چکیده

conclusions the results of this study indicated that a decrease in oprd gene expression is an important mechanism of resistance in carbapenem resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from severe burn patients with secondary infection. results our study showed that 94.2% of the isolates were resistant to imipenem, 99.5% to meropenem, and all were resistant to ertapenem. the oprd gene expression among carbapenem resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates showed a 2 × 10-3 to 0.5 times decrease compared to the standard sensitive strain (p < 0.05). patients and methods one-hundred and eighty-nine clinical isolates of carbapenem resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from burn patients, were identified by microbiological methods followed by determination of antibiotic resistance pattern by the kirby-bauer procedure. the expression of oprd gene was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr). objectives this study was performed to investigate the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa in burn patients with secondary infection and also to evaluate oprd gene expression as a possible resistance mechanism to carbapenem in isolated carbapenem resistant p. aeruginosa strains. background pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen isolated from severe burn patients with secondary infection. since high resistance to most types of antibiotics is common among these bacteria, the treatment of infections caused by these agents is very difficult. loss of oprd proteins from the outer membrane of bacterial cells causes a significant decrease in the sensitivity of pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenems.

Outer Membrane Protein D Gene in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and its Role in Antibiotic Resistance

Background & Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of nosocomial infection. OprD protein is a specific protein regulating the uptake of carbapenem antibiotic. Loss of OprD is the main mechanism of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa resistance to carbapenem. In this study, the presence of OprD gene is investigated in isolated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in burn patients of Ghotboddin hospital in S...

Detection of Mutations of Antimutator Gene pfpI in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Species Isolated from Burn Patients in Tehran, Iran

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen of clinical importance, particularly in immunocompromised and burn patients. This bacterium is becoming resistant to many antibiotics via intrinsic or acquired mechanisms. Mutations in anti-mutator genes, such as pfpI, can be a potential intrinsic mechanism of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the possible effec...
