Abstract:

Objective To investigate the homology and main drug resistance mechanism of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods A total of 946 samples were collected and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. The drug sensitivity of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detected by agar dilution test. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reactionERIC-PCR was performed to analyze homology. The isolates were screened by metallo-beta-lactamae. The efflux pump of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to carbapenem antibiotics was detected by efflux pump inhibitor test. Results A total of 75 isolates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. The ERIC-PCR homology analysis showed 8 types in which A-type and B-type were the main types accounting for 34.7%26 isolates and 22.7%17 isolates), respectively. In the 75 isolates resistant to carbapenems 13 isolates were positive in metal enzyme test accounting for 17.3%. MC207110 efflux pump inhibitor could make the minimal inhibitory concentrationMIC of meropenem in 34 isolates being resistant to meropenem decreasing by 4 times or more compared with single drug therapy accounting for 63.0%. Conclusions There are mainly 2 kinds of cloning existing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa being resistant to carbapenem. The production of metallo-beta-lactamase and multi-drug resistant efflux system play important roles in the drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
