Contribution of β-lactamases and porin proteins OmpK35 and OmpK36 to carbapenem resistance in clinical isolates of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Fifty-seven carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates belonging to ST11 (50 isolates), ST423 (5 isolates), and two other sequence types were studied. All were positive for blaKPC-2, blaTEM-1, and blaCTX-M-14. SDS-PAGE analysis of six representative isolates demonstrated varied porin expression. Nevertheless, when blaKPC-2 was deleted, carbapenem resistance was markedly reduced. Additi...
متن کاملPrevalence of OmpK35 and OmpK36 porin expression in beta-lactamase and non-betalactamase- producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to confirm the presence of OmpK35 and OmpK36 in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing and nonextended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and to determine the relationship between porin expression and resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. METHODS Fifty-two K. pneumoniae isolates were obtained and analyzed for extended-sp...
متن کاملDetection of OqxAB efflux pumps, OmpK35 and OmpK36 porins in extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Iran.
BACKGROUND & AIM The aim of this study was the detection of OqxAB efflux pumps, OmpK35 and OmpK36 porins among extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted with 83 K. pneumoniae isolates from two hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion and Broth M...
متن کاملIn vitro emergence of carbapenem resistance in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is thought to be the most common species producing ESBLs, and almost 50% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates produce ESBL in some countries [1]. Furthermore, antimicrobial co-resistance within ESBL-producing isolate communities limits the number of drugs that are effective against these strains, leaving carbapenems as the most reliable agents [2-3]. Carbapenem resistance can...
متن کاملNational Surveillance Study on Carbapenem Non-Susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae in Taiwan: The Emergence and Rapid Dissemination of KPC-2 Carbapenemase
OBJECTIVES The global spread and increasing incidence of carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CnSKP) has made its treatment difficult, increasing the mortality. To establish nationwide data on CnSKP spread and carbapenem-resistance mechanisms, we conducted a national surveillance study in Taiwanese hospitals. METHODS We collected 100 and 247 CnSKP isolates in 2010 and 2012, respe...
