Aminoglycosides Modifying Enzyme Genes of Acinetobacter baumannii in Burn Unit / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To study the aminoglycosides modifying enzyme genes and detect resistance of the Acinetobacter baumannii in burn unit.METHODS The susceptibility of the A.baumannii strains to 11 antibiotics were tested by K-B method.The aminoglycosides modifying enzyme genes were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS The resistance rate to antibacterials was as followsto TZP 61.85%,SCF 23.69%,CAZ 64.48%,FEP 63.17%,IPM 63.17%,AK 56.58%,and to CIP 73.69%.In 76 strains of A.baumannii,48 strains(63.16%) were with aac(3)-Ⅰ,39(51.32%) with aac(6′)-Ⅰ,and 46(60.53%) with ant(3″)-Ⅰ,others were negative.The total test rate of aminoglycosides modifying enzyme gene was 63.16%.CONCLUSIONS There are not only multi-drug-resistance but also 63.16% aminoglycosides modifying enzyme genes of the A.baumannii isolated from burn unit.
