ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The main mechanism of quinolone resistance in Klebsiella (K) pneumoniae is caused by mutation of porin-related proteins and efflux pumps. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ciprofloxacin-resistant K pneumoniae in burns patients and to understand the role of the AcrAB multidrug efflux system on minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ciprofloxacin. For this reason, 52 K pneumoniae samples were collected from burns patients and evaluated for the mechanism of ciprofloxacin resistance. The results demonstrated that 40 isolates of K pneumoniae were ciprofloxacin-resistant and 35 showed the mutation on gyrA locus. By inhibition of the efflux system, the MIC yield showed a significant decrease. Therefore, it could be concluded that the high rate of mutation on the gyrA locus in combination with quinolone resistance was responsible for ciprofloxacin resistance and by inhibition of AcrA, the resistance rate showed a significant decrease in K pneumoniae isolated from burns patients.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN El principal mecanismo de resistencia a la quinolona en las Klebsiella (K) Pneumoniae tiene como causa la mutación de las porinas y las bombas de eflujo. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo investigar la prevalencia de las K pneumoniae resistentes a la ciprofloxacina en pacientes con quemaduras, así como entender el papel del sistema de eflujo multidroga AcrAB en la concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) de la ciprofloxacina. Por esta razón, se recogieron 52 muestras de K pneumoniae de pacientes con quemaduras, a fin de evaluar el mecanismo de resistencia a la ciprofloxacina. Los resultados mostraron que 40 aislados de K pneumoniae eran resistentes a la ciprofloxacina y 35 mostraron la mutación en el locus gyrA. Con la inhibición del sistema de eflujo, el rendimiento de CIM tuvo una disminución significativa. Por lo tanto, se pudo concluir que la alta tasa de mutación en el locus gyrA en combinación con la resistencia a la quinolona era responsable de la resistencia a la ciprofloxacina, y por la inhibición de AcrA, la tasa de resistencia mostró una disminución significativa en las K pneumoniae aisladas de los pacientes con quemaduras.
