چکیده

background :   ampc beta lactamases play a significant role in creating resistance to third generation cephalosporins worldwide. they mostly express on chromosome of enterobacteriaceae especially escherichia coli and cause consequential problem in clinical treatment and lead to failure in diagnosis and phenotypic test recommended by clinical and laboratory standards institute.   methods : totally 200 e. coli isolates from different hospitals of tehran were collected. the isolates were screened by disk diffusion method according to the clsi guidelines. the profiles and prevalence surveys of ampc ( dha , citm , mox and fox -type) β-lactamase genes in clinical isolates of e. coli by phenotypic and molecular methods.   results :    out of 200 e. coli isolated, 115 (89.8%) and 13 (10.2%) isolates were identified as esbl- and ampc- beta-lactamase producers, respectively. among ampc producers, 13 (100%) and 5 (38.5%) isolates was reported by pcr assay as blacitm and dha , respectively. mox and fox genes were not detected in any sample. conclusion :   our results highlight the importance of using molecular detection methods to identify β-lactamase-producer that have resistance to antibiotics.

multiplex pcr study of plasmid-mediated ampc beta-lactamase genes in clinical isolates of escherichia coli

background :   ampc β-lactamases are important cephalosporinases chromosomally encoded in many of enterobacteriaceae and a few other organisms where they mediate resistance to cephalothin, cefazolin, cefoxitin and penicillins. the six different families of plasmid-mediated ampc β-lactamases have been described, but no phenotypic test can discriminate among them. ampc multiplex pcr has been succ...

Presence of different beta-lactamase classes among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa expressing AmpC beta-lactamase enzyme.

INTRODUCTION Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are difficult to treat as the majority of isolates exhibit varying degrees of beta-lactamase mediated resistance to most of the beta-lactam antibiotics. It is also not unusual to find a single isolate that expresses multiple beta-lactamase enzymes, further complicating the treatment options. Thus the present study was designed to investig...

Detection of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase genes in clinical isolates by using multiplex PCR.

Therapeutic options for infections caused by gram-negative organisms expressing plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases are limited because these organisms are usually resistant to all the beta-lactam antibiotics, except for cefepime, cefpirome, and the carbapenems. These organisms are a major concern in nosocomial infections and should therefore be monitored in surveillance studies. Six families...

Emergence of ertapenem resistance in an Escherichia coli clinical isolate producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase AmpC.

Escherichia coli isolate MEV, responsible for a bloodstream infection, was resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins, and ertapenem. Molecular and biochemical characterization revealed the production of a novel, chromosome-borne, extended-spectrum AmpC (ESAC) β-lactamase with a Ser-282 duplication and increased carbapenemase activity. This study demonstrates for the first time that chromosome-bo...

Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Plasmid-mediated Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Genes (balaTEM, blaCTX and blASHV) Among Urinary Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates in Mashhad, Iran

Objective(s) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria have an important role in nosocomial infections. Due to the limited availability of information about the molecular epidemiology of ESBL producing bacteria in Mashhad, we decided to investigate about TEM, CTX and SHV ESBLs among urinary Escherichia coli isolates in Mashhad, a city in northeast Iran. Materials and Methods ...
