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 کاملComparison of Different Phenotypic Tests for the Detection of Metallo-B-Lactamase (MBL) Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa
MBL production has been increasingly reported among Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is an important nosocomial multidrug resistant pathogen. 2,3 Metallo beta lactamase (MBL) belongs to Ambler class B enzymes. With the help of divalent cation zinc as cofactor for enzymatic activity, they hydrolyze carbapenem as-well-as other blactam antibiotics. The substrate spectrum of this enzyme is quite broad...
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 کاملEvaluation of phenotypic tests for the detection of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a low prevalence country.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate four phenotypic tests for the detection of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a low MBL prevalence setting. METHODS Sixty clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa resistant to imipenem and/or meropenem and seven MBL-positive control strains were examined by: (i) MBL Etest; (ii) combined imipenem discs supplemented with EDTA (IPM-EDTA); (iii) ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Korea
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and twenty nine P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from 23 general hospitals in Korea from March to June 2014. Species were identified by matrix-assited laser ...
