prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in nosocomial and community-acquired urinary tract infections

چکیده
background klebsiella pneumoniae is a family member of enterobacteriaceae. isolates of k. pneumoniae produce enzymes that cause decomposition of third generation cephalosporins. these enzymes are known as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl). resistance of k. pneumoniae to beta-lactamase antibiotics is commonly mediated by beta-lactamase genes. objectives the aim of this study was to identify the esbl produced by k. pneumoniae isolates that cause community-acquired and nosocomial urinary tract infections within a one-year period (2013 to 2014) in kashani and hajar university hospitals of shahrekord, iran. patients and methods from 2013 to 2014, 150 strains of k. pneumoniae isolate from two different populations with nosocomial and community-acquired infections were collected. the strains were then investigated by double disk synergism and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr). results the study population of 150 patients with nosocomial and community-acquired infections were divided to two groups of 75 each. we found that 48 of the k. pneumoniae isolates in the patients with nosocomial infection and 39 isolates in those with community-acquired infections produced esbl. the prevalence of tem1, shv1 and veb1 in esbl-producing isolates in nosocomial patients was 24%, 29.3% and 10.6%, and in community-acquired patients, 17.3%, 22.7% and 8%, respectively. conclusions the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumoniae isolate is of great concern; therefore, continuous investigation seems essential to monitor esbl-producing bacteria in patients with nosocomial and community-acquired infections.

متن کاملCommunity-acquired urinary tract infections by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Gram negative bacteria
Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens causing community acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is increasing worldwide. Severity and endemicity persists despite of wide spread availability of drugs. Knowledge of the aetiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens is important in order to determine the best empiric treatment option. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL...

Abstract Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing a variety of infections including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, septicemia, wound infections and infections in the intensive care units. Since the ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are increasingly causing urinary tract infections, we aim to assess antibiotic resistance pat...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae in community-acquired urinary tract infections in São Luís, Brazil
The number of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in community-acquired urinary tract infections worldwide is probably underestimated because of the technical difficulties encountered with their detection. In this study, out of 5,672 urine samples analyzed, 916 were positive for uropathogens, 472 of them being enterobacteria of which 7.6% produced β-lactamases. Analysis of the isolated from 36 pa...
