Characterization of DIM-1, an integron-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase from a Pseudomonas stutzeri clinical isolate in the Netherlands.

چکیده
A carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas stutzeri strain isolated from a Dutch patient was analyzed in detail. This isolate produced a metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) whose gene, with 43.5% GC content, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. beta-Lactamase DIM-1 (for Dutch imipenemase) was weakly related to other Ambler class B beta-lactamases, sharing <52% amino acid identity with the most closely related MBL, GIM-1, and 45% identity with IMP-type MBLs. The beta-Lactamase DIM-1 significantly hydrolyzed broad-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems and spared aztreonam. This MBL gene was embedded in a class 1 integron containing two other gene cassettes, encoding resistance to aminoglycosides and disinfectants, that was located on a 70-kb plasmid.

Cloning and characterization of blaVIM, a new integron-borne metallo-beta-lactamase gene from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate.
Production of a metallo-beta-lactamase activity was detected in a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate (isolate VR-143/97) from an Italian inpatient at the Verona University Hospital (northern Italy). The metallo-beta-lactamase determinant was isolated from a genomic library of VR-143/97, constructed in an Escherichia coli plasmid vector, by screening for clones with red...

Background: Infectious by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has spread worldwide and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBL) are being reported with increasing frequency. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and distribution of blaVIM and blaIMP genes in P. aeruginosa isolates from Zanjan Province of Iran. Methods: A total of 70 P. aeruginosa isolates were identified from patients ...

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...
متن کاملIsolation of an integron-borne blaVIM-4 type metallo-beta-lactamase gene from a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate in Hungary.
The first integron-borne metallo-beta-lactamase gene was isolated in Hungary. The bla(VIM-4) gene is located on a class 1 integron that also carries a novel bla(OXA)-like gene. The integron is harbored by a serotype O12 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain and shows high structural similarity to integrons isolated in Greece and Poland.

Dear Editor, Carbapenems are considered as the last resort of antibiotic for the treatment of infection but many Gram-negative organisms have developed resistance to this antibiotic through loss or alteration of outer membrane porin protein OprD, over-expression of efflux pump, hyperproduction of an AmpC-type-β-lactamase and/or carbapenemase.1 Carbapenemases are β-lactamases with catalytic effi...
