Emerge of bla NDM-1 and bla OXA-48-like harboring carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from hospitalized patients in southwestern Iran

Abstract: This is the first identification of bla and bla in K. pneumoniae in Southwestern Iran and the highest reported prevalence of bla in this bacterium from Iran. Since carbapenem-resistant isolates containing New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) were almost resistant to all the tested antibiotics, the resistance due to this gene may be increased in the near future as a potential health threat.

“…The highest antibiotic resistance was observed for cephalosporins and carbapenems while the least resistance to colistin and trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole. In the present study, the rate of antibiotic resistance with some variation which may arise from the source of infections and geographical distribution was comparable with the previous reported studies in Iran (18,20,26,27). The administration of multiple antibiotics has been reported as a risk factor for carbapenem resistance acquisition (28).…”

“…The first report of OXA-48 gene in Iran was by Azimi et al in Tehran 2014, in 27 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates recovered from burn patients (1). It was subsequently re-identified in Iran (20,27). The widespread prevalence of OXA-48-positive carbapenem resistant K. pneumoniae strains has been reported in several Asian and European countries including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, China, Russia and France which has become an expanding problem (11,32,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42).…”

“…Using PCR, 40 (74%) of these isolates were found to contain a carbapenemaseencoding gene. These results of CIM are consistent with other findings stated by some other researches [14,[15][16][17][18][19]. With respect to our research, CIM for the first time in Iran was found to be very efficient and low-cost in the recognition of carbapenemaseproducing K. pneumoniae isolates.…”

“…CIM. Phenotype OXA-48-positive in KPC strains has been stated in several regions, including France, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and China, and can be a serious concern in hospital settings [17]. In our study, a small number of carbapenem-resistant isolates lacked the targeted genes.…”
