Diversity of β-Lactamases Produced by Ceftazidime-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Causing Bloodstream Infections in Brazil

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2009

A retrospective survey was conducted to characterize β-lactamases in a collection of 43 ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients with bloodstream infections hospitalized at a Brazilian teaching hospital between January and December 2005. Resistance rates for carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and quinolones were over 80%, with only colistin remaining active against all isolates. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified seven different genotypes. AmpC overproduction was found to be the sole β-lactamase-mediated mechanism responsible for ceftazidime resistance in four isolates (9.3%). Nine isolates (20.9%) produced an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), either GES-1 ( n = 7, 16.3%) or CTX-M-2 ( n = 2, 4.6%). Carbapenemase activity was detected in 30 (70%) additional isolates. Among those isolates, two isolates (4.6%) produced the ESBL GES-5, possessing the ability to hydrolyze imipenem; a single isolate (2.3%) produced the metallo-β-lactam...

Diversity of -Lactamases Produced by Ceftazidime-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Causing Bloodstream Infections in Brazil

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2009

A retrospective survey was conducted to characterize ␤-lactamases in a collection of 43 ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients with bloodstream infections hospitalized at a Brazilian teaching hospital between January and December 2005. Resistance rates for carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and quinolones were over 80%, with only colistin remaining active against all isolates. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified seven different genotypes. AmpC overproduction was found to be the sole ␤-lactamase-mediated mechanism responsible for ceftazidime resistance in four isolates (9.3%). Nine isolates (20.9%) produced an extended-spectrum ␤-lactamase (ESBL), either GES-1 (n ‫؍‬ 7, 16.3%) or CTX-M-2 (n ‫؍‬ 2, 4.6%). Carbapenemase activity was detected in 30 (70%) additional isolates. Among those isolates, two isolates (4.6%) produced the ESBL GES-5, possessing the ability to hydrolyze imipenem; a single isolate (2.3%) produced the metallo-␤-lactamase (MBL) IMP-1; and 27 isolates produced the MBL SPM-1 (62.8%). None of the isolates coproduced both ESBL and MBL. Insertion sequence elements ISCR4 and ISCR1 were associated with bla SPM-1 and bla CTX-M-2 genes, respectively, whereas the bla GES-1 and bla GES-5 genes were part of class 1 integron structures. This study underlines the spread of MBL-and ESBL-producing P. aeruginosa isolates as an important source of ceftazidime resistance in Brazil.

β-lactamase-mediated resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Research in Microbiology, 1999

The role of chromosomal cephalosporinases and secondary-lactamases in resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated. Strains 687, 59, and 58 expressed an inducible chromosomal cephalosporinase, efficiently enhanced with cefoxitin and imipenem. The inducible activity in strain 802 was produced at a moderately elevated basal level and may be involved in resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins and aztreonam. All strains produced secondary-lactamases inhibited by clavulanate: strains 687, 59, and 58 had carbenicillinases with pIs of 5.7 and 5.3. Strain 802 expressed a secondary-lactamase of pI 7.6 which may be a novel extended spectrum-lactamase different from known enzymes of P. aeruginosa.

PER-1- and OXA-10-like β-lactamases in ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from intensive care unit patients in Istanbul, Turkey

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2005

The presence of PER-1-and OXA-10-like b-lactamases was investigated by PCR in 49 ceftazidimeresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients hospitalised in the 24-bed general intensive care unit of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine during a 12-month period between February 1999 and February 2000. The clonal relatedness of the isolates was investigated by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, and the sequences of the PER-1 and OXA genes from all isolates were determined. The rates of resistance of the isolates to imipenem, aztreonam and cefepime were 98%, 92% and 96%, respectively, and to piperacillin and piperacillin-tazobactam were 41% and 37%, respectively. Using the double-disk synergy test, 37% (18 ⁄ 49) of the isolates were identified as extended-spectrum b-lactamase producers. The PER-1 gene was identified in 86% (42 ⁄ 49) and the OXA-10 gene in 55% (27 ⁄ 49) of the ceftazidime-resistant isolates. Of isolates carrying the PER-1 gene, 48% (20 ⁄ 42) also carried the OXA-10 gene. The respective nucleotide sequences were identical for each isolate. Sixteen RAPD patterns were detected among the PER-1-positive isolates, but 60% (25 ⁄ 42) of the PER-1-positive isolates belonged to two distinct patterns, while the remainder exhibited a wide clonal diversity. The results indicated that the prevalence of PER-1-and OXA-10-like b-lactamases remains high among ceftazidime-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates in Turkey.

Nationwide Investigation of Extended-Spectrum -Lactamases, Metallo- -Lactamases, and Extended-Spectrum Oxacillinases Produced by Ceftazidime-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains in France

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010

A nationwide study aimed to identify the extended-spectrum ␤-lactamases (ESBLs), metallo-␤-lactamases (MBLs), and extended-spectrum oxacillinases (ES-OXAs) in a French collection of 140 clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates highly resistant to ceftazidime. Six ESBLs (PER-1, n ‫؍‬ 3; SHV-2a, n ‫؍‬ 2; VEB-1a, n ‫؍‬ 1), four MBLs (VIM-2, n ‫؍‬ 3; IMP-18, n ‫؍‬ 1), and five ES-OXAs (OXA-19, n ‫؍‬ 4; OXA-28, n ‫؍‬ 1) were identified in 13 isolates (9.3% of the collection). The prevalence of these enzymes is still low in French clinical P. aeruginosa isolates but deserves to be closely monitored.

Phenotypic and Molecular Detection of Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase among Ceftazidime Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Wound Swab

Bangladesh Journal of Medical Microbiology

ESBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported to be an important cause of nosocomial infection. The study was undertaken to determine ESBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa by phenotypic method and to detect bla OXA-10 ESBL gene by molecular method. A total of 288 wound infection cases attending the in-patient department of Mitford Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital were enrolled for this study. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated following standard procedure and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility test by disc-diffusion method. Ceftazidime resistant strains were confirmed by MIC by agar dilution method. Confirmed ceftazidime resistant strains were tested for ESBL production by CLSI phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test (PCDDT) and bla OXA-10 ESBL gene was identified by employing conventional PCR. Out of 92 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, confirmed ceftazidime resistant strains were 60. PCDDT detected 49 (81.67%) ESBL producers and PCR detected 44 (73.33%) posi...
