Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2011;31(10):898-902
Objective To evaluate the activities of 18 pairs of antimicrobials combinations against non - duplicate clinical isolates of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) in vitro.Methods Collect isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from different patients from October 2009 to May 2010,which were isolated in Clinical Laboratory Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University.Use broth microdilution method to detect MIC of mono-antimicrobial,and checkerboard broth microdilution method to detect combinatied MIC,and calculate fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index to determine drug combinations effects.When the performance of the same drug combinations conflicted,appropriate strains were selected for screening of drug-resistant mechanisms by polymerase chain reaction( PCR),including efflux pump genes.Results In tests in vitro,rifampicin and polymyxin B,imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin showed synergy at high proportion,68.1%,45.5%,40.9%,respectively.Minocycline and rifampicin,ampicillin/sulbactam and tobramycin.Ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin showed additive effect at high proportion,81.8%,68.2%,68.2%,respectively.There were several combinations which appeared the opposite effects to tested strains.Strains No.19 corresponding reaction was synergy and No.21,No.26 corresponding reactions were antagonism.The three strains above were selected for screening resistant mechanisms.The difference is that genotypes of adeS were negative in No.19 and positive in No.21 and No.26.Conclusion Rifampicin and polymyxin B combination showed synergy against the MDRAB in vitro,which can be considered as the treatment choice for critical infections caused by MDRAB.Imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin also showed synergy in vitro,but in some isolates showed antagonism.This phenomenon may be due to the gene adeS activated by certain antibiotics,and the activated adeS drived efflux pump express or overexpress,which made the drugs in bacterial cells pumped out,causing antagonistic effect.The individual differences in strains should be considered when clinic strain apply these two combinations above.

Objective To explore the correlation between ADAM33 SNP and asthma in Uygur and Han children in Urumqi. Methods Eighty-six Uygur and 111 Han children aged 3-15 years old who had asthma and lived in Urumqi were included. Meanwhile 56 Uygur and 64 Han healthy children were also included as control group. Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of V4 and T2 loci in ADAM 33 gene was performed by PCR, and verifications was made. Results There were statistical differences of V4 and T2 loci in ADAM 33 gene among asthma group and control group (P all?0.01); CC genotype frequency was high in V4 loci in asthma group; Compared with G allelic gene, C allelic gene caused a 1.51-fold increased risk of asthma (95%CI:1.10-2.09). AA genotype frequency was high in T2 loci in asthma group; Compared with G allelic gene, an allelic gene caused a 1.96-fold increased risk of asthma (95%CI:1.32-2.91). There was no difference of V4 or T2 loci in ADAM 33 gene between asthma group and control group in Han children (P all?>?0.05) while there were differences in Uygur children (P all0.05). Conclusions V4 or T2 loci in ADAM 33 gene is associated with asthma in Uygur children.

OBJECTIVE To study the antibiotic sensitivities and characterization of ?-lacamase activity and the antibiotic resistance mechanisms.METHODS The extended-spectrum ?-lactamases were detected.Agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of severel antibiotics.The plasmids of clinical isolates were cloned into competent cells(K-12).RESULTS Isoelectric focusing(IEF):The last 5 clinical isolates have all got an activity at a high pH 9 which could be presumptively identified as AmpC.The last two clinical isolates had a weak activity with pH of about 8.0,which belonged to SHV type ?-lactamases.All the isolates had a group of activities at the lower pH range of the gel(pH5).These could be presumptively identified as TEM ?-lactamases.CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that each isolate clearly originate from the same population but possess mutations that leads to antibiotic resistance.The combinations of mutations in same isolates suggest that an earlier strain have infected other compartments and become the founder for later antibiotic resistant variants.
