Evaluation of Methods To Identify the Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase in Enterobacteriaceae

Abstract: The Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenem (KPC) β-lactamase occurs in Enterobacteriaceae and can confer resistance to all β-lactam agents including carbapenems. The enzyme may confer low-level carbapenem resistance, and the failure of susceptibility methods to identify this resistance has been reported. Automated and nonautomated methods for carbapenem susceptibility were evaluated for identification of KPC-mediated resistance. Ertapenem was a more sensitive indicator… Show more

“…The plates were then incubated at 37˚C for 24 hours. Positivity for carbapenem was inferred when there is the appearance of a clover leaf type indentation or flattening at the intersection of the test organism and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 within the zone of inhibition of the carbapenem susceptibility disc as described by Anderson and recommended by CLSI [6] [7]. Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC ® BAA-1705-MHT positive and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC ® BAA-1706-MHT negative were used as positive and negative controls for MHT respectively [6].…”

“…Para pesquisa fenotípica de KPC, as bactérias foram descongeladas e submetidas a crescimento em ágar sangue de carneiro e subsequente repique. Com o segundo crescimento foram executadas duas metodologias: discodifusão com carbapenens e teste de Hodge modificado (1) . O disco empregado no referido teste é o ertapenem, pois há relatos de que a sensibilidade e a especificidade para KPC são maiores no emprego deste (90% a 100% e 81% a 93%, respectivamente) em relação aos demais carbapenens (7) .…”

“…As metodologias usadas para rastreamento de KPC são diversificadas: focalização isoelétrica, discodifusão, E-test (2) e teste de Hodge modificado (1) . Pode-se ainda pesquisar o gene bla KPC por reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) ou ribotipagem.…”

“…O gene que codifica a enzima KPC foi identificado em plasmídeos, tendo grande potencial de disseminação. Os isolados geralmente apresentam resistência a outras classes de antimicrobianos que poderiam ser opções de tratamento (1) . O primeiro relato de KPC ocorreu na Carolina do Norte, nos Estados Unidos, em 1996.…”
