Infections caused by multidrug resistant microorganisms are a global health problem, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important nosocomial pathogen, easily disseminated in the hospital environment. The aim of this study was to determine SPM-1 in P. aeruginosa strains in 30 Brazilian hospitals and the genetic similarity of isolates.
We analyzed 161 isolates of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa. Imipenem/EDTA and imipenem strip were used for phenotypic detection of MBL production; and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for genetic detection. Genetic similarity was determined by rep-PCR.
We obtained 136/161 (84.5%) isolates with positive phenotypic result for metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and the bla gene was identified in 41 isolates. There was a predominant profile (>95% of genetic similarity) in 92.7% of isolates. This predominant profile was widely disseminated in Paraná state.
SPM-1 is the main MBL identified in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa in Southern Brazil. The genetic similarity among some isolates suggests a clonal expansion.
多重耐药微生物引起的感染是一个全球性的健康问题,铜绿假单胞菌是一种重要的医院病原体,很容易在医院环境中传播。本研究的目的是确定巴西30家医院中铜绿假单胞菌菌株中的SPM-1以及分离株的基因相似性。
我们分析了161株耐碳青霉烯类铜绿假单胞菌。亚胺培南/乙二胺四乙酸(Imipenem/EDTA)和亚胺培南试纸条用于金属β-内酰胺酶(MBL)产生的表型检测;实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)用于基因检测。通过重复PCR确定基因相似性。
我们获得了136/161(84.5%)株金属β-内酰胺酶(MBL)表型检测呈阳性的分离株,并且在41株分离株中鉴定出bla基因。92.7%的分离株存在一种主要图谱(基因相似性>95%)。这种主要图谱在巴拉那州广泛传播。
SPM-1是巴西南部耐碳青霉烯类铜绿假单胞菌中鉴定出的主要MBL。一些分离株之间的基因相似性表明存在克隆扩增。
