Nosocomial outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying blaVIM-2 in burn wards, China.
©2011 Elsevier Editora Ltda. All rights reserved. PCR analyses were performed with whole genomic DNA from all case isolates. Primers used for analysis of blaVIM /blaIMP genes were Vim F/R, Imp F/R respectively. PCR primers were designed and PCR conditions were performed as previously described.3 Association of integrons with MBL genes was confirmed by PCR using combination of blaand integron-sp...
متن کاملEmerging Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Carrying blaIMP Among Burn Patients in Isfahan, Iran
BACKGROUND Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant pathogen in burn patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates, including those resistant to imipenemase (IMP), in a burn unit in Isfahan, Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty P. aeruginosa isolates from burn patients ...
متن کاملNosocomial outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a new bla(IMP) allele, bla(IMP-7).
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from an outbreak in Canada were highly resistant to carbapenems and ceftazidime but not piperacillin. They produced a novel integron-associated metallo-beta-lactamase, designated IMP-7, with 91% identity to IMP-1. bla(IMP-7) was not detected with standard bla(IMP)-specific primers, owing to mismatches in the forward primer.
متن کاملemerging carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates carrying blaimp among burn patients in isfahan, iran
conclusions the results of this study show that the rate of p. aeruginosa-caused burn wound infections was very high, and many of the isolates were resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials. such extensive resistance to antimicrobial classes is important because few treatment options remain for patients with burn wound infections. blaimp-producing p. aeruginosa isolates are a rising ...
متن کاملCarbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa–Carrying VIM-2 Metallo-β-Lactamase Determinants, Croatia
To the Editor: Carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes of the VIM-type (six different variants are known: VIM-1, VIM-2, VIM-3, VIM-4, VIM-5, and VIM-6) are new molecular class B metallo-β-lactamases. These enzymes have recently been identified in carbapenem-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram-negative nonfermenters from European countries in the Koh et al., GenBank accession no. ...
