ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution of the CTX-M- extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs) producing Esche- richia coli(ECO) and the molecular mechanism of dissemination. Methods To analyze the drug resistance of the 43 isolates, Kirby-Bauer susceptibility method was used. Multiple polymeraso chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the gene of ESBLs, AmpC, full length of blaCTX-M-like gene, insertion sequence (IS) ISEcp1B, IS903 , IS26 and integron I. NEST-PCR was used to detect if the beta-lactamase gene lo- cated in the integron I. The product of full length of bla-CTX-M like gone amplified by PCR was sequenced. Results Susceptibility test showed the resistance from high to low in turn was Ampicillin (97.68%), Coftriaxone (67.44 % ), piperacillin(65.12 % ), Cefotaxime (62.79 % ) ,Coftasidime(58.14% ), Cofasolin(55.81% ), Cofepime (53.49%), Cefexitin(51.16%), ciprofloxacin (44. 19% ), Aztreo- nam(41.86% ), Cefoperasone/Sulbactam ( 20.93% ), Amikacin (0% ), Imipenem (0% ), respectively. ECO was susceptive to Imipenem. CTX-M-G1 was found in 25 strains of ECO , TEM, SHV, CTX-M-G1, ISEcp1B, and integron I were found in the nine isolates. IS903 were found in ECO 3 and 5, and IS26 was found in ECO 3. In ECO 3 and 5, blaCTX-M-like was flanked upstream by ISEcp1B element that provided -35 and -10 promoter sequences and a right inverted repeat (IRR) recognized by transposase, downstream by IS903 provided an inverted re- peat, ISEcp1 B and IS903 composed the complex transpeson. Conclusion ISEcplB may drive the expression and dissemination of blaCTX-M-like gene at a high level.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the phenotypical and genotypical characteristics of the ?-lactamase in the 302 strains of Gram-negative bacilli,and assess the characteristics of the drug resistance.METHODS The phenotypes of ?-lactamase were detected in the Gram-negative bacilli by disc diffusion screen test,which were further ascertained by disc diffusion confirmatory test,a cefoxitin three dimensional test,and metallo ?-lactamases double-disc synergy test.The ?-lactamases were detected by multiple PCR amplification,then DNA product was sequenced.Antibiotics susceptibility was detected by K-B method.RESULTS Among the clinical Gram-negative isolates,a total of 26.49%(80/302)strains′ ?-lactamases phenotypes were positive,ESBLs,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme and MBL,and AmpC enzyme producing strains were found in 16.56%,6.62%,1.66% and 0.66%,respectively.A total of 24.83% strains′?-lactamases phenotypes were positive,strains produced ESBLs,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme and MBL,and AmpC enzyme producing strains were found in 17.55%,6.95%,0.33%,and 0.33%,respectively.Drug-sensitivity test showed multi-resistant Gram-negative isolates were more sensitive to amikacin(18.75%),and heavier resistant to ampicillin(97.50%).CONCLUSIONS ?-Lactamase producing Gram-negative bacilli are resistant to multi-antibiotics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance and molecular epidemiology character of ?-lactamase producers among clinical isolates of Citrobacter freundii.Methods Four strains of Citrobacter freundii were detected by K-B susceptibility method and three-dimensional test.The ?-lactamase gene was identified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and sequencing.Results The No.29 strain of Citrobacter friundii was multiple-drug-resistant and proved to produce CMY,DHA type AmpC,TEM and SHV type of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs).The sequencing of corresponding DNA revealed 97% identities of the CMY-2 amino acid sequence.It was a new type of cephalosporinase.Conclusion A novel strain of Citrobacter friundii with CMY type AmpC,DHA type AmpC,TEM and SHV type ESBLs has been found in southern China and it is multiple-drug-resistant.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of interleukin- 1?(IL-1?)on the biological activity of human periodontal ligament(PDL) cells in vitro. Methods Human PDL cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing IL-1?(0.1,0.5,1,5 and 10ng/ml) for 1,2,3,4 and 5 days, respectively. The proliferation of PDL cells was measured by MTT assay at the first, second, third, fourth and fifth days after IL-1? treatment, respectively. Fibronectin level in the medium was determined by ELISA at the fourth days after 10ng/ml IL-1? treatment, and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity was measured by enzyme kinetic method. Results IL-1? inhibited the growth of human PDL cells in a dose-dependent manner, and its lowest effective concentration was 1ng/ml(P
