OBJECTIVES: Increased rates of carbapenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have forced clinicians to rely upon last-line agents, such as the polymyxins, or empirical, unoptimized combination therapy. Therefore, the objectives of this stud...
BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is emerging as a significant pathogen causing healthcare-associated infections. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS...

INTRODUCTION: The spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is difficult to control especially in the hospitals due to the successful mobilization and evolution of the genetic elements harboring the resistant determinants. The stu...
A sensitive and fast HPLC method using ultraviolet diode-array detector (DAD)/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of tebipenem pivoxyl and in the presence of degradation products formed d...
Use matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to screen the specific mass peaks of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), compare the differences in spectrum peaks between intestinal and b...
Carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence represent two distinct evolutionary pathways in , posing significant challenges in clinical settings. Of particular concern are convergent strains that combine both traits, complicating timely diagnosis and tr...
