CONTEXT: Carbapenems are the primary choice of treatment for severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. However, the emergence of carbapenem resistance due to the production of Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) is of global concern.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total 200 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested for MBL production. Meropenem (MRP) resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were taken as MBL screening. MBL detection was done by three phenotypic methods 1) Combined disk synergy test (CDST). 2) Double disk synergy test (DDST) and 3) E-test. The real time pcr test was used for detection of two gene encoding MBLs (IMP & VIM).
RESULTS: out of 200 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 73 were resistant to Meropenem as screening positive. Out 73, 34(46.5%) isolates were MBL positive by CDST methods, 33(45%) by DDST method and 33(45%) by E-test. All 33 E-test positive strains contained the MBL gene where blaVIM and blaIMP gene were 23 and 10 respectively.
CONCLUSION: The study show that the high prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing MBL enzymes thus the proper antibiotics policy and all carbapenems resistant P. aeruginosa should be routinely screened for MBL production using phenotypic methods and that Real time-PCR confirmation be performed to minimize the emergence of this MBL producing pathogens.
