?-Lactamase and Genetic Markers of Transposon and Integron in Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution of ?-lactamase and drug resistant gene mediated by transposon and integron in continuous isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.METHODS The antibiotics susceptibility was tested by K-B method;the ?-lactamase and the outer membrane protein gene oprD2 were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR);the genotype of merA encoding Tn21/Tn501 type trandsposon and qacE?1-suI1 encoding Ⅰ type integron was detected by PCR and the positive genes were amplified and sequenced by PCR fluorescence spectrophotometry.RESULTS The TEM type,OXA-2,OXA-10 and CARB of ?-lactamase genes had been detected in 20 strains of P.aeruginosa,but plasmid-mediated ampC enzyme and metallo-?-lactamase had not been detected,the gene oprD2 encoding porins was not detected.The gene merA was detected in 7 strains(35.0%),and the qacE?-sul1 had been detected in 10 strains(50.0%).The gene OXA-2 in the isolate No.2 was sequenced,and translated into amino acid,and the translated amino acid sequence was compared with GenBank,the results indicated that amino acid sequence of OXA in the isolate No.2 was simlar to that in GenBank,exsited 2 different amino acid sequences,so was confirmed as a new subtype.CONCLUSIONS Resistance to ?-lactamase compounds in P.aeruginosa of our hospital is related to TEM,OXA and CARB genes,and integron and transposon contribute to the drug resistance and multidrug resistance in P.aeruginosa.
