Amini MS, Baseri Salehi M, Bahador N. Evaluating the antibacterial effect of meropenem-loaded chitosan/sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) nanoparticles on Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from hospitalized patients. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:631. [PMID: 38914964 PMCID: PMC11197314 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09522-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is a health threat due to its antibiotic resistance. Herein, antibiotic susceptibility and its association with the Toxin-antitoxin (TA) system genes in A. baumannii clinical isolates from Iran were investigated. Next, we prepared meropenem-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (MP-CS) and investigated their antibacterial effects against meropenem-susceptible bacterial isolates. METHODS Out of 240 clinical specimens, 60 A. baumannii isolates were assessed. Antibiotic resistance of the isolates against conventional antibiotics was determined alongside investigating the presence of three TA system genes (mazEF, relBE, and higBA). Chitosan nanoparticles were characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and meropenem release activity. Their antibacterial effects were assessed using the well diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and colony-forming unit (CFU) counting. Their cytotoxic effects and biocompatibility index were determined via the MTT, LDH, and ROS formation assays. RESULTS Ampicillin, ceftazidime, and colistin were the least effective, and amikacin and tobramycin were the most effective antibiotics. Out of the 60 isolates, 10 (16.7%), 5 (8.3%), and 45 (75%) were multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR), respectively. TA system genes had no significant effect on antibiotic resistance. MP-CS nanoparticles demonstrated an average size of 191.5 and zeta potential of 27.3 mV alongside a maximum encapsulation efficiency of 88.32% and release rate of 69.57%. MP-CS nanoparticles mediated similar antibacterial effects, as compared with free meropenem, against the A. baumannii isolates with significantly lower levels of meropenem. MP-CS nanoparticles remarkably prevented A549 and NCI-H292 cell infection by the A. baumannii isolates alongside demonstrating a favorable biocompatibility index. CONCLUSION Antibiotic-loaded nanoparticles should be further designed and investigated to increase their antibacterial effect against A. baumannii and assess their safety and applicability in vivo settings.

Abstract
In the Philippines, data are scarce on the co-occurrence of multiple β-lactamases (BLs) in clinically isolated Gram-negative bacilli. To investigate this phenomenon, we characterized BLs from various β-lactam-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from a Philippine tertiary care hospital. The selected Gram-negative bacilli (n = 29) were resistant to either third-generation cephalosporins (resistance category 1 (RC1)), cephalosporins and penicillin-β-lactamase inhibitors (RC2), or carbapenems (RC3). Isolates resistant to other classes of antibiotics but susceptible to early-generation β-lactams were also selected (RC4). All isolates underwent antibiotic susceptibility testing, disk-diffusion-based BL detection assays, and PCR with sequence analysis of extended-spectrum BLs (ESBLs), metallo-BLs, AmpC BLs, and oxacillinases. Among the study isolates, 26/29 harbored multi-class BLs. All RC1 isolates produced ESBLs, with blaCTX-M as the dominant (19/29) gene. RC2 isolates produced ESBLs, four of which harbored blaTEM plus blaOXA-1 or other ESBL genes. RC3 isolates carried blaNDM and blaIMP, particularly in three of the metallo-BL producers. RC4 Enterobacteriaceae carried blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaOXA-24-like, while A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa in this category carried either blaIMP or blaOXA-24. Genotypic profiling, in complement with phenotypic characterization, revealed multi-class BLs and cryptic metallo-BLs among β-lactam-resistant Gram-negative bacilli.

Abstract
Abstract Bacteria responsible for causing infections are common in hospital environments, water, soil, and food products. The infection risk is intensified by the absence of public sanitation, poor quality of life, and food scarcity. These external factors promote the dissemination of pathogens by direct contamination or biofilm formation. In this work, we identified bacterial isolates obtained from intensive care units in the southern region of Tocantins, Brazil. We compared matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) techniques and 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) molecular analysis; we also performed phenotypic characterization. Fifty-six isolates characterized using morphotinctorial tests were classified as gram-positive (80.4%; n = 45) and gram-negative (19.6%; n = 11) and were resistant to several antibiotic classes; notably, we identified the blaOXA-23 resistance gene in the ILH10 isolate. Microbial identification using MALDI-TOF MS resulted in the identification of Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Bacillus circulans. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed four isolates belonging to the genera Bacillus and Acinetobacter. The similarity was superior to 99% for Acinetobacter schindleri in the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), grouped in the clade superior to 90%. Several strains isolated from intensive care units (ICU) were resistant to various antibiotic classes. These techniques allowed for the identification of several microorganisms of importance in public health, enabling improvements in human infection control and proving the quality of inputs, food, and water.

Abstract
Background:
Acinetobacter baumannii is known as one of the major causes of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care units and burn patients. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in burn wound bacterial pathogens is a severe health crisis. Detection of carbapenem resistance and genetic elements in A. baumannii associated with burn patients and hospital environments play a key role in the control and alerting in clinical settings.
Purpose:
In this study, the prevalence of OXA-type carbapenemases was investigated in A. baumannii strains isolated from burn patients and from a hospital environment in Tehran, 2021.
Methods:
A total of 85 non-duplicate A. baumannii isolates (53 from various surfaces of the hospital environment and 32 from burn patients) were recovered in the Burns Hospital in Tehran. The A. baumannii isolates were screened for antibiotic susceptibility and the presence of the most common OXA-type carbapenemase genes.
Results:
A. baumannii was isolated from 38.5% of hospital patient burn wounds and 22.1% of surfaces, including burn units (15.6%) and intensive care units (52.4%). Antibiotic susceptibility results showed that (100%) of burn patient isolates were resistant to imipenem, while (100%) of ICU isolates and (96.8%) of burn isolates were resistant to imipenem. All clinical isolates were identified as MDR and XDR, whereas all (100%) and 98.1% of environmental isolates were identified as MDR and XDR, respectively. All studied A. baumannii isolates carried blaOXA-51-like gene. Moreover, 50 (94.3%) and 49 (92.5%) of environmental isolates, 32 (100%) and 30 (93.7%) of burn patient isolate harbored blaOXA-23-like and blaOXA-24/40–like genes, respectively. None of the isolates carried the blaOXA-58 or blaOXA-143 genes and all isolates had at least 2 OXA-type carbapenemase genes.
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that surfaces in the hospital environment, particularly in ICUs, are contaminated with MDR or XDR A. baumannii strains. They may be considered a potential reservoir for the colonization of hospital patients. In addition, OXA-type carbapenemases, including OXA-23-like and OXA-24/40-like, appear to be one of the major mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in the clinical and environmental A. baumannii strains.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Carbapenem treatment for Acinetobacter baumannii infections presently faces threats owing to the production of several types of carbapenemase enzymes, prevalence of which varies among different countries. We explored the current trend of antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii clinical isolates from North West Iran, sought the mechanism of carbapenem resistance and addressed the sequence type groups in carbapenem resistant A. baumannii (CRAB). Materials and Methods A. baumannii (n=112) isolates were recovered from various clinical specimens of patients admitted in internal, surgery, burn, infectious diseases and various ICUs wards. Genetically confirmed A. baumannii isolates were screened for carbapenem resistance by the Kirby-Bauer and E-test and the presence of bla MBL, bla OXA-like, ISAba1 genes by PCR. Sequence groups were identified by multiplex PCR. Results Multidrug-resistance (MDR) was a characteristic feature of all A. baumannii isolates. Frequency of oxacillinase genes in combination including bla OXA-51-like/bla OXA-23-like, bla OXA-51-like/blaOXA-24/40-likeand bla OXA-51-like/bla OXA-23-like/bla OXA-24/40-like was 82.1%, 36.6% and 25.8% respectively. Blending of oxacillinase and MBL genes was evident in eight bla OXA-23-like positive and 7 bla OXA-24-like positive isolates thereby depicting synchronous etiology of carbapenem resistance. Amongst CRAB isolates, 97.3% contained ISAba1 element and 50.9% belonged to the European clone II. Conclusion Synchronicity among bla OXA-like with bla MBL and ISAba1 gene was a hallmark of this investigation. Though origin or route of transmission was not elucidated in this study but co-existence among OXA and MBL producing genes is a therapeutic concern demanding strict surveillance strategies and control programs to halt the dissemination of these isolates in the hospital setting.

Abstract
Class D β-lactamases are composed of 14 families and the majority of the member enzymes are included in the OXA family. The genes for class D β-lactamases are frequently identified in the chromosome as an intrinsic resistance determinant in environmental bacteria and a few of these are found in mobile genetic elements carried by clinically significant pathogens. The most dominant OXA family among class D β-lactamases is superheterogeneous and the family needs to have an updated scheme for grouping OXA subfamilies through phylogenetic analysis. The OXA enzymes, even the members within a subfamily, have a diverse spectrum of resistance. Such varied activity could be derived from their active sites, which are distinct from those of the other serine β-lactamases. Their substrate profile is determined according to the size and position of the P-, Ω- and β5-β6 loops, assembling the active-site channel, which is very hydrophobic. Also, amino acid substitutions occurring in critical structures may alter the range of hydrolysed substrates and one subfamily could include members belonging to several functional groups. This review aims to describe the current class D β-lactamases including the functional groups, occurrence types (intrinsic or acquired) and substrate spectra and, focusing on the major OXA family, a new model for subfamily grouping will be presented.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii, notorious for causing nosocomial infections especially in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and burn units, is best at displaying resistance to all existing antibiotic classes. Consequences of high potential for antibiotic resistance has resulted in extensive drug or even pan drug resistant A. baumannii. Carbapenems, mainly imipenem and meropenem, the last resort for the treatment of A. baumannii infections have fallen short due to the emergence of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii (CRAB). Though enzymatic degradation by production of class D β-lactamases (Oxacillinases) and class B β-lactamases (Metallo β-lactamases) is the core mechanism of carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii; however over-expression of efflux pumps such as resistance-nodulation cell division (RND) family and variant form of porin proteins such as CarO have been implicated for CRAB inception. Transduction and outer membrane vesicles-mediated transfer play a role in carbapenemase determinants spread. Colistin, considered as the most promising antibacterial agent, nevertheless faces adverse effects flaws. Cefiderocol, eravacycline, new β-lactam antibiotics, non-β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitors, polymyxin B-derived molecules and bacteriophages are some other new treatment options streamlined.

Abstract
Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing worldwide, which has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to list these bacteria in the critical priority pathogens group. Infections by such pathogens pose a serious threat to hospitalised patients and are associated with clinical and economic consequences. What worsens the case is the weak pipeline of available antimicrobial agents to treat such infections and the absence of new drugs. The aim of this review was to shed light on all studies tackling carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa in the Eastern Mediterranean region, with indication for each country, description of studies timeline, prevalence of carbapenem resistance, and carbapenem resistance-encoding genes detected in these countries.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen primarily associated with multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections, for which polymyxins are the last-resort antibiotics. This study investigated carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains exhibiting an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotype, including four isolates considered locally pan drug-resistant (LPDR), isolated from inpatients during an outbreak at a teaching hospital in Brazil. ApaI DNA macrorestriction followed by PFGE clustered the strains in three pulsotypes, named A to C, among carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains. Pulsotypes A and B clustered six polymyxin-resistant A. baumannii strains. MLST analysis of representative strains of pulsotypes A, B, and C showed that they belong, respectively, to sequence types ST1 (clonal complex, CC1), ST79 (CC79), and ST903. Genomic analysis of international clones ST1 and ST79 representative strains predicted a wide resistome for β-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, with blaOXA–23 and blaOXA–72 genes encoding carbapenem resistance. Amino acid substitutions in PmrB (Thr232Ile or Pro170Leu) and PmrC (Arg125His) were responsible for polymyxin resistance. Although colistin MICs were all high (MIC ≥ 128 mg/L), polymyxin B MICs varied; strains with Pro170Leu substitution in PmrB had MICs > 128 mg/L, while those with Thr232Ile had lower MICs (16–64 mg/L), irrespective of the clone. Although the first identified polymyxin-resistant A. baumannii strain belonged to ST79, the ST1 strains were endemic and caused the outbreak most likely due to polymyxin B use. The genome comparison of two ST1 strains from the same patient, but one susceptible and the other resistant to polymyxin, revealed mutations in 28 ORFs in addition to pmrBC. The ORF codifying an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase has gained attention due to its fatty acid breakdown and membrane fluidity involvement. However, the role of these mutations in the polymyxin resistance mechanism remains unknown. To prevent the dissemination of XDR bacteria, the hospital infection control committee implemented the patient bathing practice with a 2% chlorhexidine solution, a higher concentration than all A. baumannii chlorhexidine MICs. In conclusion, we showed the emergence of polymyxin resistance due to mutations in the chromosome of the carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii ST1, a high-risk global clone spreading in this hospital.

Abstract
Background:Acinetobacter baumannii is an increasingly important cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. In addition to the intrinsic resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii to many antibiotics, available treatment approaches with older antibiotics are significantly associated with an increase in multiresistant strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of tazobactam with meropenem and ciprofloxacin against carbapenems and drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn patients in a tertiary burn center in Tehran. Materials and methods: In this study, a total of 47 clinical isolates of A. baumannii were included from burn patients admitted to the Shahid Motahari Burns Hospital, Tehran, from June 2018 to August 2018. The disk diffusion method was used to determine resistance patterns. The synergistic effect of tazobactam with meropenem and ciprofloxacin was evaluated by determining the MIC. A PCR assay was performed to determine blaOXA-40-like, blaOXA-58-like and blaOXA-24-like. Results: Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that all of the isolates were resistant to meropenem and ciprofloxacin. The MIC values decreased in the cases of combined use of ciprofloxacin and meropenem with tazobactam. The blaOXA-24-like gene was the predominant carbapenemase gene (93.6%), followed by blaOXA-40-like, which was detected in 48.9% of isolates. None of the A. baumannii isolates harbored the blaOXA-58-like gene. Conclusions: Based on in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility in the current study, the MIC of tazobactam combined with meropenem or ciprofloxacin have been shown to be variable. Furthermore, the data acquired from such in vitro conditions should be confirmed by reliable results from sufficiently controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is recognized to be among the most difficult antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacilli to control and treat. An understanding of the epidemiology of CRAB and the mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems is necessary to develop strategies to curtail their spread. Methods: Electronic databases were searched from January 1995 to December 2017 for all studies, which: (1) provide data on the frequency and antibiotic resistance profile of the isolated A. baumannii and (2) describe the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in detail. Results: Sixty-eight studies were found referring to mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in clinical isolates of A. baumannii, and 56 studies were found referring to the frequency of CRAB. The pooled frequency of carbapenem resistance was 85.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 82.2-88.1) in 8,067 clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Resistances due to blaOXA23 (55.3%), blaOXA24 (41.4%), and blaOXA58 (5.2%) genes were the most prevalent reported mechanisms of resistance to carbapenem, respectively. Conclusions: Our data warn that CRAB will rise if the current situation remains uncontrolled. Better control infection strategies and antibiotic managements, particularly in the health care systems, are needed to limit the spread of this pathogen.

Abstract
Data on the status of carbapenem-resistant microorganisms in the Middle East countries are scarce. The aim of this review was to collect available data regarding resistance to carbapenems in a Middle East region. Available data regarding carbapenem-resistant isolates were considered for evaluation in this review. Biomedical electronic databases were systematically searched to find related articles. The key terms used were "carbapenem-resistant, resistant gram-negative bacilli, Enterobacteriaceae, fermenting and non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella and Iran". After primary screening, 275 relevant articles were selected to be assessed thoroughly. Resistance rate to carbapenems was reported between 1% and 86% during years 2006-2018. Most of the carbapenem-resistant microorganisms were isolated from burn patients. Modified Hodge test was a commonly used phenotypic test. Only in few studies, genotypic assays were considered. Pattern of antibiotic use can affect emergence of resistant microorganisms. Rational use of drugs, and specifically, antibiotics is a challenging issue in developing countries. Mean number of drugs per prescription in these countries was higher than the World Health Organization standards. Overuse of antibiotics, especially injectable ones, and easy access to antibiotics without prescription is a warning alarm for future antibiotic resistance in developing countries. Establishing antimicrobial stewardship's programs is new in the hospitals. Unfortunately, rules and regulatory issues to restrict antibiotic access in community pharmacies and prescription by general physicians are limited.

Abstract
Treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii has become a medical challenge because of the increasing incidence of multiresistant strains and a lack of viable treatment alternatives. This systematic review attempts to investigate the changes in resistance of A. baumannii to different classes of antibiotics in Iran, with emphasis on the antimicrobial activity of polymyxin B (PMB) and colistin (COL). Biomedical databases were searched for English-published articles evaluating microbiological activity of various antimicrobial agents, including PMB and COL. Then, the available data were extracted and analyzed. Thirty-one studies, published from 2009 to 2015, were identified which contain data for 3,018 A. baumannii clinical isolates. With the exception of polymyxins and tigecycline (TIG), there was a high rate of resistance to various groups of antibiotics, including carbapenems. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranges for PMB and COL on A. baumannii isolates tested were 0.12-64 μg/ml and 0.001-128 μg/ml, respectively. Polymyxins showed adequate activity with no significant trends in the resistance rate during most of the study period. The incidence of resistance to TIG was estimated low from 2% to 38.4% among the majority of A. baumannii. The present systematic review of the published literatures revealed that multidrug-resistant (including carbapenem-resistant) strains of A. baumannii have increased in Iran. In these circumstances, the older antibiotics, such as COL or PMB, preferably in combination with other antimicrobials (rifampicin, meropenem), could be considered as the therapeutic solution against the healthcare-associated infections. Designing rational dosage regimens for patients to maximize the antimicrobial activity and minimize the emergence and prevalence of resistance is recommended.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resistance to Acinetobacter baumannii is dramatically on the rise in Iran. Therefore, it is important to study resistance pattern among Acinetobacter isolates which is a common cause of nosocomial infections. AIM To investigate antibiotic resistance patterns and the role of resistant genes and biofilm formation in the induction of resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn wound and ventilator associated pneumonia infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 103 isolates such as 33 burn samples from Rasool Akram Hospital and 70 isolates from ventilated patients in Shahid Motahhari Hospital were identified with A. baumannii using biochemical method, and then identified to species level with PCR of gyrB and blaOXA-51 gene. Antibiotic sensitivity pattern for β-lactam and carbapenem antibiotics was assessed using Agar disc diffusion test and E-test. The presence of different carbapenemase and metalo-β-lactamase (blaOXA-51-like, gyrB, blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-24-like, blaOXA-58, blaVEB, blaPER, blaGIM, blaSIM, blaIMP, blaVIM), extended-spectrum β-lactamases (blaTEM, blaSHV) and two insertion sequences genes (ISaba1, IS1113) was assessed. Biofilm formation of all isolates was then assessed. Chi-square analysis or Fisher's-exact tests were used for statistical analysis. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Colistin was the most effective antimicrobial agents, although 10.7% (11/103) of the isolates were resistant. The high rate of resistance to meropenem (93.2%) and imipenem (90.3%) was determined. Also, with exception of ampicillin-sulbactam, surprisingly the resistant rate was 28.2%, the resistance to β-lactam antibiotic was dramatically increased. Co-existence of two and three blaOXA genes was also determined. The blaOXA-58 was detected in only one isolate. The blaTEM and blaOXA-23 was the most prevalent Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) gene. All isolates were biofilm producers. CONCLUSION Antibiotic resistance is increasing among A. baumannii isolates which is due to excessive use of antibiotics and also acquired resistant genes and biofilm production. Resistance to nearly all antimicrobial agents especially colistin as end choice for treatment of multiple drug resistance A. baumannii is a big concern.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen that causes major public health concern especially in hospitalized patients due to the acquisition of multidrug resistance (MDR). The aim of this study was to systematically review published data about the prevalence rate of MDR-A. baumannii (MDR-AB) from different parts of Iran and provide an overall relative frequency (RF) using meta-analysis. All available national and international databanks were searched to find published studies up to June 2016. Quality of studies was assessed by STROB and PRISMA forms. Because of the significant heterogeneity observed, random effects model was used to combine the results. STATA SE version 11.2 was used for statistical analysis. Out of the 9646 results, 37 suitable articles were extracted according to inclusion and exlusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of MDR-AB was estimated 72% annually. Relative frequency of MDR-AB in different studies varied from 22.8 to 100%. Since the prevalence of MDR-AB is higher than many other countries, measures should be taken to keep the emergence and transmission of these strains to a minimum.

Abstract
Resistance to antimicrobial agents is increasing worldwide and imposes significant life-threatening risks to several different populations, especially those in intensive care units (ICUs). Bacteria can quickly develop or acquire resistance to antimicrobial drugs, and combined with their intrinsic potential to cause disease in humans, these bacteria can become deadly. Among Gram-negative bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii is notorious as a frequent opportunistic pathogen associated with critically ill patients, and understanding the genetic basis of A. baumannii resistance to beta-lactams among patients in ICUs will result in better protocols to prevent the development of resistance as well as improved treatment regimens. In this study, we assessed 1333 patients in five ICUs, 56 of whom developed A. baumannii infections. Most of the A. baumannii isolates were resistant to beta-lactam antimicrobial drugs, specifically, 3rd- and 4th-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, and 91.1% of the isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR). The most frequent OXA gene present was OXA-23 (55.1%), which is significantly associated with MDR strains. Most of the A. baumannii isolates (76.8%) were capable of forming a biofilm. The antimicrobial drug classes that were effective against most of these isolates were polymyxins and tigecycline. The molecular profile of the isolates allowed detection of 12 different clusters comprising 2 to 8 isolates each. In conclusion, our data indicate a high incidence of resistance to carbapenems as well as MDR strains among the observed A. baumannii isolates, most of which exhibited a high prevalence of OXA-23 gene expression. Only a few selective drugs were effective, reinforcing the notion that bacterial resistance is an emerging problem that should be prioritized in every healthcare facility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The increasing prevalence and global spread of difficult-to-treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has become a serious problem. The aim of this study is to investigate the resistance patterns and tigecycline sensitivity of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acinetobacter strains that were carbapenem-resistant and collected mainly from intensive care units were included into this study. The antibiotic sensitivity/resistance of the strains to other antibiotics and tigecycline were noted. Presence of blaOXA-23, blaOXA-48, blaOXA-58, and NDM-1 was investigated by PCR. RESULTS In total, 44 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains were detected. In addition, 57% (25/44) showed resistance to netilmicin and 2% (1/43) to tigecycline. All of the strains were susceptible to colistin. blaOXA-58 was found only in one (2%) strain while blaOXA-23 was found in 14 (32%) strains. All strains were negative for blaOXA-48 and NDM-1. CONCLUSION blaOXA-23 was the main resistance pattern in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains. blaOXA-58 was present only in one strain and no blaOXA-48 was found. Tigecycline susceptibility is high and it can be a treatment option for a possible combination therapy of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, especially for those for whom colistin is contraindicated because of its toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a set of plasmid-borne, various and quickly evolving enzymes that are a main therapeutic issue now-a-days for inpatient and outpatient treatment. AIM The aim of this study was to determine multi-drug resistance (MDR) and ESBLs producing E. coli strains, prevalence of class D Carbapenemases among ESBLs producing Escherichia coli isolates from educational hospitals in Shahrekord, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains were isolated from patients with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). The agar disc diffusion test was used to characterize the antimicrobial sensitivity of the E. coli isolates. The ESBL positive strains were identified by phenotypic double-disk synergy test, by third-generation cephalosporin in combination with or without clavulanic acid. Multiplex PCR was carried out for detection of the three families of OXA-type carbapenamases including OXA-23, OXA-24, and OXA-48 in E. coli strains. RESULTS All bacterial isolates were susceptible to meropenem. Ninety isolates produced ESBL, 55 E. coli isolates from inpatients, and 35 isolates from outpatients, with a significant association (p< 0.05). The prevalence of OXA-23, OXA-24, and OXA-48 in the ESBLs producing isolates was respectively 21%, 18%, and 11% for inpatients, and 10%, 8%, and 6% for outpatients. CONCLUSION ESBL-producing E. coli isolates are also a major threat in the clinical setting. The findings of this study indicated the high occurrence of ESBLs and multiple antibiotic resistance in E. coli isolates.

[PMID: 27099638 PMCID: PMC4814728 DOI: 10.2174/1874285801610010032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2015] [Revised: 11/10/2015] [Accepted: 11/13/2015] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Imipenem-resistant multi-drug resistant (IR-MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii
has been emerged as a morbidity successful nosocomial pathogen throughout the
world.To address imipenem being yet the most effective antimicrobial
agent against A. baumannii to control outbreaks and treat patients, a
systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prevalence of
IR-MDR A. baumannii. We systematically searched Web of Science, PubMed,
MEDLINE, Science Direct, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and
Iranian databases to identify studies addressing the antibiotic resistance of
A. baumannii to imipenem and the frequency of MDR strains in Iran. Out of 58
articles and after a secondary screening using inclusion and exclusion criteria
and on the basis of title and abstract evaluation, 51 studies were selected for
analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that 55% [95% confidence interval (CI),
53.0–56.5] of A. baumannii were resistant to imipenem and 74% (95% CI,
61.3–83.9) were MDR. The MDR A. baumannii population in Iran is rapidly
changing toward a growing resistance to imipenem. Our findings highlight the
critical need for a comprehensive monitoring and infection control policy as
well as a national susceptibility review program that evaluates IR-MDR A.
baumannii isolates from various parts of Iran.

Jundishapur J Microbiol 2016; 9:e32388. [PMID: 27540456 PMCID: PMC4976075 DOI: 10.5812/jjm.32388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2015] [Revised: 10/20/2015] [Accepted: 12/02/2015] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen associated with a variety of infections. Objectives: The current study aimed to characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility, analyze the prevalence of oxacillinase and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes and molecular typing of clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Materials and Methods: A total of 124 non-repetitive isolates of A. baumannii were collected from various clinical specimens in two teaching hospitals in Ahvaz, south-west of Iran. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of imipenem, meropenem, colistin and tigecycline were determined using E-test. To screen for MBL production, double disk synergy (DDs) test and MBL E-test were performed. The presence of blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-24-like, blaOXA-51-like, blaOXA-58-like, blaVIM, blaIMP and blaSPM genes was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To identify clonal relatedness, all isolates were subjected to repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) Results: Based on disk diffusion results, the highest rate of resistance was observed in rifampin (96.8%). Colistin and polymyxin-B were the most effective agents in vitro. According to the MIC results, the rate of resistance to imipenem, meropenem, colistin and tigecycline were 78.2%, 73.4%, 0.8% and 0, respectively. Metallo-β-lactamase production was positive in 42.3% and 79.4% of the isolates by DDs test and E-test, respectively. All isolates (100%) carried blaOXA-51-like gene. According to the results of multiplex PCR, blaOXA-23-like and blaOXA-24-like genes were detected in 85.6% and 6.2% of carbapenem resistant isolates, respectively. No blaOXA-58- like, blaVIM, blaIMP and blaSPM were detected. By rep-PCR, carbapenem resistant isolates were separated into six genotypes (A to F). Genotype A (30.9%) was the most prevalent (P value < 0.001). Genotypes B and C were found in 28.9% and 26.8% of the isolates, respectively. Conclusions: The rate of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii isolates were high in this study. Since, blaOXA-58-like or MBL genes were not detected, it seems that resistance to carbapenems is related to blaOXA-23-like and blaOXA-24-like. Moreover, blaOXA-23-like was the most prevalent oxacillinase (OXA) gene. Most of the isolates belonged to one of the four dominant genotypes indicating clonal dissemination in the hospitals under study. In order to control the spread of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, infection- control strategies are needed.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important nosocomial pathogen in healthcare institutions. β-Lactamase-mediated resistance is the most common mechanism for carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii. The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern, to detect OXA encoding genes, class A, blaPER-1, and to detect the presence of ISAba1. A total of 124 A. baumannii isolates were collected from hospitalized patients in a teaching hospital in Kashan, Iran. The susceptibility of isolates to different antibiotics was determined by disk-diffusion method. PCR was used to detect blaPER-1, blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, blaOXA-51, blaOXA-58, and ISAba1 genes. All isolates were resistant to ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, and cefotaxime. All of the isolates revealed susceptibility to polymyxin B and colistin. Ninety-six percent of the isolates were extensive drug resistance (XDR), 5.6% extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), and 54.8% metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL). All isolates were positive for blaOXA-51 and ISAba1. blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, and blaOXA-58 were found in 79.8%, 25%, and 3.2%, respectively. The frequency rate of blaPER-1 gene was 52.4%. Multidrug resistant A. baumannii isolates are increasing in our setting and extensively limit therapeutic options. The high rate presence of class D carbapenemase-encoding genes, mainly blaOXA-23 carbapenemases, is worrying and alarming as an emerging threat in our hospital.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii complicates the therapy of the related infections. Hospital isolates of A. baumannii are usually multidrug-resistant. The problem is compounded by increasing resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics including carbapenems. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and distribution of bla OXA -type carbapenemases genes among A. baumannii isolates from hospitalized patients in Shiraz, Southwest Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred A. baumannii isolates were recovered from different clinical specimens in four Shiraz teaching hospitals. Isolates were detected as A. baumannii by Microgen kit and PCR with specific primers of bla OXA-51-like gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined by disk diffusion method for all the isolates. Multiplex PCR assays were performed for detection of bla OXA-23-like , bla OXA-24-like and bla OXA-58-like genes. RESULTS All the isolates were susceptible to colistin and polymyxin B. Moreover, all of them were resistant to piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ampicillin, ceftazidime, cefoxitin and aztreonam. Eighty (40%) isolates had positive results for bla OXA-23-like , 14 (7%) for bla OXA-24-like and 1 (0.5%) isolate for bla OXA-58-like . The co-existence of studied genes was detected for bla OXA-23-like plus bla OXA-24-like in nine (4.5%) isolates. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii isolates in Shiraz hospitals is high. The bla OXA-23-like gene was the most frequent carbapenemase identified among resistant A. baumannii isolated in Shiraz hospitals. The increasing incidence of A. baumannii is a serious concern, therefore control of this pathogen and taking preventive measures are emphasized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterium responsible for health care-associated infections, and it frequently develops multiple drug resistance (MDR). The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii in Iran has increased, and this may cause significant clinical problems. Therefore, in order to elucidate the development of antibiotic resistance, we performed a systematic review of the literature published on antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii reported in Iran. METHODS Thirty-six publications that met the criteria for inclusion were reviewed from an initial 87 papers. Selected papers published between 2008 and September 2014, were categorized on the basis of the sample collecting year been between 2001 and 2013. RESULTS Analysis of data revealed that, in general, there was an increase in antimicrobial resistance. During the initial time point of these studies (2001-2007) there was a high rate of resistance to all antibiotics, with the exception of carbapenems, lipopeptides, and aminoglycosides that had a low resistance rate in comparison with the others. Also, the resistance rate was increased in one group of these three antimicrobial groups from 2010 to 2013. In particular, there was an increase in resistance to carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem) from 2010-2011 and 2012-2013, whereas no significant change in the resistance rate of the other two antimicrobial groups (lipopeptides and aminoglycosides) during the study time was observed, although we did observe certain trends in amikacin (aminoglycoside group antibiotic) between 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that antimicrobial resistance of A. baumannii in Iran has increased, which may very well affect the antimicrobial resistance of this organism worldwide. Based on these results, novel prevention and treatment strategies against A. baumannii infections are warranted. Furthermore, these data may assist in revising treatment guidelines and regional policies in care units to slow the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Background: Emergence and spread of carbapenemase (blaOXA) genes in multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) forming biofilm complicated treatment of the patients infected with this microorganism particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of molecular class-D OXA carbapenemase in biofilm and non-biofilm forming strains of MDR-AB. Materials and Methods: A total of 65 strains of MDR-AB were isolated from the patients hospitalized in the ICU of two hospitals in Kerman, Iran. The isolates were identified by conventional microbiological tests as well as API 20NE assay. Antibiotic susceptibility was carried out by disk diffusion method; minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of carbapenems was measured by E-test. The presence of blaOXA genes among the isolates were studied by duplex-polymerase chain reaction and application of appropriate primers. Biofilm formation was detected by microtiter plate method. Results: The isolates were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, piperacillin, nalidixic acid and third generation cephalosporins such as tigecycline (7%; n = 5) and colistin (13%; n = 8). Among the isolates, 77% (n = 50) exhibited high MIC (265μg/mL) for imipenem. Both the blaOXA-51 and blaOXA-23 like genes coexisted in all the isolates; while, blaOXA-24/40 like gene was only detected in 29 imipenem-resistant strains (P ≤ 0.05). The blaOXA-58 like gene was not detected among the isolated strains. Quantification of biofilm introduced 23 isolates (including blaOXA-24/40 strains) with efficient attachment to microtiter plate; while, those isolates without blaOXA-24/40, or imipenem-sensitive strains formed weak or no biofilm. Conclusions: Coexistence of the blaOXA-51, blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-24/40 like genes, along with formation of strong biofilm, in MDR-AB strains particularly with indiscriminate use of imipenem, complicated treatment of the patients infected with these bacteria in the hospitals understudy.

Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns and Prevalence of blaPER-1 and blaVEB-1 Genes Among ESBL-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates in West of Iran. Jundishapur J Microbiol 2014; 7:e8888. [PMID: 25147662 PMCID: PMC4138671 DOI: 10.5812/jjm.8888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2012] [Revised: 01/23/2013] [Accepted: 03/14/2013] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Resistance of P. aeruginosa strains to the broad-spectrum cephalosporins may be caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns and prevalence of PER-1 and VEB-1 type genes among ESBL producing strains of P. aeruginosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 106 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from two university hospitals in Hamadan, Iran, during a7-month study (2009). The antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was determined by disc diffusion method and interpreted according to the clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI) recommendations. Production of ESBL was determined by combined disk test and presence of PER-1 and VEB-1 type ESBL genes was identified by PCR. RESULTS The resistance against broad-spectrum cephalosporins and monobactames were: cefepime (97%), cefotaxime (92.5%) ceftazidime (51%), and aztreonam (27%). Ciprofloxacin (91.5%), imipenem (84.9%) and meropenem (82.1%) were the most effective anti-pseudomonas agents in this study. The results revealed that 88.7% of the isolates were multidrug resistant, 58.25% of those were ESBL positive. Sixteen (26.6%), 9 (15%) and 3 (5%) strains among ESBL-producing strains contained blaPER-1, blaVEB and blaPER-1-blaVEB, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study highlighted the need to establish antimicrobial resistance surveillance networks for P. aeruginosa to determine the appropriate empirical treatment regimens. The high prevalence of multidrug resistance and production of ESBLs in P. aeruginosa isolates confirms the necessity of protocols considering these issues in the hospitals.
