| Introduction: Some Pseudomonas aerugin-osa strains produce Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase which causes resistance to cephalosporins such as cefteriaxon, cefota-xim, ceftazidim and also monobactams such as azteronam. Over expression of efflux pumps including MexAB-OPRM is a factors which play an important role in resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to antibiotics.
Materials & Methods: In order to detect the mutation frequency in PA3721 gene, 50 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isola-ted from urinary tract infection in Emam Khomeini Hospital of Ilam and Milad Hospital in Tehran were studied. The isolates were confirmed by biochemical methods and the Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase were screened by disk diffusion method. Phenotypic confirmatory test by combined disk was utilized for confirma-tion of ESBLs. In next step, ESBLs genes as well as mutation in frequency PA3721 gene in producing and non producing ESBLs Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were identified by PCR method.
Findings: In this study, 50 isolates were studied, including 18 isolates from Milad Hospital and the rest from Ilam Hospitals. In Milad Hospital, ESBLs genes for PER, PSE and VEB and in Ilam Hospitals ESBL gene for OxA-10 were detected. In Ilam samples including 32 isolates of which 17 samples produced ESBLs, all carried oxA-10 gene and 8 isolates (47/05%) were positive for mutation in PA3721 gene.
Discussion & Conclusion: According to the results, Meropenem was more effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in in vitro condition. The results also showed that nearly half of oxA-10 producing Pse-udomonas aeruginosa isolates carry nalC gene. |
