Abstract
Background:
The existence of Extended Spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL) genes plays an important role in spreading B-lactam antibiotic resistance in the producing strains of these enzymes. The resistance of gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to different antimicrobial agents, especially B-lactams, has increasingly been reported.
Objective:
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of TEM-1and VEB-1 beta-lactamases gene in P. aeruginosa isolates through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.
Methods:
100 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from different clinical samples. The antibiotic susceptibility was examined by the disc diffusion method. The presence of PER-1, SHV-1 and AMPC genes was detected by PCR method.
Results:
Out of the studied P. aeruginosa isolates, 7, 9 and 37 isolates were positive for PER-1, SHV-1 and AMPC B-lactamases resistance genes, respectively. Patients with urinary infection had the most resistant isolates. All isolates (100%) were sensitive to polymyxin B.
Conclusion:
Antibiotic resistance in isolates of Pseudomonas can be caused by B-lactamases resistance genes. Noticing the increasing rate of the ESBLs producing strains, using the appropriate treatment protocol based on the antibiogram pattern of the strains is highly recommended.
