OBJECTIVETo observe the release of DNA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) induced by different concentrations of piperacillin/tazobactam (Piper) in vitro.
METHODSThe minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Piper against 1244 strain (ATCC 27317) of P. aeruginosa were determined, respectively. This strain of P. aeruginosa was separately cultured with Piper in different concentrations at 37 degrees C for 4 h and 24 h. The samples of cultural supernatant were filtered and electrophoresis was conducted in 1.8% agarose with SYBR Gold stain. Then the images of the gel sheets were photographed.
RESULTSThis strain of P. aeruginosa was sensitive to Piper. The bacterial DNA was not detected in 4-h cultured P. aeruginosa either with or without Piper by this method. The bacterial DNA molecules could be detected in 24 h samples in cultures without Piper, and they were displayed in two zones of molecular weight over 2000 base pairs (bp) and lower than 100 bp. Similar results were observed when the MIC of piper (0.002, 0.004 g/L) were under the MIC measured at the 3rd time (0.008 g/L), but there was much more bacterial DNA with molecular weight lower than 100 bp. When Piper concentration was higher than its MIC, only smaller quantities of bacterial DNA in the area with molecular weight lower than 400 bp could be detected in 24-h culture samples.
CONCLUSIONA certain amount of bacterial DNA was released from P. aeruginosa under its natural growth circumstance. Different concentrations of Piper showed different effects on DNA release, in regard to its quantity and molecular weight, from P. aeruginosa cultures.

2.In-Vitro Efficacy of Synergistic Antibiotic Combinations in Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains.
Yonsei Medical Journal 2010;51(1):111-116
PURPOSE: Combination antibiotic treatment is preferred in nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In vitro synergism tests were used to choose the combinations which might be used in clinic. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic efficacy of synergistic antibiotic combinations in multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Synergistic efficacies of ceftazidime-tobramycin, piperacillin/tazobactam-tobramycin, imipenem-tobramycin, imipenem-isepamycin, imipenem-ciprofloxacin and ciprofloxacin-tobramycin combinations were investigated by checkerboard technique in 12 multiple-resistant and 13 susceptible P. aeruginosa strains. RESULTS: The ratios of synergy were observed in ceftazidime-tobramycin and piperacillin/tazobactam-tobramycin combinations as 67%, and 50%, respectively, in resistant strains, whereas synergy was not detected in other combinations. The ratios of synergy were observed in ceftazidime-tobramycin, piperacillin/tazobactam-tobramycin, imipenem-tobramycin, imipenem-ciprofloxacin and imipenem-isepamycin combinations as 31%, 46%, 15%, 8%, 8%, and respectively, in susceptible strains, whereas synergy was not detected in ciprofloxacin-tobramycin combination. Antagonism was not observed in any of the combinations. CONCLUSION: Although the synergistic ratios were high in combinations with ceftazidime or piperacillin/tazobactam and tobramycin, the concentrations in these combinations could not usually reach clinically available levels. Thus, the solution of the problems caused by multiple resistant P. aeruginosa should be based on the prevention of the development of resistance and spread of the causative agent between patients.

3.Trends in Drug Resistance ofover a 10-year Period: Nationwide Data from the China Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance Program.
Chinese Medical Journal 2017;130(6):659-664
BACKGROUNDAcinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important pathogen causing a variety of infections. Using data from the China Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance Program conducted biennially, we investigated the secular changes in the resistance of 2917 isolates of A. baumannii from 2004 to 2014 to differ antimicrobial agents.
METHODSPathogen samples were collected from 17 to 20 hospitals located in the eastern, central, and western regions of China. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by a 2-fold agar dilution method, and antimicrobial susceptibility was established using the 2014 Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute-approved breakpoints. Isolates not susceptible to all the tested aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, β-lactams, β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitors and carbapenems were defined as extensively drug resistant.
RESULTSThe rates of nonsusceptibility to common antimicrobial agents remained high (>65%) over the years with some fluctuations to certain agents. The prevalence of imipenem-resistant A. baumannii (IRAB) increased from 13.3% in 2004 to 70.5% in 2014 and that of extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii (XDRAB) increased from 11.1% in 2004 to 60.4% in 2014. The activity of tigecycline was stable with MIC90 ≤4 mg/L against A. baumannii from 2009 to 2014. Susceptibility to colistin remained high (97.0%) from 2009 to 2014. The prevalence of XDRAB increased in all the three surveillance regions over the years and was significantly higher in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) wards than non-ICU wards.
CONCLUSIONSThis longitudinal multicenter surveillance program revealed the nationwide emergence of A. baumannii in China and showed a significant increase in prevalence from 2004 to 2014. High levels of bacterial resistance were detected among samples collected from clinical settings in China, with IRAB and XDRAB being especially prevalent. This study will help to guide empirical therapy and identify at-risk groups requiring more intense interventional infection control measures, while also helping to focus surveillance efforts.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of drug resistance of carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in burn patients and the antimicrobial activity of a combination of drugs against this bacteria in vitro.
METHODSA total of 135 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) from wound excretion, sputum, and venous catheter wall of patients hospitalized in our department from January 2011 to July 2013 were collected individually. Drug resistance of 135 strains of AB to 12 antibiotics commonly-used in clinic was detected using K-B paper diffusion method. Among the CRAB strains, double-disk synergy test was used to screen metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing strains, and the drug resistance rates between MBL-producing strains and non-MBL-producing strains were compared. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), 50% MIC (MIC50), and 90% MIC (MIC90) of cefoperazone/sulbactam, imipenem, cefepime, ampicillin/sulbactam, and amikacin used alone against MBL-producing CRAB were determined by broth microdilution method. MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of amikacin respectively combined with imipenem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, or ampicillin/sulbactam against MBL-producing CRAB were determined by checkerboard method with diluted agar. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was calculated to determine the antibacterial effect of each combination of two antibiotics. Synergy with FIC lower than or equal to 0.5, or additivity with FIC higher than 0.5 and lower than or equal to 1.0 was regarded as effective, and indifference with FIC higher than 1.0 and lower than or equal to 2.0 or antagonism with FIC higher than 2.0 was regarded as ineffective. The effective rate was calculated. Data were processed with Chi-square test.
RESULTSThe resistant rates of the 135 strains of AB to imipenem, meropenem, and ceftazidime were high, and those of piperacillin/tazobactam and ampicillin/sulbactam were low. A total of 120 strains of CRAB was screened, accounting for 88.89%, among which the MBL-producing strains accounted for 78.33% (94/120). The resistant rates of MBL-producing strains to piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin, and cefepime were respectively 59.5%, 87.2%, 93.5%, 87.0%, 86.0%, and they were significantly higher than those of non-MBL-producing strains (respectively 43.0%, 81.3%, 87.5%, 78.4%, 64.0%, with χ(2) values from 4.571 to 8.260, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Among the inhibition concentrations of each of the 5 antibiotics used alone against MBL-producing strains, MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of ampicillin/sulbactam were the lowest, respectively 4.00, 16, 64 µg/mL, while those of cefepime were high, respectively 32.00, 128, 512 µg/mL. MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of amikacin combined with each of the other 4 antibiotics were decreased from 50.00% to 98.44% as compared with that of single administration of each antibiotic. Among the 94 strains of MBL-producing CRAB, the synergic, additive, indifferent, and antagonistic effects were respectively observed in 40, 33, 6, and 15 strains applied with combination of amikacin and ampicillin/sulbactam; 42, 30, 5, 17 strains applied with combination of amikacin and cefoperazone/sulbactam; 38, 15, 19, 22 strains applied with combination of amikacin and cefepime; 34, 2, 37, 21 strains applied with combination of amikacin and imipenem, among which the antibacterial effective rates decreased successively, respectively 77.7%, 76.6%, 56.4%, and 38.3%. The former two rates were respectively significantly higher than the latter two rates (with χ(2) values from 8.618 to 29.889, P values below 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSProduction of MBL is the main mechanism of resistance of the CRAB isolated from burn patients hospitalized in our department against carbapenems in about 3 years. The antibacterial effects of amikacin combined with each of the former-mentioned 4 agents are better than those of each of the five antibiotics used singly, and the effects are particularly obvious when combining amikacin with compound agent containing enzyme inhibitors.

OBJECTIVE:
To survey antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Changsha and to investigate molecular epidemiological characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.
METHODS:
A total of 205 non-duplicated, clinical isolates of Acinetabacter baumannii from 10 general hospitals in Changsha were collected from March 2010 to December 2010. The K-B disk diffusion method was applied for the drug-susceptibility test; a modified, double-disk synergy test was used to detect metallo-β-lactamase (MBL), and a modified Hodge test was used for the screening of carbapenemase. PCR was used to amplify carbapenemase genes (including OXA-23, OXA-24, OXA-51, IMP-1, and VIM-2) and the positive products were sequenced. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR) was used for DNA typing and test of homology.
RESULTS:
Of the 18 antibiotics tested, 14 had a high rate of resistance (>50% of the isolates tested), with piperacillin the highest (80.5% of strains), and cefoperazone/sulbactam the lowest (2.5%). In total, 115 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains were confirmed, but their MBL phenotype and genes were all negative. Seventy-one positive strains were detected by the modified Hodge test, among which 64 strains were OXA-23-positive. All the 115 strains were positive for the amplification of the OXA-51 gene, and no strain was found which carried OXA-24 or OXA-58 gene. Seven genomic types were included in the 115 Acinetobacter baumannii. The major prevalence types were Type B ( 72 strains) and Type A (19 strains).
CONCLUSION
Multiple drug resistance of clinically isolated Acinetobacter baumannii is a serious problem in Changsha. Production of OXA-23 and OXA-51 carbapenemases is an important mechanism of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, and there is prevalence of the same clones in these carbapenem-resistant strains.

BACKGROUND: Bacteroides fragilis group organisms are the most frequently isolated anaerobes in human infections. Increasing resistance to various antimicrobial agents is a significant problem in choosing appropriate antimicrobial agents to treat anaerobic infections. Periodic monitoring of the regional resistance trends of B. fragilis group isolates is needed. METHODS: A total of 466 nonduplicate clinical isolates of B. fragilis group organisms (276 B. fragilis, 106 Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and 84 other B. fragilis group organisms) were collected during the 8-yr period from 1997 to 2004 in a Korean university hospital. Minimum inhibitory concentrations to various antimicrobial agents were determined by the CLSI agar dilution method. RESULTS: Eight isolates were resistant to imipenem. Additionally, the resistance rates to cefotetan were decreased in B. thetaiotaomicron, while those for clindamycin were significantly increased compared to the rates found in previous studies. Depending on species, resistance rates were 1-4% for imipenem, 1-6% for piperacillin-tazobactam, 4-11% for cefoxitin, 33-49% for piperacillin, 14-60% for cefotetan, and 51-76% for clindamycin. No isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol or metronidazole. CONCLUSIONS: Piperacillin-tazobactam, cefoxitin, imipenem, chloramphenicol, and metronidazole are still active against B. fragilis group isolates, while clindamycin no longer has a value as an empirical therapeutic agent in Korea. Furthermore, this study identified the first imipenem-resistant B. fragilis group isolates in Korea.

Objective: To study the incidence of bloodstream infections, pathogen distribution, and antibiotic resistance profile in patients with hematological malignancies. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2021, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics, pathogen distribution, and antibiotic resistance profiles of patients with malignant hematological diseases and bloodstream infections in the Department of Hematology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University. Results: A total of 582 incidences of bloodstream infections occurred in 22,717 inpatients. From 2018 to 2021, the incidence rates of bloodstream infections were 2.79%, 2.99%, 2.79%, and 2.02%, respectively. Five hundred ninety-nine types of bacteria were recovered from blood cultures, with 487 (81.3%) gram-negative bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Eighty-one (13.5%) were gram-positive bacteria, primarily Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecium, whereas the remaining 31 (5.2%) were fungi. Enterobacteriaceae resistance to carbapenems, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone sodium/sulbactam, and tigecycline were 11.0%, 15.3%, 15.4%, and 3.3%, with a descending trend year on year. Non-fermenters tolerated piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone sodium/sulbactam, and quinolones at 29.6%, 13.3%, and 21.7%, respectively. However, only two gram-positive bacteria isolates were shown to be resistant to glycopeptide antibiotics. Conclusions: Bloodstream pathogens in hematological malignancies were broadly dispersed, most of which were gram-negative bacteria. Antibiotic resistance rates vary greatly between species. Our research serves as a valuable resource for the selection of empirical antibiotics.

Chinese Medical Journal 2009;122(9):1092-1096
BACKGROUNDAmpC beta-lactamases and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are becoming predominant causes of resistance to third and forth-generation cephalosporins in Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). It is very difficult to treat infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. The purpose of the present study was to investigate transconjugation and characteristics of beta-lactamase genes in K. pneumoniae producing AmpC beta-lactamases and ESBLs.
METHODSAmpC beta-lactamases were detected by three-dimension test and ESBLs by disc confirmatory test. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by agar dilution. Transfer of resistance to EC600 (Rif(r)) was attempted by conjugation in broth and screened on agar containing cefotaxime (2 microg/ml) plus rifampin (1024 microg/ml). The genes encoding AmpC or ESBLs and their transconjugants were detected by PCR and verified by DNA sequencing.
RESULTSThe resistant rates to ampicillin and piperacillin were 100% in 18 isolates of K. pneumoniae. However, imipenem was still of great bactericidal activity on K. pneumoniae, and its MIC(50) was 0.5 microg/mL. Eleven beta-lactamase genes, including TEM-1, TEM-11, SHV-13, SHV-28, CTX-M-9, CTX-M-22, CTX-M-55, OXA-1, LEN, OKP-6 and DHA-1, were found from 18 isolates. And at least one beta-lactamase gene occurred in each isolate. To our surprise, there were six beta-lactamase genes in the CZ04 strain. Among 18 isolates of K. pneumoniae, the partial resistant genes in 8 isolates were conjugated successfully, which had 100% homological sequence with donors by sequence analysis. Compared with donors, 8 transconjugants had attained resistance to most beta-lactams, including ampicillin, piperacillin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime and aztreonam, or even amikacin and gentamicin.
CONCLUSIONSR plasmids can be easily transferred between the resistant and sensitive negative bacilli. It is very difficult to block and prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance. So more attention should be paid to reducing the frequency, times and dosage of antimicrobials, especially third or fourth cephalosporins.

BACKGROUND: Periodic monitoring of antimicrobial resistance trends of clinically important anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis group organisms is required. We determined the antimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical isolates of B. fragilis group organisms recovered from 2009 to 2012 in a tertiary-care hospital in Korea. METHODS: A total of 180 nonduplicate clinical isolates of B. fragilis group organisms were collected in a tertiary care hospital. The species were identified by conventional methods: the ATB 32A rapid identification system (bioMerieux, France) and the Vitek MS matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (bioMerieux). Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the CLSI agar dilution method. RESULTS: Imipenem and meropenem resistance rates were 0-6% for B. fragilis group isolates. The rate of resistance to piperacillin-tazobactam was 2% for B. fragilis and 0% for other Bacteroides species, but 17% for B. thetaiotaomicron isolates. High resistance rates to piperacillin (72% and 69%), cefotetan (89% and 58%), and clindamycin (83% and 69%) were observed for B. thetaiotaomicron and other Bacteroides spp. The moxifloxacin resistance rate was 27% for other Bacteroides spp. The MIC50 and MIC90 of tigecycline were 2-4 microg/mL and 8-16 microg/mL, respectively. No isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol or metronidazole. CONCLUSIONS: Imipenem, meropenem, chloramphenicol, and metronidazole remain active against B. fragilis group isolates. Moxifloxacin and tigecycline resistance rates are 2-27% and 8-15% for B. fragilis group isolates, respectively.
