Using a set of 33 well-defined extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, we compared three screening methods for ESBL detection: (i) a double-disk synergy test, (ii) a three-dimensional test (both the double-disk synergy test and the three-dimensional test were performed with ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, aztreonam, and cefepime), and (iii) the Etest ESBL screen (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden), based on the recognition of a reduction in the ceftazidime MIC in the presence of clavulanic acid. In the double-disk test, all four indicator antibiotics scored equally and 31 of the 33 reference strains were recognized. In the three-dimensional test, ceftriaxone was the only satisfactory indicator and 30 ESBL-positive strains were detected by this antibiotic. Both systems produced two false-positive results with cefepime. With the Etest ESBL screen, 15 of 16 TEM-related and 11 of 16 SHV-related ESBL-producing strains scored positive. In 10 cases the clavulanic acid on one end of the strip interfered with the MIC determination for ceftazidime, which was read on the opposite end. This MIC had to be determined with an extra ceftazidime-only strip. No false-positive results were noted. Eighty-six blood isolates of E. coli and Klebsiella species were screened for ESBL expression by the double-disk and three-dimensional tests, both with ceftriaxone. Six strains with suspicious antibiogram phenotypes also gave positive results by the double-disk test. One E. coli strain remained undetected by the three-dimensional test. Identification of the enzymes suspected of being ESBLs by isoelectric focusing (all strains) and DNA sequencing (1 strain) confirmed the screening test results except for one Klebsiella oxytoca strain, which proved to be a hyperproducer of its chromosomal enzyme and which also had a negative Etest score. The five true ESBL producers were all confirmed by the Etest ESBL screen. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis proved that the E. coli strains were unrelated, but that two of the three K. pneumoniae strains were closely related. 相似文献

The prevalence of bla CTX-M , bla TEM and bla SHV genes among extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical isolates of Escherichia coli ( n = 50) and Klebsiella spp. ( n = 50) from Lebanon was 96%, 57% and 67%, and 40%, 82% and 84%, respectively. Genotyping revealed that the clonal diversity was unrelated to the presence of bla genes. Sequence analysis of 16 selected isolates identified the bla CTX-M-15 , bla TEM-1 , bla OXA-1 and six bla SHV genes, as well as the gene encoding the quinolone-modifying enzyme AAC(6')-Ib-cr. The genes encoding CTX-M-15 and AAC(6')-Ib-cr were carried on a 90-kb plasmid of the pC15-1a or pCTX-15 type, which transferred both ESBL production and quinolone resistance from donors to transconjugants. 相似文献

The author demonstrated that disks containing beta-lactamase inhibitors sulbactam or tazobactam combined with ampicillin (SAM) and piperacillin (TZP) are not suitable for performing the double-disk synergy test (DDST) with the aim of determining the sensitivity of beta-lactamases to these inhibitors. The presence of antibiotics (especially of piperacillin) is so disturbing that the results of testing are not specific. In contrast, the use of disks containing sulbactam or tazobactam alone yields very specific results. The author suggested to the firms producing sensi-disks that they make these commercially available to laboratory workers. 相似文献

BackgroundEscherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are commonly implicated in urinary tract infections accounting for majority of the antimicrobial resistance encountered in hospitals.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae among patients in Anyigba, Nigeria.MethodsThis hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted using urine samples from 200 patients of Grimmard Catholic hospital and Maria Goretti hospital. Urine samples were processed to identify ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae using standard microbiological techniques. Isolates were then tested against antimicrobial agents.ResultsA total of 156 bacterial isolates were recovered consisting 128 of E. coli and 28 of K. pneumoniae. Extended spectrum beta-lactamases production was observed in 69% of E. coli and 31% of K. pneumoniae. These pathogens were resistant to 3 or more antibiotics. Of the antimicrobials tested, cefotaxime demonstrated the highest rates of resistance (100%) for both ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae. Fifty-four isolates of ESBL-producing E. coli showed a high level of resistance to amoxicillin clavulanic acid (83.3%), ciprofloxacin (83.3%), and ceftazidime (79.6%). ESBL-positive K. pneumoniae isolates were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (75%), and amoxicillin clavulanic acid (83.3%). Cefoxitin (62.5%) and gentamicin (66.7%) showed substantially higher rates of resistance against these isolates while all 24 strains were resistant to imipenem.ConclusionThis study indicated the prevalence of ESBL-positive Gram-negative pathogens in these study sites and also demonstrated their resistance to a few antibiotics. This highlights the need for new antimicrobials that are potent and improved policy on use of antibiotics. 相似文献

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are a leading cause of diarrhea among children. The objective of this study was to define the frequency of EAEC among diarrheal children from flood‐affected areas as well as sporadic cases, determine multidrug resistance, and evaluation of virulence using an in vivo model of pathogenesis. Stool samples were collected from 225 diarrheal children from 2010 to 2011 from flood‐affected areas as well as from sporadic cases in Pakistan. Identified EAEC isolates were characterized by phylogrouping, antibiotic resistance patterns including the extended‐spectrum beta lactamase spectrum, single nucleotide polymorphism detection in gyrA and parC, and virulence potential using wax worm, G. mellonella. A total of 35 (12.5%) confirmed EAEC isolates were identified among 225 E. coli isolates. EAEC isolates displayed high resistance to tetracycline, ampicillin, and cefaclor. A total of 34.28% were ESBL positive. Single nucleotide polymorphism detection revealed 37.14% and 68.57% isolates were positive for SNPs in gyrA (A660‐T660) and parC (C330‐T330), respectively. Phylogrouping revealed that B2 phylogroup was more prevalent among all EAEC isolates tested followed by D, A, B1, and non‐typeable (NT). Infection of G. mellonella with EAEC showed that killing infective dose was 100% higher than E. coli DH5 alpha control. EAEC are prevalent among Pakistani children with diarrhea, they are highly resistant to antibiotics, and predominantly fall into B2 phylogroup. Epidemiologic surveillance of EAEC and other E. coli pathotypes is critical to assess not only the role of these pathogens in diarrheal disease but also to determine the extent of multidrug resistance among the population. 相似文献

This study evaluates the performance of a modified double-disc test (MDDT) for the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Ninety-six isolates of E. coli and 40 K. pneumoniae are studied for ESBL production by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) combination disc tests and MDDT A total of 112 (82%) isolates (80 [83%] E. coli, 32 [80%] K. pneumoniae) were positive for ESBL by MDDT compared to 102 (75%; 72 [75%] E. coli and 30 [75%] K. pneumoniae) by the NCCLS method. In 10 (7.4%) isolates, ESBLs were detected only by MDDT Twenty-four (17.6%) isolates were negative for ESBL by both methods. The protocol described in this study provides a more sensitive approach than does the NCCLS method for ESBL detection in E. coli and K. pneumoniae. 相似文献

In total, 438 (1.7%) Escherichia coli and 125 (3.98%) Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were found to be producers of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) during 1995-2003 in southern Spain. There was a significant increase in the frequency of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates, from < 0.36% before 1999 to 4.8% in 2003, while the frequency of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates decreased during the same period. The most common ESBLs detected in K. pneumoniae were SHV type, whereas both CTX-M and SHV types were detected in E. coli. In addition, E. coli isolates showed greater clonal diversity (84 distinct REP-PCR patterns, compared with five in K. pneumoniae), fewer enzymes per isolate, and a higher number of isolates recovered from outpatients. These differences may have implications for the control measures that should be used for these two microorganisms. 相似文献

We investigated the faecal carriage of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli in different groups of human subjects and in the environment. A total of 363 E. coli strains were isolated from stool samples of patients (n = 77), healthy subjects (n = 170) and from different environmental samples (n = 116). A total of 124 ESBL producing E. coli strains were isolated in this study. The frequency of ESBL producing E. coli was found to be highest (60.3%) among the strains isolated from patients, followed by healthy individuals (38%) and the environment (10.5%). The environment was observed to have a very low number of ESBL producing E. coli. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. from pus, urine and respiratory specimens, with particular emphasis on the detection of third-generation cephalosporin resistance.
Methods: E. coli (698) and Klebsiella sp. (476) strains from pus, respiratory and urinary specimens from hospital patients were collected from 19 laboratories. Data about consumption of third-generation cephalosporins and cefuroxime were collected from 24 hospitals. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested with disk diffusion in primary laboratories and by an agar dilution method. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production was studied with a double disk synergy test and an ESBL Etest. The β-lactamase classes were characterized with polymerase chain reaction probes of the TEM and SHV β-lactamase families and isoelectric focusing.
Results: Only 0.6% of E. coli and 2.3% of Klebsiella spp. strains were resistant or intermediately resistant to cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and/or ceftazidime. The ESBL producers detected comprised one E. coli harboring TEM-like genes and five Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, two of which harbored SHV-like genes, two TEM-like genes and one both. Although consumption of cefuroxime has increased in the years 1990–1994, from 3.48 to 5.84 defined daily doses/100 bed-days, and the consumption of third-generation cephalosporins from 1.25 to 1.94 defined daily doses/100 bed-days, cefuroxime resistance of E. coli was only 3%.
Conclusion: Although the use of broad-spectrum cephalosporins has increased, resistance to second- and thirdgeneration cephalosporins is still rare in Finland. 相似文献

Glycoprotein B (gB) and glycoprotein H (gH) of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are believed to play an important role in virus entry and as targets for host immune response. This study examined the genetic diversity of these glycoproteins among 90 HHV-7 isolates collected from different individuals in Hong Kong. Overall, both the gB and gH genes were found to be highly conserved. Nucleotide polymorphism was detected only at four positions of the gB-encoding region, and all of these were synonymous substitutions. Most (97.8%) Hong Kong isolates were of gB allele group C. Two isolates collected from a Pakistani family showed a novel sequence pattern that did not match known gB allele groups. This sequence pattern was detected consistently from serial samples collected from the same individual, indicating a stable genetic entity. The gH-encoding region exhibited nucleotide polymorphism at six positions. Three of these were nonsynonymous substitutions (codon 271 Lys --> Gln, codon 308 Gly --> Glu, codon 397 Asn --> Tyr). Most (84.4%) Hong Kong isolates were of the gH allele group B, and all others were of the gH allele group C. These data indicate the possibility of using gB or gH alleles as markers for studying world-wide population movements and genetics. 相似文献

Objective To compare common extended-spectrum β -lactamase (ESBL) screening methods and β -lactams for their ability to detect TEM- and SHV-related ESBL enzymes.
Methods This study compared disk diffusion testing by NCCLS methodology, the Jarlier double disk test, a disk-on-disk test, a modified three-dimensional test and the E test method for their sensitivity and specificity in detecting TEM- and SHV-related ESBL producers. Three negative and 22 positive controls were studied. These were two Klebsiella pneumoniae and 23 Escherichia coli transconjugants. Seventeen β -lactam antibiotics were tested: cefamandole, cefotetan, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, cefixime, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime, cefsulodin, ceftazidime, ceftibuten, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, moxalactam, cefepime, cefpirome and aztreonam.
Results NCCLS disk diffusion was 14% sensitive with ceftriaxone, 36% with cefotaxime, 64% with aztreonam, 68% with cefpodoxime, and 73% with ceftazidime. Cefoperazone, cefamandole, cefpodoxime and cefpirome showed 91% sensitivity using the Jarlier test. Using the disk-on-disk test, cefsulodin showed 95% sensitivity, and cefoperazone, cefepime and cefamandole showed 91% sensitivity. With the modified three-dimensional test, cefoperazone, cefpodoxime and cefpirome showed 91% sensitivity.
Conclusions For practical reasons, we would recommend use of either the Jarlier test or the commercial cephalosporin disks containing clavulanic acid to screen for ESBL producers. Cefoperazone, cefamandole, cefpodoxime and cefpirome showed good sensitivity across the methods tested. 相似文献

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have continued to evolve after their initial detection in Europe nearly two decades ago. The summary results from the MYSTIC Program (31 medical centers) were utilized to assess the extent of ESBL occurrence in Europe from 1997 to 2000. ESBL phenotype rates in Klebsiella spp. (32.8%) and Escherichia coli (14.4%) were generally stable, but extensive hospital-to-hospital and unit-to-unit variations were noted. The highest ESBL rates were found in eastern Europe (including Turkey) and in intensive care unit patient populations. Carbapenems remained active against the ESBL-producing strains (meropenem MIC90 , 0.25–1 mg/L), while some other agents, such as aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and piperacillin–tazobactam, were significantly less effective. International surveillance initiatives should be maintained to monitor future progression of this important resistance. 相似文献

Non-beta-lactam inhibitor-based methods were evaluated for detecting plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases in Klebsiella spp., Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Using CLSI methodology and disks containing cefotetan alone and in combination with 400 mug of boronic acid, 9 of 10 positive control strains and 54 of 55 AmpC-PCR-positive clinical isolates were detected. Importantly 71% and 40% of these clinical isolates were susceptible by routine testing to ceftriaxone and ceftazidime, respectively. Boronic acid disks also enhanced detection of expanded-spectrum beta-lactamases in AmpC producers. 相似文献

The increasing trend of carbapenem‐resistance (CR) and multi‐drug resistance (MDR) in A. baumannii worldwide has limited the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotic therapy. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of carbapenemases and integrons among the isolates of imipenem‐resistant A. baumannii (IRAB). A total of 71 non‐repetitive imipenem‐ resistant A. baumannii isolates were collected and tested for susceptibility to 17 antimicrobials. The modified Hodge test and EDTA‐disc synergy test were performed for the screening of carbapenemases and metallo‐β ‐lactamases (MBLs) production, respectively. Isolates were then subjected to multiplex‐PCR targeting genes encoding for OXA‐type carbapenemase, MBLs and integrases. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) genotyping was performed to assess genetic relatedness. All isolates exhibited multi‐drug resistant phenotype. Colistin was the most active antimicrobial agent tested. Seventy‐one isolates (100%) demonstrated positive in the modified Hodge test. Thirty‐nine isolates showed positive in the EDTA‐disc synergy test, however, no MBL genes were detected. All strains possessed a blaOXA‐51‐like gene. The co‐exis‐tence of blaOXA‐51‐like/blaOXA‐23‐like/intI1, blaOXA‐51‐like/blaOXA‐23‐like, blaOXA‐51‐like/blaOXA‐24‐like was detected in 91.6% (n = 65), 5.6% (n = 4), 2.8% (n = 2), respectively. Analysis of the genetic con‐text of blaOXA‐23 showed the presence of ISAba1 upstream of blaOXA‐23. No ISAba1 was detected upstream of blaOXA‐51. Two different gene cassettes were found in these strains, and a high prevalence of aacA4, aadA1 and catB8 genes was observed. RAPD of 71 isolates showed 7 genotypes. The strains were mainly recovered from patients in intensive care unit, neurosurgery and department of respiratory disease. These ?ndings show that multi‐drug resistance in A. baumannii is a common problem. This study also shows a high distribution of blaOXA‐23‐like and intI1 genes in imipenem‐resistant A. baumannii isolates. The clonal spread played an important role in the increase of OXA‐23 producing IRABs in the hospital environment. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The inherited disorders of hemoglobin represent the most common Mendelian disease worldwide, with a higher prevalence among Mediterraneans, Asians, Africans, and Indians. Altered beta-globin sequences, causing either hemoglobinopathies or beta-thalassemia syndromes, are due to more than 200 different mutations in the beta-globin gene. Prevention programs based on postnatal and prenatal molecular diagnosis of heterozygous carriers and/or patients require the use of reliable mutation scanning methods in at-risk populations. We have developed a rapid and highly specific mutation screening test based on the denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) system. The sensitivity and specificity of the method were tested on the full genomic region of the beta-globin gene in 30 normal Italian subjects and 40 heterozygous carriers in which 25 different beta-globin mutations had been previously characterized by multiplex-ARMS technique. The results showed DHPLC to be 100% sensitive and specific. All the 25 sequence alterations and two previously undetected polymorphisms were precisely identified with neither false positive nor false negative results. In addition, 12 compound heterozygous and four homozygous patients were successfully subjected to DHPLC. Overall, the method was able to rapidly identify the most common beta-globin mutations, accounting for more than 97% of beta-globin alleles in the Italian population. Compared to classical approaches of mutation screening, this method allows a rapid, highly sensitive, cost-effective, and semi-automated simultaneous mutational scanning of a large number of samples. 相似文献

Escherichia coli is associated with inflammation in the brain. To investigate whether astrocytes are involved in E. coil-induced inflammation, we assessed the levels of expression of proinflammatory mediators produced by E. coli-infected astrocytes. E. coli infection in primary human astrocytes and cell lines increased expression of the CXC chemokine IL-8/GRO-alpha, the CC chemokine MCP-1, TNF-alpha, and iNOS. E. coli infection activated p65/p50 heterodimeric NF-kappaB and concurrently decreased the signals of IkappaBalpha. Blocking the NF-kappaB signals by IkappaBalpha-superrepressor-containing retrovirus or antisense p50 oligonucleotide transfection resulted in down-regulation of expression of the proinflammatory mediators. Furthermore, superrepressors of IkappaBalpha, IkappaB kinase (IKK) or NF-kappaB inducing kinase (NIK) inhibited the up-regulated expression of the downstream target genes of NF-kappaB such as IL-8 and MCP-1, and superrepressors of TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)2 and TRAF5 also inhibited expression of the E. coli-induced target genes of NF-kappaB. These results indicate that proinflammatory mediators such as the CXC chemokine IL-8/GRO-alpha, the CC chemokine MCP-1, TNF-alpha, and iNOS can be expressed in E. coli-infected astrocytes via an NF-kappaB pathway, suggesting that these mediators may contribute to inflammation in the brain, including infiltration of inflammatory cells. 相似文献

Umbilical cord blood has emerged as an alternative source of haematopoietic CD34+ cells for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Although bacteraemia induced by Escherichia coli is considered one of the complications of transplantation, expression of proinflammatory cytokines is poorly understood. In this study, we report the altered expression of proinflammatory cytokines in CD34+ cells and their in vitro cultured cells following E. coli infection. CD34+ stem cells and their cultured cells up-regulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha after infection with E. coli. Expression of the proinflammatory cytokines was generated mainly by the granulocyte-macrophage lineages. E. coli infection activated the signals of p50/p50 nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) homodimers and IkappaB kinase. Furthermore, inhibition of NF-kappaB activation lowered the up-regulated expression of the proinflammatory cytokines. These results suggest that CD34+ cells and their cultured cells infected with E. coli induce the expression of proinflammatory cytokines via the NF-kappaB pathway. 相似文献

ESBL‐producing E. coli isolates have been isolated from eight of seventy seven faecal samples (10.4%) of wild boars in Portugal. The ESBL types identified by PCR and sequencing were blaCTX‐M‐1 (6 isolates) and blaCTX‐M‐1 + blaTEM1‐b (2 isolates). Further resistance genes detected included tet (A) or tet (B) (in three tetracycline‐resistant isolates), aad A (in three streptomycin‐resistant isolates), cml A (in one chloramphenicol‐resistant isolate), sul 1 and/or sul 2 and/or sul 3 (in all sulfonamide‐resistant isolates). The intI 1 gene encoding class 1 integrase was detected in all ESBL‐producing E. coli isolates. One isolate also carried the intI 2 gene, encoding class 2 integrase. The ESBL‐producing E. coli isolates could be assigned to phylogenetic groups B1 (3 isolates), B2 (3 isolates) or A (2 isolates). Amino acid change in GyrA protein (Ser83Leu or Asp87Tyr) was detected in three nalidixic acid‐resistant and ciprofloxacin‐susceptible isolates. Two amino acid changes in GyrA (Ser83Leu + Asp87Asn) and one in ParC (Ser80Ile) were identified in two nalidixic acid‐ and ciprofloxacin‐resistant isolates. As evidenced by this study wild boars could be a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献
