Prevalence and spread of pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in patients with hematological malignancies.

چکیده
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in patients with acute leukemias, to assess their clinical significance, and to define the sources and ways of their spread using genetic analysis. Thirty-four patients were investigated during the observed period. Twenty-one strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 35 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from patient samples. In the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 47.6% of strains were identified as pathogens and caused infection. By contrast, only 4 isolates (11.4%) of Klebsiella pneumoniae could be regarded as etiological agents of bacterial infection. Based on the obtained results, Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are assumed to be of mostly endogenous origin. In the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, the proportion of identical strains detected in various patients was higher and exogenous sources were more significant. In addition, our results confirmed the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to survive on a particular site in the hospital for a longer time.

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...

Background and Aims: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infections that causes pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), meningitis, septicemia and diarrhea. The emergence and spread of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae often cause failure in the treatment of infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carbapenemase ...

Introduction: In recent years, antibiotic resistance has been on the rise, leading to limited ways to control nosocomial infections (especially surgical site infections) and the right treatment options. The main purpose of this study was the pattern of antibiotic resistance and the frequency of plasmid-dependent quinolone resistance (qnr) genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Kl...

Background: Klebsiella species are common causes of nosocomial, ulcers, blood and urinary tract infections, and also acquired pneumonia from the hospital and various intra-abdominal infections. Bacterial resistance mechanisms against antibiotics are different, but one of these resistance mechanisms, which is very problematic, is the production of β-lactamase enzymes in bacteria. The aim of this...
