چکیده
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains a leading cause of severe wound infection and mortality in burn patients. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of Ambler class A and D β-lactamases among P. aeruginosa isolated from infected burn injuries in Tehran, Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS Bacteriological samples were taken from burn patients with clinical symptoms of burn infection. Fifty Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase- positive bacilli, grown at 42ºC and production of pigment on Mueller-Hinton agar were identified as P. aeruginosa. All of the 50 isolates were examined for antibiotic susceptibility via disk diffusion method, and production of Ambler class A and and D β-lactamases by phenotypic screening test. The presence of Ambler class A and D β-lactamases was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction technique. RESULTS The results showed that the majority of isolates (88%) were multi-drug resistant. Out of these 50 imipenem resistant isolates, 7 (14%), 18 (36%), 18 (36%) and 18 (36%) strains were positive for bla PER , bla OXA-10 , bla TEM and bla SHV genes alone or in combination, respectively. None of the isolates possessed bla KPC or bla GES genes. CONCLUSIONS The current study highlights that the high level of resistance to many antibacterial agents and a gradual increase in the degree of PER, OXA-10, SHV and TEM ESBLs among the majority of imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with burn infection is an enormous threat in burn centers in Iran.

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. Evidence suggests that the incidence of enzyme-producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Metalo Beta Lactamases (MBL) is a major problem in the treatment of infections caused by this organism. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of class I and II integrons among metalobetalactamase pro...

Production of Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is a common mechanism of resistance in multidrug- Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but the frequency of different ESBLs may vary significantly in different parts of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of OXA-2/OXA-10 type ESBLs and class 1 integron among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Ta...

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...

Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important causative agents both in form of hospital acquired and community-acquired infections. This bacterium is one of the most prevalent pathogens that is isolated from hospitals and is associated with high mortality rates. The uprising trend of multi drug resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae has limited the treatment optio...
