METALLO β-LACTAMASE DETECTION IN PSUEDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATES FROM VARIOUS CLINICAL SAMPLES IN NCR REGION.
Abstract
Background: Acquired drug resistance has been reported in Pseudomonas spp by the production of plasmid-mediated AmpC-β-lactamase, Extended Spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) and Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzymes. Carbapenems, being the most potent and reserved drug for treating infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria especially Pseudomonas spp is under threat due to the emergence of MBL producing Pseudomonas. aeruginosa. Thus the study was undertaken to study Metallo- β-lactamase (MBL) production among isolates of P. aeruginosa to know their dissemination and thereby proper and judicious selection of antibiotics. Methods: 112 isolates of P. aeruginosa were obtained from various clinical samples that were subjected to susceptibility testing to antipseudomonal drugs as per CLSI guidelines. Isolates resistant to imipenem were screened for MBL production by Imepenem- EDTA Double Disc Synergy Test (DDST) test. Result: Of the 112 isolates of P.aeruginosa, 22% strains were imipenem resistant and 16% strains were MBL producers. Conclusion: MBL mediated carbapenem resistance in P. aeruginosa is a cause for concern in the therapy of critically ill patients. Simple DDST can be done to help to monitor these emerging resistant determinants.
