abstract

conclusions the rapid dissemination of non clonal multi-resistant ctx-m-1 producing e. coli isolates approved the need for further studies in our medical centers. results a total of 140(70%) non-duplicate esbl positive e. coli were determined. imipenem and amikacin were effective against 100% and 85% of all tested isolates respectively. co-resistance of esbl positive isolates to erythromycin, tetracycline, co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin were found in 93%, 75%, 63% and 43% of the strains, respectively. the rate of cefotaxime and ceftazidime resistant isolates dramatically decreased from 72% to 8.5% and 39% to 4.5% respectively, in the presence of clavulanic acid. eighty nine (44.5%) e. coli isolates carried the blactx-m-1 group alleles. the levels of similarity of the rep-pcr fingerprints of blactx-m-1 isolates ranged from 40 to 90%. objectives to assess the frequency and genetic diversity of extended-spectrum ctx-m β -lactamases in e.coli isolates from tehran. materials and methods during 2009 - 2010, 200 non-duplicate clinical isolates of e. coli were collected from five hospitals in tehran.antibacterial susceptibility was determined using disk diffusion and mic methods. esbl production was confirmed by combined disk and mic. ctx-m encoding genes were identified by pcr, and blactx-m -carrying isolates were genotyped by rep-pcr. background the emerge of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls)-producing escherichia coli caused problems in antibiotic treatments. the more than 50 variants of ctx-m type esbls enzymes are available worldwide. rapid and discriminative typing methods are essential for epidemiological analysis of clinical ctx-m-producing isolates.

Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Plasmid-mediated Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Genes (balaTEM, blaCTX and blASHV) Among Urinary Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates in Mashhad, Iran

Objective(s) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria have an important role in nosocomial infections. Due to the limited availability of information about the molecular epidemiology of ESBL producing bacteria in Mashhad, we decided to investigate about TEM, CTX and SHV ESBLs among urinary Escherichia coli isolates in Mashhad, a city in northeast Iran. Materials and Methods ...

Identification of extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes in Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infection

Introduction: Recentlly, resistance to antibiotics has increased and antibiotic-resistant strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have emerged among Enterobacteriaceae, mainly in Escherichia coli (E. coli). In this study we aimed to determine phenotypic and genotypic ESBL production in isolated E. coli from women with urinary tract infection (UTI). Materials and Methods: In...

Prevalence of blaCTX-M1, blaCTX-M14 and blaCTX-M15 Genes among Escherichia ColiIsolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Outpatients, Kermanshah City, Iran

Background and Aims: The rate of urinary tract infection caused by the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M genes in the E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection (UTI) in outpatients. Methods: 240 E. coli bacteria were isolated from the outpatients’ urine samples in the Kerma...

Characterization of Two New CTX-M-25-Group Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Variants Identified in Escherichia coli Isolates from Israel

OBJECTIVES We characterized two new CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) variants in Escherichia coli isolates from stool samples of two elderly patients admitted at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Israel. Both patients underwent treatment with cephalosporins prior to isolation of the E. coli strains. METHODS ESBLs were detected by the double-disk synergy test and PCR-sequenc...

Prevalence of blaCTX-M Gene among Extended- Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates in Iran: A Meta-Analysis

Background: CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are the most prevalent ESBLs in bacterial members of Enterobacteriaceae family including Klebsiella pneumoniae. The global spread of CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae is a major concern in most countries including Iran. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the relative frequency (RF) of blaCTX-M gene among ESBLs-producing K. pn...
