Spread of TEM, VIM, SHV, and CTX-M ?-Lactamases in Imipenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated from Egyptian Hospitals.

ABSTRACT: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli resulting from ?-lactamases have been reported to be an important cause of nosocomial infections and are a critical therapeutic problem worldwide. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of imipenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli isolates and detection of bla VIM, bla TEM, bla SHV, bla CTX-M-1, and bla CTX-M-9 genes in these clinical isolates in Egyptian hospitals. The isolates were collected from various clinical samples, identified by conventional methods and confirmed by API 20E. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was determined by Kirby-Bauer technique and interpreted according to CLSI. Production of bla VIM, bla TEM, bla SHV, and bla CTX-M genes was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct sequencing from PCR products was subsequently carried out to identify and confirm these ?-lactamases genes. Out of 65 isolates, (46.1%) Escherichia coli, (26.2%) Klebsiella pneumoniae, and (10.7%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified as the commonest Gram-negative bacilli. 33(50.8%) were imipenem-resistant isolates. 22 isolates (66.7%) carried bla VIM, 24(72.7%) had bla TEM, and 5(15%) showed bla SHV, while 12(36%), 6(18.2%), and 0(0.00%) harbored bla CTX-M-1, bla CTX-M-9, and bla CTX-M-8/25, respectively. There is a high occurrence of ?-lactamase genes in clinical isolates and sequence analysis of amplified genes showed differences between multiple SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) sites in the same gene among local isolates in relation to published sequences.

Project description:BackgroundGram-negative bacilli are the most common etiological agents responsible for urinary tract infections. The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli is increasing at a rapid pace globally, which is constraining the available choices for UTI treatment. The objectives of this study are to identify the most common causal organisms of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and to determine their drug resistance patterns.Materials and methodsThis was a cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted at El-Amal Hospital, Bahri Teaching Hospital, and Al-Baraha Hospital, Khartoum State, from March to October 2022. Urine samples from patients suspected to have UTI were collected, and patients with confirmed UTI by laboratory investigations and yielded culture growth were enrolled. Antibiotic sensitivity testing and PCR testing of the blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M genes were done.ResultsThis study included 50 patients with UTI out of 229 suspected patients (21.8%). The most prominent group of patients was older than 60 years (40%); the majority were females (70%). Escherichia coli was the most prevalent isolated organism (50%), followed by Klebsiella oxytoca (24%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (20%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4%), and Citrobacter freundii (2%). A small percentage of organisms were resistant to colistin (17%). However, 77% were resistant to amikacin, 97.6% to cefotaxime, 96.8% to ceftazidime, 97.6% to ceftriaxone, 96.8% to cefixime, 87.6% to ciprofloxacin, 88.4% to gentamycin, 62% to imipenem, 67.6% to meropenem, 87.6% to norfloxacin, and 95.6% to trimethoprim. The overall resistance of isolated gram-negative organisms was 81%. The most prevalent gene for the resistance was blaTEM (100%), followed by blaCTX-M (94%), and then blaSHV (84%).ConclusionEscherichia coli and Klebsiella species were the most commonly isolated uropathogens in this study, and the majority were highly resistant to most of the antimicrobial agents tested. Resistance genes blaTEM, blaCTX-M, and blaSHV are very common in uropathogens.

Project description:BackgroundThe prevalence of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) have been reported in clinical isolates obtained from various hospitals in Ethiopia. However, there is no data on the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of CTX-M type ESBL produced by Gram-negative bacilli. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of the blaCTX-M genes and the susceptibility patterns in ESBL producing clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacilli in Jimma University Specialized Hospital (JUSH), southwest Ethiopia.MethodsA total of 224 non-duplicate and pure isolates obtained from clinically apparent infections, were included in the study. Identification of the isolates was performed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Susceptibility testing and ESBL detection was performed using VITEK® 2, according to EUCAST v4.0 guidelines. Genotypic analysis was performed using Check-MDR CT103 Microarrays.ResultsOf the total 112 (50.0%) isolates screen positive for ESBLs, 63.4% (71/112) tested positive for ESBL encoding genes by Check-MDR array, which corresponds to 91.8% (67/73) of the total Enterobacteriaceae and 10.3% (4/39) of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli. Among the total ESBL gene positive isolates, 95.8% (68/71) carried blaCTX-M genes with CTX-M group 1 type15 being predominant (66/68; 97.1% of CTX-M genes). The blaCTX-M carrying Enterobacteriaceae (n =?64) isolates showed no resistance against imipenem and meropenem and a moderate resistance rate against tigecycline (14.1%), fosfomycin (10.9%) and amikacin (1.6%) suggesting the effectiveness of these antibiotics against most isolates. On the other hand, all the blaCTX-M positive Enterobacteriaceae showed a multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype with remarkable co-resistances (non-susceptibility rates) to aminoglycosides (92.2%), fluoroquinolones (78.1%) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazol (92.2%).ConclusionsThis study demonstrates a remarkably high prevalence of blaCTX-M genes among ESBL-producing isolates. The high level of resistance to ?-lactam and non-?-lactam antibiotics as well as the trend to a MDR profile associated with the blaCTX-M genes are alarming and emphasize the need for routine diagnostic antimicrobial susceptibility testing for appropriate choice of antimicrobial therapy.
