Antibiotic Susceptibility, Biofilm-Forming Ability, and Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)- and Biofilm-Associated Genes Among Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Hospitalized Patients in Northwest of Iran
CURRENT MICROBIOLOGY(2023)
摘要
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic bacterium, which is globally recognized for its high prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Biofilm-forming capability, susceptibility testing, and phenotypic confirmatory test for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolate recognition of 104 K . pneumoniae isolates were performed according to the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. The prevalence of ESBL-associated genes bla-VIM , bla-NDM , and bla-OXA-48 , as well as biofilm-associated genes luxS , fimH1 , wza , and mrkD , was determined by multiplex PCR. The highest resistance rate was against ampicillin (100.0%). Among the 104 K . pneumoniae isolates, 52 (50.0%) and 31 (29.8%) isolates were determined as multi- and extensively drug resistant (MDR, XDR), respectively. Moreover, 21 (40.4%) isolates were determined as ESBL producing. Among 50 biofilm-producing K. pneumoniae isolates, 7 (14.0%), 15 (30.0%), and 28 (56.0%) isolates exhibited high, moderate, and weak levels of biofilm formation, respectively. A number of 41 (78.8%) isolates were susceptible to colistin, and 10 (19.2%) were resistant. AMR was significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in the biofilm-forming isolates compared with non-biofilm formers.
