Antibiotic Susceptibilities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Blood Samples and Antibiotic Utilization in a University Hospital in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infection. Several reports indicated a correlation of antimicrobial usages and declined susceptibilities. In this report, we evaluated their relation in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Tokyo, Japan for 4 years.

Methods

We evaluated the susceptibilities of 149 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from blood samples and consumption of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics as antimicrobial use density from 2009 to 2012 in the University of Tokyo Hospital in Tokyo, Japan.

Results

Usages of carbapenems and anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins decreased 44% and 31% from 2009 to 2011, and then increased 30% and 24% in 2012, respectively. Usage of piperacillin-tazobactam increased 87% from 2009 to 2012, which was introduced in the hospital in 2008. Consumption of fluoroquinolones and aminoglycoside remained low in those years. Susceptibilities to cephalosporins, carbapenems (except for panipenem-betamipron), penicillins, and fluoroquinolones declined between 22% and 39% in 2010, increased in the range of 16-31% in 2011, and increased by 1-14% in 2012. Susceptibility of panipenem-betamipron ranged between 25% and 32%. Susceptibility to aminoglycoside was more than 90% during this period. No relationship between antimicrobial usages and susceptibilities of P. aeruginosa was observed.

Conclusion

Susceptibilities of P. aeruginosa did not correlate with the usage of antibiotics in our hospital. Several infection control measures and other factors might contribute to changing the susceptibilities of bacteria.

Lack of Change in Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Pediatric Hospital Despite Marked Changes in Antibiotic Utilization.

Project description:IntroductionIt is assumed that a direct relationship exists between the extent of use of any given antibiotic or antibiotic class and the degree of susceptibility or resistance on the part of various bacteria to that antibiotic or class.MethodsPseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility rates and utilization of key antipseudomonal antibiotics in a pediatric hospital, reflected as grams/1,000 patient days, were studied over a 7-year period.ResultsWhile the volume of use of a number of antibiotics changed dramatically over this time period, susceptibility of Pseudomonas to these same agents remained relatively stable. The use of aminoglycosides decreased 14.5% while that of piperacillin/tazobactam increased 92% over the period of observation while susceptibility generally varied by <10%.ConclusionContrary to popular belief, changes in antibiotic utilization patterns do not always result in changes in susceptibility thus emphasizing the importance of continual institutional monitoring of antibiotic use and susceptibility patterns.

Investigation of antibiotic susceptibilities of Brucella Strains isolated from various clinical samples in eastern Turkey.

Project description:BackgroundBrucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that causes serious public health problems. This study aimed to identify Brucella strains isolated from various clinical samples by conventional and molecular methods and to determine antimicrobial susceptibilities against doxycycline (DOX), streptomycin (STR), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and rifampicin (RIF) by the gradient strip (E test) test method.MethodsA total of 87 Brucella strains isolated from various clinical specimens between 2004 and 2018 were included in this study. While four of the 87 strains included in the study were identified only at the genus level, the remaining 83 strains were identified at the species level by the Real-Time Multiplex PCR (M-RT-PCR) method and conventional methods were used for biotyping.ResultsAccording to molecular identification results, 83 strains were identified as B. melitensis by the M-RT-PCR method, with 82 strains identified as Brucella melitensis biovar (bv) 3 and one as B. melitensis bv 1 according to the conventional biotyping method. Among the antibiotics studied, CIP was found to be the most active agent according to the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)90 values. This was followed by DOX and STR, respectively. While all of the isolates were sensitive to CIP, DOX and STR, 18 (20.7%) strains were found to be moderately susceptible to RIF, with the highest values of MIC50 and MIC90.ConclusionsIn our study, all strains were identified as B. melitensis. DOX, STR, CIP and RIF used in the treatment of brucellosis were found to be effective.

Bacteriophage can lyse antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from canine diseases.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen frequently identified as the cause of diverse infections or chronic disease. This microbe has natural resistance to several kinds of antibiotics, because of the species' outer membrane, efflux pumps and growth as a biofilm. This bacterium can acquire increased resistance with specific point mutations. Bacteriophage (phage), however, can lyse these bacteria. Therefore, in the present study, we assessed the host range of phages isolates and their ability to lyse antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa. Present phages could lyse many strains of P. aeruginosa (28/39), including strains with high resistance to fluoroquinolones (4/6). In conclusion, application of phages for antibiotic-resistant bacteria is greatly effective. To avoid pervasive antibiotic-resistant bacteria, further development of phage usage for disease treatment is required.

Molecular Epidemiology of Carbapenemase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from an Iranian University Hospital: Evidence for Spread of High-Risk Clones.

Project description:Purpose:Given the importance of treatment failure due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, studies on population structure of these organisms are necessary to improve control strategies. Accordingly, the current study aimed to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) at a teaching referral hospital in Iran and to analyz their molecular clonality by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for epidemiological purposes. Methods:In this study, modified Hodge test (MHT) and double-disk synergy test (DDST) were used for carbapenemase production and metallo-?-lactamases (MBLs) screening, respectively. All P. aeruginosa isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, MBL genes (blaIMP, blaVIM, blaSPM, blaNDM) were detected by multiplex PCR assay. Results:Among 68 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates, 38 (55.88%) isolates were CRPA. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that most of these isolates were MDR. PFGE analyses showed 5 common types and 27 single types among CRPA isolates. MLST analysis revealed three major clusters (MLST-sequence types (STs): 235, 357, and 861) among them. The 30 non-CRPA isolates corresponded mainly to MLST-STs 253, 360, and 446. Conclusion:Our results showed that internationally distributed MLST-STs with widely genomic diversity have spread in our hospital, and clonal expansion of MDR strains of P. aeruginosa was described as well.

Antibiotic Resistance Characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Keratitis in Australia and India.

Project description:This study investigated genomic differences in Australian and Indian Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from keratitis (infection of the cornea). Overall, the Indian isolates were resistant to more antibiotics, with some of those isolates being multi-drug resistant. Acquired genes were related to resistance to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, macrolides, sulphonamides, and tetracycline and were more frequent in Indian (96%) than in Australian (35%) isolates (p = 0.02). Indian isolates had large numbers of gene variations (median 50,006, IQR = 26,967-50,600) compared to Australian isolates (median 26,317, IQR = 25,681-33,780). There were a larger number of mutations in the mutL and uvrD genes associated with the mismatch repair (MMR) system in Indian isolates, which may result in strains losing their efficacy for DNA repair. The number of gene variations were greater in isolates carrying MMR system genes or exoU. In the phylogenetic division, the number of core genes were similar in both groups, but Indian isolates had larger numbers of pan genes (median 6518, IQR = 6040-6935). Clones related to three different sequence types-ST308, ST316, and ST491-were found among Indian isolates. Only one clone, ST233, containing two strains was present in Australian isolates. The most striking differences between Australian and Indian isolates were carriage of exoU (that encodes a cytolytic phospholipase) in Indian isolates and exoS (that encodes for GTPase activator activity) in Australian isolates, large number of acquired resistance genes, greater changes to MMR genes, and a larger pan genome as well as increased overall genetic variation in the Indian isolates.

Antibiotic resistance determinants in a Pseudomonas putida strain isolated from a hospital.

Project description:Environmental microbes harbor an enormous pool of antibiotic and biocide resistance genes that can impact the resistance profiles of animal and human pathogens via horizontal gene transfer. Pseudomonas putida strains are ubiquitous in soil and water but have been seldom isolated from humans. We have established a collection of P. putida strains isolated from in-patients in different hospitals in France. One of the isolated strains (HB3267) kills insects and is resistant to the majority of the antibiotics used in laboratories and hospitals, including aminoglycosides, ß-lactams, cationic peptides, chromoprotein enediyne antibiotics, dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, fluoroquinolones and quinolones, glycopeptide antibiotics, macrolides, polyketides and sulfonamides. Similar to other P. putida clinical isolates the strain was sensitive to amikacin. To shed light on the broad pattern of antibiotic resistance, which is rarely found in clinical isolates of this species, the genome of this strain was sequenced and analysed. The study revealed that the determinants of multiple resistance are both chromosomally-borne as well as located on the pPC9 plasmid. Further analysis indicated that pPC9 has recruited antibiotic and biocide resistance genes from environmental microorganisms as well as from opportunistic and true human pathogens. The pPC9 plasmid is not self-transmissible, but can be mobilized by other bacterial plasmids making it capable of spreading antibiotic resistant determinants to new hosts.

D-Glutamate Utilization in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Project description:D-Glutamate (D-Glu), an essential component of peptidoglycans, can be utilized as carbon and nitrogen source by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. DNA microarrays were employed to identify genes involved in D-Glu catabolism. Through gene knockout and growth phenotype analysis, the divergent dguR-dguABC (D-glutamate utilization) gene cluster was shown to participate in D-Glu catabolism and regulation. The dguA gene encodes a FAD-dependent D-amino acid dehydrogenase with D-Glu as its preferred substrate, and its promoter was specifically induced by exogenous D-Glu and D-Gln. The function of DguR as transcriptional activator of the dguABC operon was demonstrated by promoter activity measurements in vivo and by mobility shift assays with purified His-tagged DguR in vitro. Although the DNA-binding activity of DguR did not require D-Glu, the presence of D-Glu in the binding reaction was found to stabilize a preferred nucleoprotein complex. The dguB gene encodes a putative enamine/imine deaminase of the RidA family, but its role in D-Glu catabolism remained to be determined. While a lesion in dguC encoding a periplasmic solute binding protein did not affect growth on D-Glu, the AatJMQP transporter for acidic amino acid uptake was found essential for D-Glu and L-Glu utilization. Expression of this uptake system was subjected to induction by exogenous DL-Glu, most likely via the AauSR two-component system. In summary, DguA was identified in this study as a new member of the FAD-dependent amino acid dehydrogenase family for D-amino acid catabolism. DguR serves as a D-Glu sensor and transcriptional activator of the dguA promoter.

Molecular Mechanism of the β-Lactamase Mediated β-Lactam Antibiotic Resistance of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Isolated From a Chinese Teaching Hospital.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery. To investigate the molecular characteristics of β-lactam antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa isolated from a hospital population between 2015 and 2017, in this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility and the resistance gene profile of the bacteria were determined. The Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to characterize the clonal relatedness and sequencing and comparative genomic analysis were performed to analyze the structure of the resistance gene-related sequences. As a result, of the 260 P. aeruginosa strains analyzed, the resistance rates for 6 β-lactam antibiotics ranged from 4.6 to 9.6%. A total of 7 genotypes of 44 β-lactamase genes were identified in 23 isolates (8.9%, 23/260). Four transconjugants from different donors carrying bla CARB-3 exhibited a phenotype of reduced susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, and cefepime, and 2 transconjugants harboring bla IMP-45 exhibited a phenotype of reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. bla CARB positive isolates (n = 12) presented six PFGE patterns, designated groups A to F. Two bla genes (bla IMP-45 and bla OXA-1) in PA1609 related to a class 1 integron (intI1-bla IMP-45- bla OXA-1-aac(6')-Ib7-catB3-qacE∆1-sul1) were encoded on a plasmid (pPA1609-475), while the bla CARB-3 gene of PA1616 also related to a class 1 integron was located on the chromosome. The results suggest that β-lactam antibiotic resistance and clonal dissemination exist in this hospital population. It indicates the necessity for molecular surveillance in tracking β-lactamase-producing strains and emphasizes the need for epidemiological monitoring.
