Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs)genes of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) isolates in our hospital, with an attempt to provide evidence for rational clinical antibiotics use. Mothods A total of 42 strains of ESBL-KP were isolated from January 2007 to January 2008 in our hospital The expressions of 9 AMEs including aac (3)-Ⅰ , aac (3)-Ⅱ , aac (3)-l, aac (3)-Ⅳ, aac (6')- Ⅰ , aac (6')-Ⅰ, apb (3')-Ⅵ, ant (3")-Ⅰ, and ant (2") -Ⅰ were identified by polymerase chain reaction. Results The positive rates of aac (3) - Ⅱ, ant (3") - Ⅰ ,aac (6') - Ⅰ , apb (3') -Ⅵ, and aac (3) - Ⅰ were 85. 7%, 59. 5%, 21.4% , 9. 5%, and 7. 1% , respectively. All the other genotypes were negative. The positive rate of AMEs reached 90. 5% (38 of 42). Conclusions The expression rates of AMEs genes are high among ESBL-KP isolates in our hospital. The aminoglycoside resistance may be relevant with AMEs.
