinetobacter baumannii
Jane F. Turton,M. Elaina Ward,Neil Woodford,Mary E. Kaufmann,Rachel Pike,David M. Livermore,Tyrone L. Pitt +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that ISAba1 is providing the promoter for blaOXA-51-like and, probably, for blasOxA-23-like, which are likely to be the next generation of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neil Woodford,John W.T. Dallow,Robert Hill,Marie-France I. Palepou,Rachel Pike,M. Elaina Ward,Marina Warner,David M. Livermore +7 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the fact that ertapenem resistance is being detected in Klebsiella spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
