Phenotypic Detection Of Metallo-beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated From Burned Patients
Background and Objective: Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-mediated resistance is an emerging threat in hospital isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is not enough information from Iran regarding the prevalence and the screening methods for such enzymes. The present study was undertaken to detect Metallo betalactamase in strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burned patien...
متن کاملRapidly emerging novel metallo beta lactamase--New Delhi metallo beta lactamase-1 (NDM-1)--is it a misnomer.
Metallo β-lactamases is the name given to certain enzymes found in gram negative bacteria belonging to Enter-obacteriaceae which confers resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics including carbapenems except monobactams. They belong to Ambler molecular class B and Bush-Jacoby-Medeiros Group 3.1,2 Resistance to carbapenems due to production of metallo β-lactamases in Gram Negative organisms is an i...
متن کاملDetection of metallo-β-lactamase genes in clinical specimens by a commercial multiplex PCR system.
hyplex®-MBL ID Multiplex PCR-ELISA, a novel method for identifying metallo-β-lactamase genes directly in clinical specimens, was evaluated using a consecutive collection of 326 samples from three hospitals in Greece characterized by high prevalence of VIM producers. The method exhibited high sensitivity (98.0%) and specificity (98.6%) and was proven reliable in detecting bla(VIM) genes in blood...
متن کاملAn evaluation of four different phenotypic techniques for detection of metallo-beta-lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
PURPOSE The present study was undertaken to detect metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) in nosocomial isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by four different phenotypic methods. METHODS Ninety-one consecutive P. aeruginosa isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing by disc-diffusion assay and Vitek 2. Imipenem resistance was determined by three different methods (disc-diffusion, Vitek 2 and E tes...
متن کاملDetection of metallo-beta-lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care units.
BACKGROUND Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a threat to hospital infection control, due to its multi-drug resistance, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). AIMS This study was carried out to detect MBL producing P. aeruginosa isolates from medical and surgical ICUs, to compare and evaluate different phenotypic methods currently in use and to de...
