Clonal relation and antimicrobial resistance pattern of extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacter spp. isolated from different clinical samples in Tehran, Iran

Abstract: Introduction: Here, we determined the genes encoding antibiotic resistance enzymes and virulence factors and evaluated the genetic relationship between Enterobacter spp. isolated from different clinical samples. Methods: A total of 57 clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. were tested for the production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), carbapenemase, and AmpC using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Results: The most common ESBLs and AmpC β-lactamases were bla TEM (63.3%) and bla EBC (57.7%), respecti… Show more

“…This finding differs with the studies of Nepalwhich reported meropenem resistance 8.8% and imipenem resistance was 10.5%. 9,13 Higher percentage of resistance in this study may be due to higher rate of use of meropenem in our hospitals. In this study, majority of urinary Enterobacter spp.…”

“…A study in Iran reported 77.1% isolated Enterobacter as E.cloacae and 22.8% isolates as E.aerogenes. 9 Another study in China reported 68.2% blood isolates were E.cloacae and 26.4% blood isolates were E.aerogenes. 10 Most of the Enterobacter isolates (68%) were obtained from urine in this study.…”

“…Our K. aerogenes CRKA317 harbored two copies of bla AmpC gene. Several Gram-negative organisms, including E. aerogenes , Enterobacter cloacae , Serratia marcescens , Providencia stuartii , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Hafnia alvei , and Morganella morganii , have presented AmpC in their genomes ( Jacoby, 2009 ; Ghanavati et al, 2018 ; Tamma et al, 2019 ). This enzyme provides resistance against aminopenicillins, cephalosporins, oxyimino-cephalosporins (e.g., ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and ceftazidime), cephamycins (e.g., cefoxitin and cefotetan), and monobactams (aztreonam) ( Jacoby, 2009 ).…”

“…The extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistant (ESC R ) Enterobacteriaceae pose a serious infection control challenge for public health [45]. The appearance of the ESC R phenotype is mainly promoted through plasmid-mediated lateral extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC gene transfer within Enterobacteriaceae [46].…”
