Drug resistance analysis of Myroides odoratimimus producing MUS-1 carbapenemase / 临床检验杂志

Objective@#To investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of Myroides odoratimimus producing MUS-1 carbapenemase. @*Methods@#A strain of gram-negative bacterium isolated from the urine sample of one patient hospitalized in the oncology department of Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University was identified by the Vitek 2 automatic microbial analyzer and 16S RNA sequencing, and its bla MUS-1 gene was detected with PCR. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial drugs were determined by the broth dilution method. @*Results@#One strain of MUS-1 carbapenemase producing Myroides odoratimimus was found. The drug susceptibility test showed that it was resistant to most of antibiotics conventionally used, but sensitive to minocycline and meropenem, the MIC of imipenem was 8 μg/mL, which was judged as intermediate. @*Conclusion@#The bla MUS-1 gene may be the cause leading Myroides odoratimimus to resistant carbapenems drugs.

Study of carbapenem-resistant genes in a strain of Myroides odoratimimus and clinical therapy for its infection / 中华临床感染病杂志

Objective To study carbapenem-resistant genes in a Myroides odoratimimus strain and clinical therapy.Methods A strain of Myroides odoratimimus was isolated from nephrostomy drainage fluid of a patient with urinary tract infection in Xinhua Hospital in May 2013.MicroflexTM MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rDNA sequencing were performed for strain identification.Vitek-2 Compact combined with E-test method was used for antibiotic susceptibility test.Modified Hodge test and imipenem/imipenem-inhibitor (IP/IPI)E-test were performed for drug-resistant phenotype screening.Carbapenemase genes blaMUS-1,blaVIM-1,blaVIM-2,blaIMP-1,blaIMP-2,blaNDM-1,blaOXA-48 and blaGESwere amplified by PCR,and the positive products were sequenced and analyzed.Results The isolated strain was identified as Myroides odoratimimus.The strain was resistant to 17 antibacterial agents,and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of imipenem was ≥ 16 μg/mL,while it was sensitive to minocycline (MIC =0.38 μg/mL) and intermediate to meropenem (MIC =6 μg/mL).It was negative in modified Hodge test but positive in IP/IPI E-test (IP/IPI≥ 8).blaMUS-1 gene was detected by PCR,and further confirmed by sequencing.Meropenem combined with minocycline was effective for the patient.Conclusion Carbapenem-resistance in this Myroides odoratimimus strain may be related to blaMUS-1 gene,and appropriate therapy for its infection should be based on the result of antibiotic susceptibility test.
