ABSTRACT

Clinical strains of Enterobacter were isolated from Cumana's Central Hospital in Venezuela, and classified as E. cloacae (21), E. aerogenes (7), E. intermedium (1), E. sakazakii (1) and three unclassified. The strains showed high levels of resistance, especially to SXT (58.1%), CRO (48.8%), CAZ (46.6%), PIP (46.4%), CIP (45.2%) and ATM (43.3%). This is the first report for South America of blaVIM-2 in two E. cloacae and one Enterobacter sp., which also showed multiple mechanisms of resistance. Both E. cloacae showed blaTEM-1, but only one showed blaCTX-M-15 gene, while no blaSHV was detected.


Cepas clínicas de Enterobacter fueron aisladas del Hospital central de Cumaná en Venezuela, y se clasificaron como E. cloacae (21), E. aerogenes (7), E. intermedium (1), E. sakazakii (1) y 3 sin clasificar. Las cepas mostraron altos niveles de resistencia, especialmente a SXT (58.1%), CRO (48.8%), CAZ (46.6%), PIP (46.4%), CIP (45.2%) and ATM (43.3%). Este es el primer reporte de América del Sur de blaVIM-2 en dos cepas de E. cloacae y una de Enterobacter sp., las cuales también mostraron múltiples mecanismos de resistencia. Ambas especies de E. cloacae mostraron genes blaTEM-1, pero solo una mostro el gen blaCTX-M-15, mientras que blaSHV no fue detectado.
