Fifty-three clinical isolates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae collected from three hospitals in Korea were investigated for phenotypical and genotypical characterizations. Among these, 39 strains (74%) were shown by isoelectric focusing to carry SHV-type beta-lactamases: 27 strains showed the pI 8.2 beta-lactamase, and another 12 strains showed the pI 7.6 beta-lactamase. The SHV gene of each of these strains was amplified by PCR, followed by nucleotide sequencing analysis. The gene of the pI 8.2 beta-lactamase was found to be identical to the sequences encoding SHV-12, and the gene of the pI 7.6 beta-lactamase was identical to the sequences encoding SHV-2a. A total of eight cefoxitin-resistant strains were found to have the plasmid-mediated AmpC-type beta-lactamase, with a pI of 8.0, and this was confirmed to be CMY-1 beta-lactamase by PCR and hybridization analysis. Noteworthy in this study is the fact that SHV-12 and SHV-2a have been the most commonly identified SHV-type ESBLs in Korea.
对从韩国三所医院收集的53株产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)的肺炎克雷伯菌临床分离株进行了表型和基因型特征研究。其中,39株(74%)经等电聚焦显示携带SHV型β-内酰胺酶:27株显示pI 8.2β-内酰胺酶,另外12株显示pI 7.6β-内酰胺酶。对这些菌株的每一株SHV基因进行PCR扩增,随后进行核苷酸序列分析。发现pI 8.2β-内酰胺酶的基因与编码SHV-12的序列相同,pI 7.6β-内酰胺酶的基因与编码SHV-2a的序列相同。共发现8株头孢西丁耐药菌株具有质粒介导的AmpC型β-内酰胺酶,pI为8.0,经PCR和杂交分析证实为CMY-1β-内酰胺酶。本研究中值得注意的是,SHV-12和SHV-2a是韩国最常见的SHV型ESBLs。
