emerging carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates carrying blaimp among burn patients in isfahan, iran

چکیده
conclusions the results of this study show that the rate of p. aeruginosa-caused burn wound infections was very high, and many of the isolates were resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials. such extensive resistance to antimicrobial classes is important because few treatment options remain for patients with burn wound infections. blaimp-producing p. aeruginosa isolates are a rising threat in burn-care units, and should be controlled by conducting infection-control assessments. background metallo-β-lactamase (mbl)-producing pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant pathogen in burn patients. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant p. aeruginosa isolates, including those resistant to imipenemase (imp), in a burn unit in isfahan, iran. patients and methods one hundred and fifty p. aeruginosa isolates from burn patients were tested for antibiotic susceptibility by the disc diffusion method in accordance with clsi guidelines. production of mbl was identified with the edta disk method. dna was purified from the mbl-positive isolates, and detection of the blaimp gene was performed with pcr. results fifty-seven out of 150 (38%) isolates were multi-drug resistant (mdr), and 93 (62%) were extensively-drug resistant (xdr). among all isolates, the resistance rate to ciprofloxacin, tobramycin, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, ceftazidime, and cefepime was higher than 90%, while the resistance rates to piperacillin/tazobactam and aztreonam were 70.7% and 86%, respectively. colistin and polymyxin b remained the most effective studied antibiotics. all of the imipenem-resistant p. aeruginosa isolates were mbl-positive, and 107 out of 144 (74.3%) of the mbl isolates were positive for the blaimp gene.

متن کاملCarbapenem and Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran
Introduction: The major resistance mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to fluoroquinolones and carbapenems are associated with the mutations in the genes gyrA and oprD encoding type II topoisomerases (DNA gyrase) and OprD porin, respectively. Method: In this cross-sectional study, sixty five clinical samples were collected from patients hospitalized in Al-Zahra Hospital of Isfahan, Iran. Susce...

Dear editor, Treatment of infection caused by multidrugresistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains due to simultaneously resistance to different class of antibiotics is a major burn unit concern worldwide [1]. Multidrug-resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa (MDR-P. aeruginosa) are non-susceptible to at least three antibiotics belonged to different classes especially carbapenems...
