BACKGROUND/AIM: The increasing prevalence and global spread of difficult-to-treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has become a serious problem. The aim of this study is to investigate the resistance patterns and tigecycline sensitivity of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains.
Acinetobacter strains that were carbapenem-resistant and collected mainly from intensive care units were included into this study. The antibiotic sensitivity/resistance of the strains to other antibiotics and tigecycline were noted. Presence of blaOXA-23, blaOXA-48, blaOXA-58, and NDM-1 was investigated by PCR.
In total, 44 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains were detected. In addition, 57% (25/44) showed resistance to netilmicin and 2% (1/43) to tigecycline. All of the strains were susceptible to colistin. blaOXA-58 was found only in one (2%) strain while blaOXA-23 was found in 14 (32%) strains. All strains were negative for blaOXA-48 and NDM-1.
blaOXA-23 was the main resistance pattern in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains. blaOXA-58 was present only in one strain and no blaOXA-48 was found. Tigecycline susceptibility is high and it can be a treatment option for a possible combination therapy of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, especially for those for whom colistin is contraindicated because of its toxicity.
背景/目的:难以治疗的碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌的患病率不断上升和在全球范围内的传播已成为一个严重的问题。本研究旨在研究碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌菌株的耐药模式和替加环素敏感性。
本研究纳入了主要从重症监护病房收集的碳青霉烯类耐药的不动杆菌菌株。记录了菌株对其他抗生素和替加环素的抗生素敏感性/耐药性。通过 PCR 研究 blaOXA-23、blaOXA-48、blaOXA-58 和 NDM-1 的存在情况。
共检测到 44 株碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌。此外,57%(25/44)对奈替米星耐药,2%(1/43)对替加环素耐药。所有菌株均对黏菌素敏感。仅在 1 株(2%)中发现 blaOXA-58,而在 14 株(32%)中发现 blaOXA-23。所有菌株均为 blaOXA-48 和 NDM-1 阴性。
blaOXA-23 是碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌菌株的主要耐药模式。blaOXA-58 仅存在于一株菌中,未发现 blaOXA-48。替加环素敏感性高,可作为碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌的可能联合治疗方案的治疗选择,特别是对于那些由于其毒性而不能使用黏菌素的患者。
