Phenotypic and molecular characterization of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Recife, State of Pernambuco, Brazil

Abstract: These results revealed that P. aeruginosa is able to accumulate different resistance and virulence factors, making the treatment of infections difficult. The identification of blaSPM-1 genes and the dissemination of clones in different hospitals, indicate the need for stricter application of infection control measures in hospitals in Recife, Brazil, aiming at reducing costs and damages caused by P. aeruginosa infections.

“…In the same concern, Minhas et al (2015) reported that 90% of all isolates showed gelatinase activity and 60% were hemolysin evidenced, by hemolysis on blood agar, 70% were found to express protease activity, while 66.67% and 83.33% were biofilm producers. Jácome et al (2012) indicated that 93.4%, 72.1% and 34.4% of P. aeruginosa strains having gelatinase, hemolysin and biofilm production activities, respectively. P. aeruginosa also produces some proteases (LasB elastase, LasA elastase and alkaline protease) which are able to destroy the protein elastin.…”

“…P. aeruginosa has different mechanisms of resistance, which generates multi-drug resistant isolates or panresistant isolates (Jácome et al, 2012). Several mechanisms of resistance which the pathogen develops include multidrug efflux pump, production of βlactamases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (Mahmoud et al, 2013) which reflect the increasing rate of multidrug resistant strains worldwide causing a serious problem in hospital settings (Lim et al, 2009).…”
