Detecção de metalo-beta-lactamase em Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoladas de pacientes hospitalizados em Goiânia, Estado de Goiás

Abstract: A importância clínica dos bastonetes Gram-negativos não fermentadores (BGNNF) tem aumentado significativamente devido à gravidade da infecção, elevada taxa de morbidade e mortalidade, principalmente em pacientes hospitalizados 2 . Esse grupo de microrganismos também apresenta resistência intrínseca a vários antimicrobianos, representando um grande desafio na terapêutica. Dentre os BGNNF, Pseudomonas aeruginosa é um dos principais agentes causadores de infecção em pacientes hospitalizados em unidades de terapia… Show more

“…Dice (Tol 1.0%-1.0%) obtained in phenotypic and genotypic tests has also been reported in other studies (13) (14) and may be related to diffi culties in reading and interpreting tests, variations in the sensitivity and specifi city of the method according to the combination of substrate and chelating agent, the concentration of the chelating agent, and the presence of other resistance mechanisms that may affect the results of the phenotypic tests.…”

“…Different rates of SPM-producing P. aeruginosa isolates have been reported in Brazil, varying according to geographic region as follows: 7.5% in São Luis (5) (in Northeastern Brazil), 20.7% in Recife (4) (in Northeastern Brazil), and 42% in Goiás (13) (in Mid-west Brazil). The two SPM-1-positive isolates showed electrophoretic profi les indistinguishable from or closely related to the bla SPM-1 -positive control strains (P1088 and 365h2).…”

“…Multidrug resistance of NFGNB stems from different factors, such as up-regulated production of enzymes metabolizing the drugs, target site changes, overexpression of efflux pumps, and porin deficiency 5,6 . Metallobeta-lactamase (MBL) production, mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, stands out as a frequent cause of severe nosocomial infections 7,8 . The prevalence, phenotypic characteristics, and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of NFGNB strains may show regional variation.…”

“…As an example, one could cite rates of 10.9% in hospitals in Rio Grande do Sul, 24 20% in Rio de Janeiro -RJ, 25 and 41.9% in the state of Goiás. 26 Figueiredo-Mendes et al 27 described higher rates of this enzyme production (77.8%) among P. aeruginosa strains previously resistant to carbapenems in hospitals in São Paulo and Brasília.…”
