RESULTS: In total, 59 Enterobacterales isolates including 41 (69.5%) Enterobacter species, 15 (25.4%) Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3 (5.1%) Escherichia coli were isolated respectively. Resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime was seen in all of isolates. Furthermore, all of them were multidrug-resistant (resistant to three different antibiotic categories). The phenotypic tests showed that 100% of isolates were ESBL-positive. Moreover, AmpC production was observed in 84.7% (n = 50/59) of isolates. Among 59 ESBL-positive isolates, the highest percentage belonged to blaCTX-M-15 gene (66.1%) followed by blaCTX-M (45.8%), blaCTX-M-14 (30.5%), blaSHV (28.8%), and blaTEM (13.6%). The frequency of blaDHA, blaEBC, blaMOX and blaCIT genes were 24%, 24%, 4%, and 2% respectively. ERIC-PCR analysis revealed that Enterobacterales isolates were genetically diverse. The remarkable prevalence of MDR Enterobacterales isolates carrying ESBL and AmpC beta-lactamase genes emphasizes that efficient surveillance measures are essential to avoid the more expansion of drug resistance amongst isolates.
结果:总计,59株肠杆菌,包括41种(69.5%)肠杆菌,分离肺炎克雷伯菌15株(25.4%),大肠埃希菌3株(5.1%)。在所有分离株中均可见对头孢他啶和头孢噻肟的抗性。此外,所有患者均具有多重耐药(对3种不同的抗生素具有耐药性).表型检测显示100%的分离株为ESBL阳性。此外,在84.7%(n=50/59)的分离物中观察到AmpC产生。在59个ESBL阳性分离株中,blaCTX-M-15基因比例最高(66.1%),其次是blaCTX-M基因(45.8%),blaCTX-M-14(30.5%),blaSHV(28.8%),和blaTEM(13.6%)。BlaDHA的频率,blaEBC,blaMOX和blaCIT基因为24%,24%,4%,分别为2%。ERIC-PCR分析显示肠杆菌分离株具有遗传多样性。携带ESBL和AmpCβ-内酰胺酶基因的MDR肠杆菌分离株的显着流行强调,有效的监测措施对于避免分离株中耐药性的进一步扩大至关重要。
