Detection 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 کاملRole of Klebsiella pneumoniae OmpK35 porin in antimicrobial resistance.
OmpK35 from Klebsiella pneumoniae is the homologue of Escherichia coli OmpF porin. Expression of OmpK35 in K. pneumoniae strain CSUB10R (lacking both OmpK35 and OmpK36) decreased the MICs of cephalosporins and meropenem > or = 128-fold and decreased the MICs of imipenem, ciprofloxacin, and chloramphenicol > or = 8-fold. MIC reductions by OmpK35 were 4 times (cefepime), 8 times (cefotetan, cefot...
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 کاملContribution of outer membrane protein K36 to antimicrobial resistance and virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
OBJECTIVES Loss of outer membrane protein (Omp) is commonly encountered in multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, little is known about the association between Omp loss and virulence. In the present study, this association was investigated in K. pneumoniae. METHODS An OmpK36-deficient mutant (DeltaOmpK36) was derived from a virulent clinical isolate by targeted gene insertion. An...
متن کاملتشخیص متالوبتالاکتامازها، بتالاکتامازهای با طیف وسیع و پورین‌های غشاء خارجی در ایزوله‌های کلبسیلا پنومونیه جدا شده از بیماران بستری در بیمارستان‌های شهر تهران
Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important causative agents both in form of hospital acquired and community-acquired infections. This bacterium is one of the most prevalent pathogens that is isolated from hospitals and is associated with high mortality rates. The uprising trend of multi drug resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae has limited the treatment optio...
