Ceftazidime-hydrolysing CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) in Poland

Abstract: The CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) was recently identified in Enterobacteriaceae isolates in India, and demonstrated significant hydrolytic activity against ceftazidime, in contrast to the majority of CTX-M enzymes. CTX-M-15 differs from CTX-M-3, which is one of the most prevalent ESBLs in Poland, by only a single amino acid change (Asp-240-->Gly). Three cefotaxime- and ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates, recovered during 1998-2000 in two Polish hospitals, were found to produce… Show more

“…We observed that CTX-M was the most common ESBL type in Norwegian E. coli (90%) isolates. This is consistent with the emergence of CTX-M-producing E. coli strains worldwide (2,5,7,8,9,28).…”

“…However, there has been a recent report of CTX-M-15 exhibiting high enzyme activity against ceftazidime as well as cefotaxime [19]. The isolate described in this study similarly exhibited a high-level resistance to cefotaxime (MIC, >256 μ g/mL), ceftazidime (MIC, 64 μ g/mL), and aztreonam (MIC, >256 μ g/mL), as determined by E tests.…”

“…The relatedness of the increase and the finding that bla CTX-M-14 was located on plasmids need further investigation. The remaining sporadic ESBLs were only rarely reported in other countries (2,6,11,19). Due at least in part to the busy international travel between Taiwan and foreign countries, we now see the presence of these rare ESBLs in Taiwan.…”
