Acquisition of a transposon encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamase SHV-12 by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates during the clinical course of a burn patient.

چکیده
Three of seven clonally related Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a burn patient produced the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) SHV-12. Its gene was flanked by two IS26 elements with a large transposon (>24 kb). The transposon also contained at least five IS26 elements and a gene encoding the amikacin resistance determinant aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [aac(6')-Ib]. It was inserted into the gene PA5317 in the P. aeruginosa chromosome.

Background and Objective: Burn wound infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting β-lactam antibiotic resistance are one of the greatest challenges of antimicrobial treatment. In this context, P. aeruginosa strains harboring resistance mechanisms, such as production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases have the highest clinical impact no the management of burn wound infections. The ai...

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...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Resistance to β -lactam antibiotics may arise from over expression of the naturally occurring AmpC cephalosporinases or acquired extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). The aim of...
