Análisis de expresión de los genes AmpC y oprD en aislados clínicos 1 de Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistentes a betalactámicos en un hospital de tercer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract: ABSTRACT.-Innate and acquired antibiotic resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas present a challenge for clinicians looking for timely and effective chemotherapy. This is particularly important in critical care hospital settings. This study is aimed at achieving a deeper understanding of two of the most important drug resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the molecular level. One hundred clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were obtained from a tertiary level hospital in Quito, Ecuador. Expres… Show more

“…Our study further provided evidence that oprD expression was reduced in the non-disruptive mutant isolates. Studies have suggested that more than 50% of isolates have consistent characteristics of MBL and oprD [20]. Our study also showed a similar trend of both impaired MBLs production and mutated oprD sequence, which further supported this opinion.…”
