Imipenem Resistant Metallo β Lactamse Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phenotypic Expression of Methicillin Resistance in Nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important nosocomial pathogen is difÞ cult to treat because of high antimicrobial resistance.[1] The common form of resistance is mediated by lack of drug penetration and / or carbapenem hydrolyzing ß-lactamases.[2] Detection of metallo ß lactamase (MBL)producing P. aeruginosa is crucial for the optimal treatment of patients. The present study was undertaken to study Imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa for MBL production.

متن کاملThe Determination of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase Enzymes Prevalence in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa using Etest and their Antibiogram Patterns in Kermanshah, Iran
Background & Aims: One of the main causes of nosocomial infection is pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenems is one of the most important classes of antibiotics used in the treatment of infections caused by this bacteria. Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production is one of the most important mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems and their increased prevalence is a serious threat to treatment of ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Effect of Imipenem-Functionalized Fe2O3 Nanoparticles on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Producing Metallo β-lactamases
Background: Resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was medical treatment problem, especially in burnt units of hospitals. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of Fe2O3 nanoparticles alone and functionalized with imipenem on P. aeruginosa starins producing metallo b-lactamases (MBL). Materials and Methods: A disk diffusion method was used to...
متن کاملMetallo‐beta‐lactamases among imipenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a brazilian university hospital
INTRODUCTION Imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulting from metallo-β-lactamases has been reported to be an important cause of nosocomial infection and is a critical therapeutic problem worldwide, especially in the case of bacteremia. OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of metallo-β-lactamases among imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates and to compare methods of pheno...
متن کاملPhenotypic Detection Of Metallo-beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated From Burned Patients
Background and Objective: Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-mediated resistance is an emerging threat in hospital isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is not enough information from Iran regarding the prevalence and the screening methods for such enzymes. The present study was undertaken to detect Metallo betalactamase in strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burned patien...
