The inappropriate use of antibiotics may cause antibiotic resistance, cause side effects, and eventually cause an increase in healthcare costs. This study aimed to determine a flow cytometry-based test to detect ESBL and MDR in a short time.
The study included 25 isolates and 25 isolates identified by Phoenix TM 100 automated system [Becton Dickinson, USA]. In the flow cytometric method, the percentages of death cells exposed to cephalosporin including ceftazidime [CAZ] or cefotaxime [CTX] and clavulanic acid [CLA] combination, were compared with death cells exposed only to a cephalosporin [CAZ or CTX]. CLA index values [CAZ-CLA and CTX-CLA indices] were obtained for CTX and CAZ. Index values that were higher than 1.5 just for one cephalosporin were accepted as positive.
Cell viability was performed after 1-hour exposure to the drugs. When PI staining was applied to ESBL-treated and MDR-treated bacteria, 65% and 85% had nonviable membranes, indicating the method efficiently identified only cells with damaged membranes.
Flow cytometry is a rapid and reliable method for the detection of ESBL and MDR in clinical microbiology laboratories.
抗生素的不当使用可能导致抗生素耐药性,引发副作用,并最终导致医疗成本增加。本研究旨在确定一种基于流式细胞术的检测方法,以便在短时间内检测超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)和多重耐药性(MDR)。
本研究纳入了由美国贝克顿·迪金森公司的Phoenix TM 100自动化系统鉴定的25株[具体细菌名称未给出]分离株和25株[具体细菌名称未给出]分离株。在流式细胞术方法中,将暴露于头孢他啶(CAZ)或头孢噻肟(CTX)与克拉维酸(CLA)组合的头孢菌素的死亡细胞百分比,与仅暴露于一种头孢菌素(CAZ或CTX)的死亡细胞进行比较。获得了CTX和CAZ的CLA指数值(CAZ-CLA和CTX-CLA指数)。仅一种头孢菌素的指数值高于1.5被视为阳性。
在药物暴露1小时后进行细胞活力检测。当对经ESBL处理和经MDR处理的细菌进行碘化丙啶(PI)染色时,65%和85%的细菌具有无活力的细胞膜,表明该方法仅能有效识别细胞膜受损的细胞。
流式细胞术是临床微生物实验室检测ESBL和MDR的一种快速且可靠的方法。
