Dissemination of metallo-beta-lactamases (carbapenemases) was investigated retrospectively among ceftazidimeand imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in a hematology unit in Marseilles, France, from September, 1995, to March, 1999. Sixteen clinical isolates and 23 environmental strains were identified, with a same bla (VIM-2) gene that encoded a carbapenemase identified in Southern Europe and South Korea. Five different genotypes were identified among clinical and environmental P. aeruginosa isolates all harboring an approximately 45-kb plasmid with bla (VIM-2)-positive class 1 integrons varying in structures. This study identified a hidden reservoir of carbapenemase producers.
1995年9月至1999年3月期间,在法国马赛一家血液科,对耐头孢他啶和亚胺培南的铜绿假单胞菌分离株中金属β-内酰胺酶(碳青霉烯酶)的传播情况进行了回顾性研究。共鉴定出16株临床分离株和23株环境菌株,它们具有相同的bla(VIM-2)基因,该基因编码一种在南欧和韩国发现的碳青霉烯酶。在临床和环境铜绿假单胞菌分离株中鉴定出五种不同的基因型,所有分离株均携带一个约45kb的质粒,其上带有结构各异的bla(VIM-2)阳性1类整合子。本研究发现了碳青霉烯酶产生菌的一个隐藏来源。
