Molecular investigation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes and potential drug resistance in clinical isolates ofMorganella morganii

Abstract: BACKGROUNDResistance to beta-lactam antibiotics has become more common in Morganella morganii, which can cause of outbreaks of bacteremia and septicemia in postoperative patients.OBJECTIVEInvestigate drug susceptibility of M morganii, identify the gene responsible for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production and explore treatment options.DESIGNDescriptive study.SETTINGHospitals in An Najaf, Iraq.METHODSM morganii isolates were identified based on morphology, biochemical tests and VITEK® 2 compact sys… Show more

“…It works by interacting with the 30s ribosomal subunit of bacteria, triggering mRNA misreading and preventing the bacterium from synthesizing important proteins for development. This finding agrees with (24), who found that (88.2%) of insulates were resistant to pefloxacin and (64.7%) of isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin. (76.5%) of insulates were impedance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, while (94.1%) were impedance to minocycline, (25) observed that all insulates were impedance to both colistin and rifampicin.…”

“…In Morganella morganii , the prevalence of the three ESBL genes was relatively high with the TEM gene being the most prevalent. Al-Muhanna, Al-Muhanna & Alzuhari (2016) also showed that all Morganella morganii isolates tested for the ESBL had all the genes. Morganella morganii produces an inducible, chromosomally encoded AmpC β-lactamse, which can be implicated for its natural resistance to aminoopenicillins, amoxicillin-clavulanate, first and second generation cephalosporins with aztreonam, carbenicillin, and tazobactam being effective transient inactivators of some variants ( Power et al, 2006 ).…”

“…It is worth mentioning that ESBL producers co-resistant to non-beta lactam antibiotics is of special interest in this category; this is in view of the narrow choice of antibiotics that could be used in this category of patients (Al-Mayahie, 2013). Furthermore, in this country, CTX-M, SHV, TEM, and OXA ESBLs were described in clinical isolates of Morganella morganii with high resistance toward minocycline, trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin (Al-Muhanna et al, 2016). In parallel, VEB, PER, and OXA-10 were detected in high risk strains of P. aeruginosa : ST244, ST235, ST308, and ST654 (van Burgh et al, 2018).…”
