Bartolini A, Frasson I, Cavallaro A, Richter S, Palu G
Gut Pathog . 2014 May; 6:13. PMID: 24860620
Background: Multidrug resistance and, in particular, carbapenem resistance is spreading worldwide at an alarming rate, comprehending a variety of bacterial species and causing both nosocomial and community acquired outbursts. Early...

Frasson I, Biasolo M, Bartolini A, Cavallaro A, Richter S, Palu G
Int J Antimicrob Agents . 2013 May; 42(1):68-71. PMID: 23642765
VIM and KPC are two major families of carbapenemases involved in nosocomial outbreaks of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. To rapidly detect bla(VIM)- and bla(KPC)-encoding strains, three multiplex PCR-based methods were designed...

Frasson I, Lavezzo E, Franchin E, Toppo S, Barzon L, Cavallaro A, et al.
J Clin Microbiol . 2012 Sep; 50(11):3768-72. PMID: 22972824
An extremely drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate, sequence type ST101, was isolated from a patient in Italy. We describe antibiotic treatment, measures to clear and contain the infection, and a complete...

Richter S, Frasson I, Franchin E, Bergo C, Lavezzo E, Barzon L, et al.
Gut Pathog . 2012 Jul; 4(1):7. PMID: 22800501
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs) producing bacteria have emerged as a cause of multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections worldwide. KPCs are plasmid-encoded enzymes capable of hydrolysing a broad spectrum of beta-lactams, including...

Richter S, Frasson I, Biasolo M, Bartolini A, Cavallaro A, Palu G
J Clin Microbiol . 2012 Mar; 50(5):1718-20. PMID: 22378915
The novel real-time PCR assay developed as described here was able to detect bla(KPC1/2-12) (bla(KPC-1/2) to bla(KPC-12)) from easily available clinical specimens in less than 2 h. The genotypic assay...

Bressan S, Berlese P, Mion T, Masiero S, Cavallaro A, Da Dalt L
Acta Paediatr . 2011 Sep; 101(3):271-7. PMID: 21950707
Aim: To evaluate the incidence of bacteremia, and the isolated pathogens, in well-appearing children with fever without source (FWS) presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PED), after pneumococcal conjucate vaccine...

Frasson I, Cavallaro A, Bergo C, Richter S, Palu G
Gut Pathog . 2011 Aug; 3(1):12. PMID: 21827661
The spread of aac(6')-Ib-cr plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants was evaluated in 197 enterobacterial isolates recovered in an Italian teaching hospital. The aac(6')-Ib-cr gene was found exclusively in Escherichia coli strains....

Richter S, Frasson I, Bergo C, Parisi S, Cavallaro A, Palu G
J Clin Microbiol . 2011 Mar; 49(5):2040-2. PMID: 21411573
The first case in Europe of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) 2 transfer from K. pneumoniae to Escherichia coli in the same patient is described. KPC-positive plasmids from the two species...

Richter S, Frasson I, Bergo C, Manganelli R, Cavallaro A, Palu G
Int J Antimicrob Agents . 2010 Apr; 35(6):578-83. PMID: 20356715
The spread of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants (qnr-like determinants) was evaluated in a collection of 232 ciprofloxacin-resistant or extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacterial isolates recovered between November 2007 and May 2008...
