Abstract:
We isolated and identified the bacterial pathogen in a pyogenic balanoposthitis patient and investigated the drug resistance and its mechanism of the isolate.Urethral secretions and balanus pustule liquids were collected for microscopic examination after Gram-staining and detection of mycoplasma using Mycoplasma IST 2 kit.The two samples were inoculated on Columbia blood plate,N.gonorrhoeae selective plate and chromID Candida plate for isolation.The obtained colonies were identified by VITEK 2-compact automatic bacterial detection and analysis system.Moreover,PCR was performed to detect 16S rRNA gene of N.gonorrhoeae in the samples and colonies.KB method was applied for detecting susceptibility of five common antibiotics against the isolate.The β-lactamase and extended spectrum β-lactamase confirmatory tests were used to investigate the enzyme production of the isolate as well as drug resistance-associated tetM,TEM,mefA and ermF genes in the isolate were detected by PCR.Results showed that all the clinic samples showed negative for mycoplasma.All the isolating cultivation results of urethral secretions were negative while the balanus pustule liquids provided positive isolating cultivation in the blood and selective plates.The VITEK 2-compact system and 16S rRNA-PCR revealed that the isolated strain belongs to N.gonorrhoeae.The isolate can produce β-lactamases and resist to penicillin G,ciprofloxacin and tetracycline.The tetM,TEM,mefA and ermF genes could be found in the isolate's genome.The patient's balanoposthitis is caused by infection of N.gonorrhoeae.The multidrug resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolate is closely associated with its carried resistant genes.
