چکیده
conclusions this study demonstrated the co-existence of rmtc and blandm-1 genes for the first time in turkey. the spread of this resistant type should be monitored and limited through molecular surveillance. results twenty k. pneumoniae strains showed resistance to amikacin, and 40 were resistant to gentamicin. the mic value was found to be > 512 µg/ml in five amikacin-resistant strains and > 128 µg/ml in 10 gentamicin-resistant isolates. the rmtc gene, a type of 16s rrna methyltransferase, was amplified in four isolates (mic amikacin: > 512 µg/ml, gentamicin: > 128 µg/ml). of these four isolates, three had the blandm-1 gene and all contained at least one esbl gene. objectives we aimed to investigate the co-existence of 16s rrna methyltransferase and beta-lactamase genes in multidrug resistant (mdr) klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical samples. methods we determined the molecular mechanisms of aminoglycoside resistance and its relationship with resistance to carbapenem and beta-lactam group antibiotics in 40 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl)-positive carbapenem- and aminoglycoside-resistant k. pneumoniae strains. multidrug resistant k. pneumoniae was isolated from various clinical samples in the faculty of medicine of cukurova university, turkey. first, the resistance of aminoglycoside and beta-lactam antibiotics was phenotypically investigated using the kirby-bauer disk diffusion test, double disk synergy test, and modified hodge test. the mic values of aminoglycoside were determined using the agar dilution method. polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the carbapenemases, esbl, and 16s rrna methyltransferase genes. the results were confirmed by a sequence analysis. background the resistance of aminoglycosides in strains that produce beta-lactamase can be developed through the multidrug resistant encoding genes carried by common plasmids. recently, the association between 16s rrna methyltransferase resistance and beta-lactamase enzymes carried by the same plasmids has drawn increased attention from researchers, particularly the association in aminoglycoside-resistant strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of ≥ 256 µg/ml.

متن کاملThe First Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate Co-Producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 in Turkey
Dear Editor Resistance to broad-spectrum antimicrobials is a well-known challenge in treating Enterobacteriaceae infection worldwide. Carbapenems are an important class of antimicrobials used in treatment against these organisms, although increasing resistance to carbapenems has been reported among Enterobacteriaceae [1]. The production of OXA-48 was first described in Klebsiella pneumoniae iso...
متن کاملNDM-1- and OXA-163-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Cairo, Egypt, 2012.
Here we describe carbapenem resistance determinants in two Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates recovered from two hospitalised patients in the same intensive care unit of a cancer hospital in Cairo, Egypt. PCR and sequencing were used to detect and characterise β-lactamase genes. Clonal relationships between the isolates were analysed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequenc...

Seven carbapenem-resistant NDM-1-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were recovered from patients hospitalized between 2007 and 2009 in different wards at a referral and tertiary care center in Nairobi. Most of the isolates were obtained from urine. All isolates carried the bla(NDM-1) carbapenemase gene previously reported from India, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. These isolates were cl...
