Drug-resistance and Genotyping of Klebsiella pneumoniae Producing ESBLs and AmpC Beta-lactamases 2006 to 2007 / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug resistance and the status of producing ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamases of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from 2006 to 2007 in local district.METHODS From 2006 to 2007,110 strains of K.pneumoniae insensitive to cefoxitin were collected.The sensitiveness to 16 antibiotics were tested by K-B method and microdilution method.Genes of TEM,SHV,GES,PER,CTX-M-1,CTX-M-2,CTX-M-3,DHA and MIR-1/ACT-1 were tested by PCR.The gene transfer was detected by conjugation test.RESULTS The resistance rate of 110 K.pneumoniae strains to meropenem,imipenem,piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam,ceftazidime and cefepime was 0-49.9%.The resistance rate to other antibiotics was 80-100%.And ESBLs production was the main result.Genes of ESBLs were CTX-M and SHV.Genes of AmpC beta-lactamases were ACT and DHA.They all could transfer the drug-resistance from plasmid to receptor bacteria.CONCLUSIONS Co-existing of ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamases is the main reason of multi-drug resistance that K.pneumoniae.Transferring of drug-resistance gene leads to the spreading of drug-resistance.The drug-resistance rate of K.pneumoniae decreased during the last two years.
