ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To know the antibacterial activity of cefotaxime/sulbactam against 4 kinds of Gram- negative bacilli in vitro in general clinics. METHODS By double-disk test to detect the ESBLs of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and the metallo-?-lactamase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. And all the tested bacilli were tested by 14 kinds of general antibacterial drugs through K-B experiment. RESULTS Fifty one of 164 Enterobacteriaceae strains were ESBLs positive, including 23 E. coli strains with positive rate of 26.3% and 28 K. pneumoniae strains with positive rate of 35.9%. The metallo-?-lactamase was produced in 33 of 85 P. aeruginosa strains and the positive rate was 38.8%, and none in A. baumannii. The result showed cefotaxime /sulbactam was very sensitive to Enterobacteriaceae, no matter it had enzyme or not. These drugs had a special high sensitivity to ESBLs producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, and their sensitivity rate was 87.0% and 89.3%. The sensitivity rate to P. aeruginosa, produced enzyme or not was 56.7% and 92.3%. CONCLUSIONS Cefotaxime/sulbactam has a powerful antibacterial activity against 4 kinds of Gram-negative bacilli in vitro in general clinics, especially to the infection caused by ESBLs-producing or metallo-?-lactamase-producing bacteria, and can be taken as the preferred drugs.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the genotyping of ?-lactamases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes on Acinetobacter baumannii isolated in Shaoxing. METHODS Thirty nine strains of A.baumannii were isolated from hospitalized patients,and drug-resistant genes were detected by PCR. RESULTS The detection rates of ?-lactamases coding genes of TEM and OXA-23 groups were 33.3% and 51.3%,The detection rates of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes coding genes of aac(3)-Ⅰ,aac(6′)-Ⅰ and ant(3″)-Ⅰ were 64.1%,64.1% and 74.4%,respectively.The others were not found in all 39 isolates tested. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that it is more serious for A.baumannii carrying ?-lactamases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes coding genes in Shaoxing.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug-resistant genes associated ?-lactams in Pseudomonas aeruginosa(isolated) in Shaoxing,Zhejiang Province.METHODS Thirty nine strains of P.aeruginosa were isolated from(hospitalized) patients,and drug-resistant genes were detected by PCR.RESULTS The positive rates of genes of TEM, CARB,VIM and DHA were 2.6%,30.8%,23%,and 7.7%,respectively,oprD2 gene was all lack.Genes of SHV,OXA-1 groups,OXA-10 groups,PER,VEB,GES,IMP,SPM and GIM were not found in all 39 isolates tested.CONCLUSIONS There are very high positive percentages of CARB and VIM genes in P.aeruginosa(isolated) clinically.The oprD2 gene lack is the important mechanism of P.aeruginosa resistant to(imipenem.) The CARB genes in P.aeruginosa are firsted report domestically.
