BacteriologyA Cost-Effective Method for Identifying Enterobacterales with OXA-181OXA-181 is the second most common global OXA-48-like carbapenemase and is endemic in the Indian subcontinent. Molecular studies have shown that Enterobacterales with OXA-181 are often introduced into regions of nonendemicity. Distinguishing OXA-181 from other OXA-48-like enzymes often requires sequencing, which is rather expensive and time-consuming.
ImmunoassaysDevelopment and Multicentric Validation of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Rapid Detection of MCR-1-Producing EnterobacteriaceaeColistin has become a last-resort antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by highly drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, it has been widely used in the livestock sector.
