Resistance Analysis and Detection of Resistant Genes in Acinetobacter baumannii / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance and the resistant mechanism of the imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(IRAb) strains isolated from inpatients to guide for the clinical treatment and prevention.METHODS VITEK2-compact system was used to identify 77 IRAb strains,and to detect their susceptibility to antibiotics.K-B susceptibility testing was used to detect their susceptibility to amikacin and minocycline.PCR was carried out to detect their related genes.RESULTS The 77 isolated strains were multidrug-resistant.The rate of resistance to cephalosporins and quinolones was respectively higher than to amikacin whose sensitivity came to 90%;PCR confirmed OXA-23 was 100% related with IRAbs,OXA-51 was the same.CONCLUSIONS Most of IRAb were MDRAb.The mechanism of A.baumannii(ABA) to imipenem is closely related with OXA-23,K-B susceptibility test is more accurate and minocycline could be used for IRAbs.
