Nosocomial Infections with IMP-19−Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Linked to Contaminated Sinks, France

چکیده
We isolated IMP-19-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 7 patients with nosocomial infections linked to contaminated sinks in France. We showed that blaIMP-19 was located on various class 1 integrons among 8 species of gram-negative bacilli detected in sinks: P. aeruginosa, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, A. aegrifaciens, P. putida, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, P. mendocina, Comamonas testosteroni, and Sphingomonas sp.

Prevalence of blaOxacillinase-23 and blaOxacillinase-24/40 carbapenemase genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with nosocomial and non-nosocomial infections in West of Iran
Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) causes serious nosocomial and non-nosocomial infections. blaOxacillinases (OXA)-23 and blaOXA24/40 provide resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. The aim of this study was assessment of blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-24/40 in P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with nosocomial and non-nosocomial infections. Me...
متن کاملPrevalence of IMP and VIM Metallo-Beta-Lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Clinical and Environmental Specimens in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) of Rasht Hospitals, Iran
Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections, and antibiotic resistance of this pathogen is an important concern in treating such infections. The current work was conducted to investigate the prevalence of bla-IMP, and bla-VIM metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) among clinical and environmental P. aeruginosa isolates obtained from ICUs of different hospita...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an increasing prevalent opportunistic human pathogen most common gram-negative bacteria found in nosocomial infections. Despite improvements in antibiotic therapy, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to a number of antimicrobial agents. [1] It is mainly present as a saprophyte in warm moist conditions in the environment including sinks, drains, respirator...
متن کاملMolecular detection of metallo-β-lactamase genes, blaIMP-1, blaVIM-2 and blaSPM-1 in imipenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical specimens in teaching hospitals of Ahvaz, Iran
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious cause of nosocomial infections. The main purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence rate of imipenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying metallo-ß-lactamase (MBL) genes. MATERIAL AND METHODS 236 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were collected from teaching hospitals of Ahvaz University of Medical ...
متن کاملNosocomial outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a new bla(IMP) allele, bla(IMP-7).
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from an outbreak in Canada were highly resistant to carbapenems and ceftazidime but not piperacillin. They produced a novel integron-associated metallo-beta-lactamase, designated IMP-7, with 91% identity to IMP-1. bla(IMP-7) was not detected with standard bla(IMP)-specific primers, owing to mismatches in the forward primer.
