Abstract

There has been an important resistance problem to various beta-lactam antibiotics in Acinetobacter baumannii strains which cause nosocomial infections. In this study, isoelectric points of beta-lactamase enzymes of 60 strains of A. baumannii isolated from various clinical specimens were investigated by polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Beta-lactamase enzymes of the isolates were estimated by evaluating their susceptibility to beta-lactam group antibiotics and isoelectric points (pl). The presence of beta-lactamase enzymes was detected in all of the A. baumannii species included in the study. Beta-lactamase band was observed in 50 species by IEF method, but couldn't be shown in the other 10 isolates. However, the presence of beta-lactamase which shows spreading type around loading space without band formation was detected in all of the strains. Isoelectric points in 29 of the 50 isolates with band formation were 5.4, 8 were 6.3 and 13 were 6.3 and 5.4. According to antibiotic susceptibility and isoelectric points, 6 phenotypes were observed. We suggest that phenotype I was either ACE + TEM-1 or PER-1; phenotype 2 was ACE + CARB-5; phenotype 3 was ACE; phenotype 4 was either an over synthesis of ACE or a new beta-lactamase; phenotype 5 was ACE + TEM-1 ; phenotype 6 was either ACE + TEM-1 or PER-1 + CARB-5. Every phenotype was divided into subgroups according to their resistance to imipenem, except phenotype 5. As well as beta-lactamases, changes in porins and penicillin binding proteins were considered to be responsible for the resistance of A. baumannii strains to beta-lactam antibiotics.

Özet

Hastane infeksiyonu etkeni olan Acinetobacter baumannii kökenlerinde çeşitli beta-laktam grubu antibiyotiklere karşı önemli bir direnç problemi mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, çeşitli klinik örneklerden izole edilen 60 A. baumannii kökenine ait beta-laktamaz enziminin İzoelektrik noktası (pl) poliakrilamid jel elektroforez İzoelektrik odaklama (PAGE-IEF) yöntemi kullanılarak belirlendi. Kökenlerin beta-laktam grubu antibiyotiklere duyarlılıkları ile enzimlerin İzoelektrik noktalan (pl) birlikte değerlendirilerek beta-laktamaz enzimleri tahmin edildi. Çalışmaya alınan A. baumannii kökenlerinin hepsinde beta-laktamaz enzimlerinin varlığı gösterildi. IEF yöntemi ile 50 kökende beta-laktamaz bantı saptanırken, 10 kökende bant oluşumu gösterilemedi. Bununla birlikte, tüm kökenlerde gözle ayırt edilebilen, ancak bant oluşturmayan, yükleme yerinde yayılma tarzında beta-laktamaz varlığı tespit edildi. Bant oluşumu gösteren 50 kökenin 29'unda pl 5.4, 8'inde pl 6.3, 13'ünde 6.3 ve 5.4 idi. Antibiyotik duyarlılıkları ve pl değerlerine göre 6 fenotip saptandı. Fenotip l ACE + TEM-1 veya PER-I; fenotip 2 ACE + CARB-5; fenotip 3 ACE; fenotip 4 ACE'nin aşırı sentezlenmesi veya yeni bir beta-laktamaz; fenotip 5 ACE + TEM-1 ; ferîotip 6 ACE + TEM-1 veya PER-1 + CARB-5 beta-laktamaz enzimi olarak yorumlandı. Ayrıca fenotip 5 dışında, her fenotip imipenem direncine göre kendi içinde alt gruplara ayrıldı. A. baumannii kökenlerinde beta-laktam grubu antibiyotik direncinden, beta-laktamaz enzimleri ile birlikte porin değişikliği ve penisilin bağlayan proteinlerdeki değişikliğin de sorumlu olabileceği düşünüldü.
