Rapid detection of ?-lactamase-hydrolyzing extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae by use of the new chromogenic ?Lacta test.

ABSTRACT: The chromogenic ?Lacta test developed for the rapid detection of ?-lactamase-hydrolyzing extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae revealed good performance with extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL) producers (97.5% true-positive results). However, false-negative results occurred with chromosomal AmpC hyperproducers and plasmid AmpC producers, whereas uninterpretable results were mostly due to VIM-1 carbapenemase producers and possibly low levels of expressed ESBLs.

Comparison of 2 chromogenic media for the detection of extended-spectrum ?-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae stool carriage in nursing home residents.

Project description:ChromID ESBL agar and Brilliance ESBL agar were compared for the isolation of extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae from 298 stools. These had comparable sensitivity and selectivity for the 116 positive samples. Pre-enrichment with cefpodoxime and extending incubation to 48 hours after direct plating both significantly increased sensitivity but reduced selectivity of both agars.

An Improved Extended-Spectrum-?-Lactamase Detection Test Utilizing Aztreonam plus Clavulanate.

Project description:Clinical laboratories test for extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) for epidemiological and infection control purposes and also for the potential of cephalosporins to cause therapeutic failures. Testing can be problematic, because the CLSI does not recommend the testing of all producers of ESBLs and also falsely negative results may occur with isolates that coproduce AmpC. Boronic acid-supplemented tests can enhance ESBL detection in AmpC producers. Because aztreonam inhibits AmpCs, a study was designed to compare ESBL detection by the CLSI disk test (CLSI), a boronic acid-supplemented CLSI disk test (CLSI plus BA), and an aztreonam plus clavulanate disk test (ATM plus CA). The study tested 100 well-characterized Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Seventy produced TEM, SHV, or CTX-M ESBLs, with 15 coproducing an AmpC and 11 coproducing a metallo-?-lactamase. Thirty ESBL-negative isolates were also tested. Tests were inoculated by CLSI methodology and interpreted as positive if an inhibitor caused a zone diameter increase of ?5 mm. The percentages of ESBL producers detected were as follows: ATM plus CA, 95.7%; CLSI plus BA, 88.6%; and CLSI, 78.6%. When AmpC was coproduced, the sensitivities of the tests were as follows: ATM plus CA, 100%; CLSI plus BA, 93.3%; and CLSI, 60%. ATM plus CA also detected an ESBL in 90.1% of isolates that coproduced a metallo-?-lactamase. Falsely positive tests occurred only with the CLSI and CLSI plus BA tests. Overall, the ATM plus CA test detected ESBLs more accurately than the CLSI and CLSI plus BA tests, especially with isolates coproducing an AmpC or metallo-?-lactamase.

Extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Yaounde, Cameroon.

Project description:Organisms producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have been reported in many countries, but there is no information on the prevalence of ESBL-producing members of the family Enterobacteriaceae in Cameroon. A total of 259 Enterobacteriaceae strains were isolated between 1995 and 1998 from patients at the Yaounde Central Hospital in Cameroon. Enterobacterial isolates resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporin and monobactam were screened for ESBL production by the double-disk (DD) synergy test. Thirty-one (12%) of these Enterobacteriaceae strains were shown to be positive by the DD synergy test, suggesting the presence of ESBLs. Resistance to oxyimino-cephalosporins and monobactams of 12 (38.7%) of the 31 strains-i.e., 6 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4 Escherichia coli, 1 Citrobacter freundii, and 1 Enterobacter cloacae strain-was transferred to E. coli HK-225 by conjugation. Resistance to gentamicin, gentamicin plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was cotransferred into 6, 2, and 1 of these transconjugants, respectively. All 12 transconjugants were resistant to amoxicillin, piperacillin, all of the cephalosporins, and aztreonam but remained susceptible to cefoxitin and imipenem. Crude extracts of beta-lactamase-producing transconjugants were able to reduce the diameters of inhibition zones around disks containing penicillins, narrow- to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins or monobactams when tested against a fully susceptible E. coli strain but had no effect on such zones around cefoxitin, imipenem, and amoxicillin-clavulanate disks. The beta-lactamases produced by the 12 tranconjugants turned out to be SHV-12 by DNA sequencing. Therefore, the ESBL SHV-12 is described for the first time in Cameroon.

Carbapenem-hydrolyzing GES-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii isolate AP was recovered from a bronchial lavage of a patient hospitalized in Paris, France. A. baumannii AP was resistant to all β-lactams, including carbapenems, and produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) GES-14, which differs from GES-1 by two substitutions, Gly170Ser and Gly243Ala. Cloning of the bla(GES-14) gene followed by its expression in Escherichia coli showed that GES-14 compromised significantly the efficacy of all β-lactams, including cephalosporins, aztreonam, and carbapenems. The carbapenemase activity of purified GES-14 was confirmed by kinetic studies. The bla(GES-14) gene was located into a class 1 integron structure and located onto a ca. 95-kb self-transferable plasmid. This study identified a very broad-spectrum β-lactamase in A. baumannii.

Transferable Extended-Spectrum ?-Lactamase (ESBL) Plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae from Irrigation Water.

Project description:Extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are classified as serious threats to human health by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Water used for irrigation of fresh produce can transmit such resistant bacteria directly to edible plant parts. We screened ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, and Citrobacter freundii isolated from irrigation water for their potential to transmit resistance to antibiotic-susceptible E. coli. All strains were genome-sequenced and tested in vitro for transmission of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins on solid agar as well as in liquid culture. Of the 19 screened isolates, five ESBL-producing E. coli were able to transfer resistance with different efficiency to susceptible recipient E. coli. Transconjugant strains were sequenced for detection of transferred antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and compared to the known ARG pattern of their respective donors. Additionally, phenotypic resistance patterns were obtained for both transconjugant and corresponding donor strains, confirming ESBL-producing phenotypes of all obtained transconjugants.

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> in Fresh Produce.

Project description:Fresh vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet, but microbial contamination of fruits and vegetables is a serious concern to human health, not only for the presence of foodborne pathogens but because they can be a vehicle for the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This work aimed to investigate the importance of fresh produce in the transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. A total of 174 samples of vegetables (117) and farm environment (57) were analysed to determine enterobacterial contamination and presence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Enterobacterial counts above the detection limit were found in 82.9% vegetable samples and 36.8% environmental samples. The average count was 4.2 log cfu/g or mL, with a maximum value of 6.2 log cfu/g in a parsley sample. Leafy vegetables showed statistically significant higher mean counts than other vegetables. A total of 15 ESBL-producing isolates were obtained from vegetables (14) and water (1) samples and were identified as Serratia fonticola (11) and Rahnella aquatilis (4). Five isolates of S. fonticola were considered multi-drug resistant. Even though their implication in human infections is rare, they can become an environmental reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes that can be further disseminated along the food chain.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae among travelers from the Netherlands.

Project description:A prospective cohort study was performed among travelers from the Netherlands to investigate the acquisition of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CP-E) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and associated risk factors. Questionnaires were administered and rectal swab samples were collected and tested before and after traveler return. Of 370 travelers, 32 (8.6%) were colonized with ESBL-E before trave,; 113 (30.5%) acquired an ESBL-E during travel, and 26 were still colonized 6 months after return. No CP-E were found. Independent risk factors for ESBL-E acquisition were travel to South and East Asia. Multilocus sequence typing showed extensive genetic diversity among Escherichia coli. Predominant ESBLs were CTX-M enzymes. The acquisition rate, 30.5%, of ESBL-E in travelers from the Netherlands to all destinations studied was high. Active surveillance for ESBL-E and CP-E and contact isolation precautions may be recommended at admission to medical facilities for patients who traveled to Asia during the previous 6 months.

Current trends in culture-based and molecular detection of extended-spectrum-?-lactamase-harboring and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.

Project description:The ever-expanding role of extended-spectrum-?-lactamase (ESBL)-harboring and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in causing serious infections poses a grave public health threat because these organisms also tend to be multidrug resistant, for which very few (if any) antibiotic options remain available. Rapid detection of such panresistant organisms offers one of the best solutions to improve patient screening and hospital infection control practices as well as curb inappropriate antibiotic use. This review discusses and compares primarily the current state-of-the-art culture-based and molecular methods that are commercially available for detection or screening of ESBL-harboring and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.

BEL-2, an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with increased activity toward expanded-spectrum cephalosporins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:A Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate recovered in Belgium produced a novel extended-spectrum ss-lactamase, BEL-2, differing from BEL-1 by a single Leu162Phe substitution. That modification significantly altered the kinetic properties of the enzyme, increasing its affinity for expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The bla(BEL-2) gene was identified from a P. aeruginosa isolate clonally related to another bla(BEL-1)-positive isolate.
