Detection of Metallo-β-Lactamases and Integrasesin from Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolates / 现代检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the situation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains carrying metallo-β-lactamases and inte-grases in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.Methods The phenotype of metallo-β-lactamases were detected by modified Hodge test,double-disc synergy and combination paper method,respectvily.PCR method was used to detecte metallo-β-lactamases genotypes and the integrationⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ.The PCR products of the whole length bla-IMP gene were purified,sequenced and analyzed by Blast.Results Among 62 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains,metallo-β-lactamases phenotype of 3 by modified hodge test,4 by double-disc synergy test,4 by combination paper method and were all positive 4 of IMP-1 type metallo-β-lactamases of Pseudomonasaeruginosa strains (10%,4/40)were positives by PCR.Inte-grase Ⅰ of 16(40 %,16/40)strains were positives by PCR method in IMP-resistant Pseudomonasaeruginosa,and integraseⅠ of 22.73 %(5/22)were positives in IMP-sensitive Pseudomonasaeruginosa.No other metallo-β-lactamases,integraseⅡandⅢ were detected in this study.Conclusion IMP-type metallo-β-lactamase existed in IMP-resistant Pseudomonasaerugi-nosa isolates of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.Most strains carried integraseⅠ,and other re-sistance mechanisms may be associated with multi-drug resistance,so it is important to prevent the Pseudomonasaeruginosa strains which carried metallo-β-lactamases and integrons widely spread in the hospital.
