Emergence of Acinetobacter pittii Harboring New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Genes in Daejeon, Korea
Carbapenemase production has been reported worldwide in gram-negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter species. We detected carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter pittii in clinical isolates in Daejeon, Korea. Twenty-one ertapenem-resistant A. pittii isolates screened with a disk diffusion method were characterized by using the Epsilon test, four multiplex PCR assays, and a multilocus sequence ...
متن کاملCombined Use of the Modified Hodge Test and Carbapenemase Inhibition Test for Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae and Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas spp.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the combined use of the modified Hodge test (MHT) and carbapenemase inhibition test (CIT) using phenylboronic acid (PBA) and EDTA to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas spp. METHODS A total of 49 isolates of CPE (15 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase [KPC], 5 Guiana extended-spectrum β-lactamase [...
متن کاملHidden VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase phenotypes among Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates.
A total of 87 Acinetobacter baumannii nonrepetitive consecutive clinical isolates were tested for the presence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs). Results of phenotypic assays (MBL Etest, imipenem/imipenem-EDTA combined-disk test, and imipenem/EDTA double-disk synergy test) were negative in all cases, but molecular testing revealed the presence of two bla(VIM-1)-carrying isolates. One isolate ha...
متن کاملEvaluation of the β-Lactamase Disk Test Method in the Detection of Extended-Spectrum-β- Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background & Aims: The production of extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The outbreak of isolates simultaneously possessing several resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics caused a decrease in sensitivity of the confirmatory tests for ESBL. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the β-lactamase disk test method in the de...
متن کاملStudy of Drug Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae Isolates
Background & objectives: Members of the family enterobacteriaceae comprise the most common gram-negative isolates in microbiology laboratories. Amongst these members, multiple antibiotic-resistant isolates including those producing extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamases (AmpC) have increased steadily. Further, metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing strains are also recently de...
