چکیده

target modification and reduced drug accumulation are the main resistance mechanisms against fluoroquinolone antibiotics in pseudomonas aeruginosa. we performed a genotypic characterization of three major mex multidrug efflux pumps (mexab-oprm, mexxy-oprm and mexcd-oprj) in ciprofloxacin resistant clinical isolates of p. aeru­ginosa, collected from tehran, iran this was followed by sequencing and analyzing the type ii topoisomerases en­coding gyra, gyrb, parc , and pare genes. reverse transcription pcr (rt-pcr) and semi-quantitative rt-pcr methods were used to analyse the transcription of efflux pumps. topoisomerase mutation analysis was carried out through pcr amplification and sequencing of the quinolone resistance determining region (qrdr) of the topoiso­merases encoding genes. some 11.1% of the strains actively expressed mexcd-oprj and 15.5% hyperexpressed mexxy-oprm efflux pumps. no overexpression was detected for mexab-oprm, whereas 4.4% of strains showed simultaneous expression of mexcd-oprj and mexxy-oprm. in the sequencing results, a single point mutation in the qrdr of gyra was detected in all tested strains, where isoleucine was substituted by threonine at position 83. no mutations were detected in qrdr of gyrb, parc and pare genes. we are the first to report the genotypic analysis of ciprofloxacin mediated efflux pump resistance from iran. these findings emphasize the clinical significance of multidrug efflux pumps and topoisomerases mutations activity in conferring resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, and support the use of genotypic methods for analysis of resistance elements in p. aeruginosa in developing countries such as iran.

Detection of Multidrug Resistant Efflux Pumps in Clinical Isolates of E.coli in Tertiary Care Hospital

Fluoroquinolones are widely used in both community and hospital settings. E.coli exhibits multiple resistant mechanisms; recent studies showed that multidrug resistant (MDR) efflux mechanism is most common. The effects of MDR inhibitors of the RND efflux pumps, Reserpine 25 μg/ml and MC 207, 110 (Phe-Arg-beta-naphthylamide (PaβN), Sigma) 25 μg/ml, on the MIC of fluoroquinolones for clinical iso...

Evaluation of efflux pumps gene expression in resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in an Iranian referral hospital

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and has an intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics. Among all the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) pumps of P. aeruginosa, MexAB-OprM is the first efflux pump found to target multiple classes of antibiotics. This study was aimed to evaluate the expression level of genes expres...

Evaluation of the β-Lactamase Disk Test Method in the Detection of Extended-Spectrum-β- Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Background & Aims: The production of extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The outbreak of isolates simultaneously possessing several resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics caused a decrease in sensitivity of the confirmatory tests for ESBL. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the β-lactamase disk test method in the de...
