The increasing burden of resistance in Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) is becoming a major issue for hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms is important.
Resistance genes of phenotypically colistin-resistant GNB (n = 60) were determined using whole genome sequencing. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were detected by Vitek®2 & broth microdilution.
Of these phenotypically colistin-resistant isolates, 78% were also genetically resistant to colistin. Activation of efflux pumps, and point-mutations in , and genes conferred colistin resistance among GNB. Eight different strains of were identified and ST43 was the most prominent strain with capsular type-specific (cps) gene KL30.
These results, in combination with rapid diagnostic methods, will help us better advice appropriate antimicrobial regimens.
革兰氏阴性菌(GNB)耐药负担的不断增加正成为医院获得性感染的一个主要问题。因此,了解其分子机制很重要。
使用全基因组测序确定表型耐黏菌素GNB(n = 60)的耐药基因。通过Vitek®2和肉汤微量稀释法检测抗菌药物敏感性模式。
在这些表型耐黏菌素的分离株中,78%在基因上也对黏菌素耐药。外排泵的激活以及 、 和 基因中的点突变赋予了GNB对黏菌素的耐药性。鉴定出8种不同的 菌株,ST43是具有荚膜型特异性(cps)基因KL30的最主要菌株。
这些结果与快速诊断方法相结合,将有助于我们更好地建议合适的抗菌治疗方案。
