چکیده

New extended-spectrum beta-lactamase GES-11 was detected in Acinetobacter baumannii BM4674. The enzyme conferred resistance to beta-lactams, including aztreonam, and reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. The structural gene was part of a class 1 integron borne by self-transferable plasmid pIP847. GES-type beta-lactamases have not been reported previously in A. baumannii.

Carbapenem-hydrolyzing GES-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Acinetobacter baumannii isolate AP was recovered from a bronchial lavage of a patient hospitalized in Paris, France. A. baumannii AP was resistant to all β-lactams, including carbapenems, and produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) GES-14, which differs from GES-1 by two substitutions, Gly170Ser and Gly243Ala. Cloning of the bla(GES-14) gene followed by its expression in Escherichia c...

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains carrying the bla(OxA-23) and the bla(GES-11) genes in a neonatology center in Tunisia.

Multidrug-resistant and difficult-to-treat Acinetobacter baumannii may be responsible for nosocomial infections. The production of carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamases (CHDLs) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) of the GES type possessing a carbapenemase activity has been increasingly reported worldwide in A. baumannii. The aim of this study was to analyze the resistance mechanisms...

Isolation and genetic characterization of metallo-β-lactamase and carbapenamase producing strains of Acinetobacter baumannii from patients at Tehran hospitals

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Carbapenems are therapeutic choice against infections caused by gram-negative bacilli including strains of Acinetobacter baumannii. Resistance to these antibiotics is mediated by efflux pumps, porins, PBPs and ß-lactamases. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of existence of MBLs, OXAs and GES-1 betalactamase genes among clinical isolates of Acinetoba...

A plasmid-encoded class 1 integron contains GES-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates in Mexico.

Plasmid-located extended-spectrum-lactamase (ESBL) genes are mostly found in Enterobacteriaceae (6). A new class A ESBL was identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae. It was named GES-1, and it corresponds to the ceftazidime-hydrolyzing enzyme (8). GES-type ESBLs have emerged in a variety of countries, and there are 18 known variants (http://www.lahey.org/Studies/). In the present study, we investiga...

Dissemination of class I integron in Acinetobacter baumliannii isolated from ventilator-associated pneumonia patients and their environment.

Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has become the most common cause of health care-associated infections at Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital, Thailand. The objective of the study was to detect integrons using PCR-based method from 96 A. baumannii isolates from ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) patients and their environment. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using a disk...
