Investigation of metallo-beta-lactamase producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii by E-test, disk synergy and PCR.

Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2008

Aktaş Zerrin, Kayacan Ciğdem Bal

Abstract excerpt

Carbapenem non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii strains were tested for the presence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) by EDTA-synergy screening. Imipenem hydrolysis was investigated by a bioassay and IMP-/VIM-encoding genes by PCR. No bla(IMP/VIM) related genes or imipenemase activity were detected although E-test found all strains as MBL-positive. Disk synergy tests with 0.5 M EDTA...
