Increasing Resistance to Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporins, Fluoroquinolone, and Carbapenem in Gram-Negative Bacilli and the Emergence of Carbapenem Non-Susceptibility in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Analysis of Korean Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (KARMS) Data From 2013 to 2015
Dokyun Kim,Ji Young Ahn,Chae Hoon Lee,Sook Jin Jang,Hyukmin Lee,Dongeun Yong,Seok Jeong,Kyungwon Lee +7 more
TL;DR: Between 2013 and 2015, the resistance rates of E. coli to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins increased continuously, while carbapenem-susceptibility gradually decreased, particularly in K. pneumoniae; therefore, few treatment options remain for these resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacilli in Korean Nationwide Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance group hospitals in 2003: Continued prevalence of VIM-producing pseudomonas spp. and increase of IMP-producing Acinetobacter spp
Kyungwon Lee,Gyoung Yim Ha,Bo Moon Shin,Jin Ju Kim,Jung Oak Kang,Sook Jin Jang,Dongeun Yong,Yunsop Chong +7 more
TL;DR: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis suggested the intra- and inter-hospital spread of MBL-producing strains at some hospitals and blaVIM-like allele-positive P. aeruginosa remained highly prevalent, and the proportion of blaIMP-like trait-positive Acinetobacter spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome-Encoded AmpC and CTX-M Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of Proteus mirabilis from Korea
Wonkeun Song,Juwon Kim,Il Kwon Bae,Seok Jeong,Young Hee Seo,Jong Hee Shin,Sook Jin Jang,Young Uh,Jeong Hwan Shin,Mi-Kyung Lee,Kyungwon Lee +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that a chromosomal location of CTX-M ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase genes in P. mirabilis is no longer an unusual phenomenon in hospital environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of rpoB gene sequencing, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, gyrB multiplex PCR, and the VITEK2 system for identification of Acinetobacter clinical isolates.
Min Jung Lee,Sook Jin Jang,Xue Min Li,Geon Park,Joong-Ki Kook,Min Jung Kim,Young-Hyo Chang,Jong Hee Shin,Soo Hyun Kim,Dong-Min Kim,Seong-Ho Kang,Dae-Soo Moon +11 more
TL;DR: The rpoB gene sequencing and the 16S rRNA gene sequencing may be useful in identifying Acinetobacter and the gyrB multiplex PCR seems to be very useful for the detection of ACB complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Amphotericin B Resistance in Candida haemulonii and Closely Related Species by Use of the Etest, Vitek-2 Yeast Susceptibility System, and CLSI and EUCAST Broth Microdilution Methods
Jong Hee Shin,Mi-Na Kim,Sook Jin Jang,Min Young Ju,Soo Hyun Kim,Myung Geun Shin,Soon Pal Suh,Dong Wook Ryang +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first data on the efficacy of the Etest-MH and its excellent agreement with Vitek-2 for discriminating AMB-resistant fromAMB-susceptible isolates of these Candida species.
