Abstract
In the last years, an increasing number of untreatable infections caused by drug-resistant microbes have impacted the health care system. Worldwide, infections caused by carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacilli have dramatically increased. Among the CR-Gram-negative bacilli, those producing carbapenemases, such as NDM-1, are the main concern. DifferentEnterobacteralesharboring NDM-1 have been reported lately.Providencia stuartii, a member of theMorganellaceaefamily, is ubiquitous in the environment, but is also known to cause nosocomial infections. Here we describe the genomic analysis of two NDM-1- producingP. stuartiistrains recovered from the same patient as well as other carbapenem resistant strains recovered from the same hospital. As a result of the genomic analysis thirteen resistance genes, including three to beta-lactams (bla(OXA-1),bla(TEM-1),bla(NDM-1)), four to aminoglycosides (aphA6, aac(3)-IId, aac(2 ')-Ia,aac(6 ')-Ib-cr5), one to sulfonamides (sul1), two to chloramphenicol (catB3, catA3), one to rifampicin, one to bleomycin (ble), and one to tetracycline (tet(B)) were found. Moreover, a variety of mobile genetic elements, such as insertion sequences, plasmids and phage- related sequences, were found withinP. stuartiigenomes. The spread of carbapenem-resistant isolates remains a significant clinical and public health concern. Therefore, we considered that the detection of CR isolates is an essential step in addressing this problem.

Abstract
A novel and efficient copper-catalyzed one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 3-N-substituted 1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives from 2-halobenzenesulfonamides, amines and CS2 is described. The reaction proceeds through Ullmann-type S-arylation, intramolecular addition of NH2 with C=S and dehydrosulfide, which provides a new and useful strategy for construction of cyclic aromatic sulfonamides.
