Abstract:
Objective To investigate the carbapenemases and integrons in imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods One hundred and three Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from Janurary 2008 to March 2010 in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. The identification of strains and antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed by using Vitek-2 compact automatic system. Isolates of imipenem-resistant A. baumannii were screened for carbapenemases by modified Hodge test, improved threedimensional test and 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Isolates were then subjected to the multiplex PCR targeting genes encoding for OXA type carbapenemases, metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and integrases. The variable regions of integrons were amplificated and sequenced. Results Among the 103 isolates, 75 (72. 8% ) demonstrated positive in the modified Hodge test, 80 (77.7%)were positive in the improved three-dimensional test. No MBLs was found in the 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Eightyfour isolates were positive for blaOXA-51-like, blaOXA-23-like, and intI1; five were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-23-like ;eight were positive for blaOXA-51-like and int11 ;two were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-24-like ;four were only found positive for blaOXA-51-like. The blaOXA-58-like, IMP-1, VIM-2 and intI2 genes were all negative. Eighty-nine(96. 7% )of the intI1 positive strains owned the variable region. Two different cassettes arrangements were identified within class 1 integrons:81 isolates harbored aacA4-catB8-aadAI (2 300 bp) and 8 harbored aacCl-orX-orfX-orX'-aadAla (3 000 bp ) . Conclusion The presence of OXA-23 carbapenermase and class Ⅰ integrons are correlated with Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems and multi-drug resistance.
