AmpC and OprD are not involved in the mechanism of imipenem hypersusceptibility among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates overexpressing the mexCD-oprJ efflux pump.

چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that overexpress mexCD-oprJ become hypersusceptible to imipenem. Disruption of AmpC induction has been suggested to cause this phenotype. However, data from this study demonstrate that hypersusceptibility to imipenem can develop without changes in ampC expression or AmpC activity. Furthermore, hypersusceptibility is not caused by changes in expression of the outer membrane porin, OprD.

Potent in vitro activity of tomopenem (CS-023) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Tomopenem (formerly CS-023) is a novel 1beta-methylcarbapenem with broad-spectrum coverage of gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. Its antibacterial activity against European clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was compared with those of imipenem and meropenem. The MICs of tomopenem against MRSA and P. aeruginosa at which 90% ...
متن کاملDetection of DNA Gyrase Mutation and Multidrug Efflux Pumps Hyperactivity in Ciprofloxacin Resistant Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Target modification and reduced drug accumulation are the main resistance mechanisms against fluoroquinolone antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We performed a genotypic characterization of three major Mex multidrug efflux pumps (MexAB-OprM, MexXY-OprM and MexCD-OprJ) in ciprofloxacin resistant clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, collected from Tehran, Iran this was followed by sequencin...

The aim of this study was to characterize two metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates showing meropenem susceptibility. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed by automated testing and Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute agar dilution method. MBL production was investigated by phenotypic tests. Molecular typing was determined by pulsed field gel ...
متن کاملMultiple genotypic changes in hypersusceptible strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from cystic fibrosis patients do not always correlate with the phenotype.
OBJECTIVES Although Pseudomonas aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis patients are well known for their antibiotic resistance, isolates that are highly susceptible to multiple drug classes have also been encountered. In this study, hypersusceptible P. aeruginosa isolates were analysed for changes in intrinsic resistance mechanisms to explain the observed phenotype. METHODS P. aeruginosa strains PA3...
متن کاملA combined phenotypic and genotypic method for the detection of Mex efflux pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
BACKGROUND Mex efflux pumps contribute to multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Evidencing their expression in clinical isolates would help in rationalizing antibiotic selection. METHODS We have developed a combined phenotypic and genotypic approach for the differential diagnosis of resistance mediated by four major transporters (MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN, MexXY-OprM). The ...
