Detection of Metallo-β-Lactamases (MBLs) Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates in Tehran Hospitals, Iran
Introduction: The strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are known as an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections in humans and animals. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are the most significant factors of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics in these bacteria. This study was designed to identify the MBLs producing P. aeruginosa isolates in three hospitals of Tehran, Iran. Methods: Tota...
متن کاملDetection of Metallo-Beta Lactamases Among Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
BACKGROUND Carbapenems are important drugs used for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, however metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) are able to efficiently hydrolyze these classes of drugs. Immediate detection of the MBL-producing P. aeruginosa is necessary in order to accurately treat infections caused by this organism. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of MBL producing P. aerugi...
متن کاملPhenotypic Detection Of Metallo-beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated From Burned Patients
Background and Objective: Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-mediated resistance is an emerging threat in hospital isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is not enough information from Iran regarding the prevalence and the screening methods for such enzymes. The present study was undertaken to detect Metallo betalactamase in strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burned patien...
متن کاملdetection of metallo-beta lactamases among carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa
conclusions epidemiological and regional evaluation of mbl-producing p. aeruginosa through simple and inexpensive methods should be considered for effective treatment of carbapenem-resistant p. aeruginosa infections. results amongst all the p. aeruginosa isolates, 58.7% were resistant to imipenem while 31.8%, 13.5% and 74.4% were resistant to meropenem, doripenem and ertapenem, respectively. am...
متن کاملCo Existence of Ampc and Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases Resistance in Metallo Beta Lactamases Producing Strains of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the commonest multi drug resistant bacteria causing nosocomial infection and Metallo-Beta-Lactamase production is one of the important reasons. The following study was conducted to determine incidence of MBL producing P.aeruginosa. and co existence of AmpC and ESBL production. Screening for MBL was done using imipenem disk and all the isolates found resistant we...
