Résumé
Objective To investigate the drug resistance and its distribution induced by β-lactamases and class Ⅰ integrons with the deficiency of Omp genes in Enterobacter cloacaes.Methods Totally 112 strains of Enterobacter cloacaes were isolated during January 2008 and May 2011.The identification of strains was performed by using Vitek-2 Compact automatic system; and antibiotic susceptibility was determined by K-B method.Isolates of E.cloacae were screened for carbapenemases by modified Hodge test,improved three dimensional test and EDTA-meropenem synergy test.Genes encoding AmpC β-lactamase,metallo-β-1actamases (MBLs) and OXA-like β-1actamases were screened by multiple PCR.Single PCR was used to detect ISEcpl,OmpK35/36,NDM-1 and OXA-48.The variable regions of class Ⅰ integrons were amplified and sequenced.Results Among 112 isolates,6 (5.4％) demonstrated positive in the modified Hodge test and 14 ( 12.5％ ) were positive in the improved three-dimensional test.No carbapenemases gene was found.There were 29(25.9％ ) strains positive for ESBLs genes,ISEcpl was found in the upstream of all the CTX-M-type ESBLs; OXA-1 ESBLs were detected in 2 isolates.AmpC β-lactamase genes were positive in 45 (40.2％) strains,and 82.2％ (37/45) were MIR-3 type.Twenty two isolates carried class Ⅰ integrons,and four different cassettes arrangements were identified within 16 strains:9 isolates harbored aadB-aadA2 ( 1 000 bp),5 isolates with dfrAl5 (700 bp),2 isolates with aadAl ( 1 000 bp).One isolate harbored all the above gene cassettes.The deficiency of OmpK35/36 was found in all strains.Conclusion ESBL,AmpC β-lactamase and the deficiency of OmpK35/36 are correlated with the resistance to carbapenems in Enteobacter clocace,and class Ⅰ integrons may also partly account for the multidrug-resistance.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the carbapenemases and integrons in imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods One hundred and three Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from Janurary 2008 to March 2010 in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. The identification of strains and antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed by using Vitek-2 compact automatic system. Isolates of imipenem-resistant A. baumannii were screened for carbapenemases by modified Hodge test, improved threedimensional test and 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Isolates were then subjected to the multiplex PCR targeting genes encoding for OXA type carbapenemases, metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and integrases. The variable regions of integrons were amplificated and sequenced. Results Among the 103 isolates, 75 (72. 8% ) demonstrated positive in the modified Hodge test, 80 (77.7%)were positive in the improved three-dimensional test. No MBLs was found in the 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Eightyfour isolates were positive for blaOXA-51-like, blaOXA-23-like, and intI1; five were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-23-like ;eight were positive for blaOXA-51-like and int11 ;two were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-24-like ;four were only found positive for blaOXA-51-like. The blaOXA-58-like, IMP-1, VIM-2 and intI2 genes were all negative. Eighty-nine(96. 7% )of the intI1 positive strains owned the variable region. Two different cassettes arrangements were identified within class 1 integrons:81 isolates harbored aacA4-catB8-aadAI (2 300 bp) and 8 harbored aacCl-orX-orfX-orX'-aadAla (3 000 bp ) . Conclusion The presence of OXA-23 carbapenermase and class Ⅰ integrons are correlated with Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems and multi-drug resistance.
