ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Ambler class A extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacter cloacae isolates in a university hospital in Busan, Korea.METHODS:
Non-duplicated clinical isolates of E.cloacae from patients admitted in Kosin University Gospel Hospital were collected during the period from January through September, 2003. ESBL-production was examined by the double-disk synergy test (DDST) and the transferability of cefotaxime-resistance by conjugation. MICs of beta-lactam antibiotics were determined by the agar dilution method and Ambler class A ESBL genes were searched by PCR amplification. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR was performed to investigate epidemiological relationships among bla CTX-M-9 gene-carrying E.cloacae isolates.RESULTS:
Antimicrobial resistance rates of E.cloacae isolates (n=148) to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam were 50.0%, 29.6%, and 48.0%, respectively. Among 50 E.cloacae isolates intermediate or resistant to more than one expanded-spectrum beta-lactam agent, 41 (27.7%) showed positive results in DDST; of these 41 isolates, 1 was found to carry bla TEM-52 gene, 16 carried bla SHV-12 gene, 4 bla CTX-M-9 gene, and 19 both bla SHV-12 and bla CTX-M-9 genes. The 23 E.cloacae isolates carrying bla CTX-M-9 gene showed 9 different profiles by ERIC PCR.CONCLUSION:
ESBL-producing E.cloacae was not uncommon in a university hospital in Busan, Korea. The commonest types of ESBLs produced by E.cloacae isolates were SHV-12 and CTX-M-9. CTX-M-9 ESBL-producing E.cloacae isolates showed diverse ERIC-PCR profiles, indicating that they were not originated from a common source.
