Phenotypic and Genotypic Detection of Metallo-Beta-Lactamases in Carbapenem Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Detection of Metallo-Beta Lactamases Among Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

BACKGROUND Carbapenems are important drugs used for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, however metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) are able to efficiently hydrolyze these classes of drugs. Immediate detection of the MBL-producing P. aeruginosa is necessary in order to accurately treat infections caused by this organism. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of MBL producing P. aerugi...

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...

detection of metallo-beta lactamases among carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa

conclusions epidemiological and regional evaluation of mbl-producing p. aeruginosa through simple and inexpensive methods should be considered for effective treatment of carbapenem-resistant p. aeruginosa infections. results amongst all the p. aeruginosa isolates, 58.7% were resistant to imipenem while 31.8%, 13.5% and 74.4% were resistant to meropenem, doripenem and ertapenem, respectively. am...

Usefulness of phenotypic and genotypic methods for metallo-beta-lactamases detection in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains

BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic microorganism with an increasing role in nosocomial outbreaks. For the last 2 decades, a growing number of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains have been identified, including the metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) producers. The study aimed to investigate the genetic relatedness of, and MBLs production among, a collection of A. baumannii ...
