Investigation of Oxacillinase Genes in Nosocomial Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates by Multiplex PCR and Evaluation of Their Clonal Relationship with Rep-PCR

Abstract: ÖZHastanede yatan hastalarda morbidite ve mortalitesi yüksek enfeksiyonlara yol açan Acinetobacter baumannii, önemli bir nozokomiyal patojendir. Birçok antibiyotik sınıfına, özellikle de karbapenemlere direnç geliştirmesi nedeniyle A.baumannii ciddi bir klinik problem haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çok ilaca dirençli (ÇİD) A.baumannii suşlarında karbapenem direncinden sorumlu oksasilinaz genlerinin araştırılması ve bu suşlar arasındaki klonal ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmaya, Şubat-Mart 2012 t… Show more

“…In our study, CRAB was isolated from clinical samples, surveillance cultures and the environment. As a result of the analysis of these CRAB strains, all of them possessed the bla OXA-51 gene and bla OXA-23 gene, and none of them harboured the bla OXA-40 and bla OXA-58 genes, similar to previous studies from our region [21,22] . The bla OXA-51 gene is an intrinsic chromosomal gene naturally occurring in all A. baumannii strains [8,23] .…”

“…Among various mechanisms of carbapenem resistance OXA enzymes have become one of the main sources of resistance in recent years [7] . OXA-23 enzymes spread to many worldwide locations including Europe (including Turkey), Asia, and South America [22][23][24][25][26][27] . Between 1999 and 2009, CRAB isolates from several Mediterranean countries, including Greece, Turkey and Italy, predominantly carried the bla OXA-58 carbapenemase gene.…”

“…A renewed interest in the usage of polymyxins has been observed as these are the only treatment option left for multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pan-drug-resistant pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii , Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1 2 . In recent years, A. baumannii has become a serious concern, especially in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs), because of the development of resistance to many antibiotics including carbapenems.…”
