Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: clonal spread in southern Brazil and in the state of Goiás.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study evaluated the clonal spread of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa producing SPM-1 type metallo-β-lactamase (MBL), at the university hospital of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, compared to an epidemic clone previously reported, as well as strains collected in other three Brazilian states. Among the isolates, 17 (62%) were clonal and highly related to strains from other regions of Brazil. Six clonal strains harbored the blaSPM-1 gene. The finding of a unique SPM-1 producer clone suggests that its dissemination has contributed to the high resistance to carbapenems in Brazilian hospitals.

Background & Objective: The spread of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a global concern. Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) enzymes cause extensive drug resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. The current study aimed at determining the prevalence of MBL-producing P. aeruginosa in Iran. Methods<...

BACKGROUND In Brazil, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates are associated with significant mortality, morbidity and costs. Studies on the clonal relatedness of these isolates could lay the foundation for effective infection prevention and control programs. OBJECTIVES We sought to study the epidemiologi...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen causes clinical infections among burn patients. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are important mechanisms of Carbapenem (drug of choice) resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The aims of this study were to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and to detect the prevalence of MBLs among Pseudomonas aer...
