| Abstract |
In this study, we report the carbapenemase-encoding genes and colistin resistance in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical isolates included carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant E. coli, carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa. Carbapenemase-encoding genes were detected by PCR. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates were analyzed using the Rapid Polymyxin NP assay. mcr genes were screened by PCR. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and whole-genome sequencing were performed on representative isolates. A total of 80 carbapenem-resistant E. coli, 103 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, 284 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, and 129 carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered. All carbapenem-resistant E. coli and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates were included for further analysis. A selection of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains was further analyzed (86 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii and 82 carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa). Among carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates, the most frequent gene was blaNDM (86/103 [83.5%] and 72/80 [90%], respectively). For carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, the most frequently detected gene was blaOXA-40 (52/86, 60.5%), and for carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa, was blaVIM (19/82, 23.2%). For carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, five indistinguishable pulsotypes were detected. Circulation of K. pneumoniae New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) and E. coli NDM was detected in Mexico. High virulence sequence types (STs), such as K. pneumoniae ST307, E. coli ST167, P. aeruginosa ST111, and A. baumannii ST2, were detected. Among K. pneumoniae isolates, 18/101 (17.8%) were positive for the Polymyxin NP test (two, 11.0% positive for the mcr-1 gene, and one, 5.6% with disruption of the mgrB gene). All E. coli isolates were negative for the Polymyxin NP test. In conclusion, K. pneumoniae NDM and E. coli NDM were detected in Mexico, with the circulation of highly virulent STs. These results are relevant in clinical practice to guide antibiotic therapies considering the molecular mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 January 2023.
All research outputs
#4,522,210
of 24,135,931 outputs
Outputs from Microbial Drug Resistance: Mechanism, Epidemiology, & Disease
#53
of 1,165 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#95,615
of 444,424 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Microbial Drug Resistance: Mechanism, Epidemiology, & Disease
#2
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,135,931 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,165 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 444,424 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
