BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is an aerobic, gram-negative, glucose-nonfermenting bacterium, which has emerged as a serious opportunistic pathogen. In recent years, the increasing instance of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii producing metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) or OXAtype beta-lactamases is causing a serious clinical problem. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of Ambler class A, B, and D beta-lactamases and their extended-spectrum derivatives in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates. METHODS A total of 31 consecutive, non-duplicate, carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii were isolated from three university hospitals in the Chungcheong province of Korea. The modified Hodge and inhibitor-potentiated disk diffusion tests were conducted for the screening of carbapenemase and MBL production, respectively. PCR and DNA sequencing were performed for the detection of beta-lactamase genes. We also employed the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR method for the epidemiologic study. RESULTS Twenty-three of 31 isolates harbored bla(OXA-2)(51.6%), bla(OXA-23)(22.6%), bla(IMP-1)(48.4%),and bla(VIM-2)(3.2%). All of the OXA-2-producing strains also evidenced MBLs. The strains that harbored bla(OXA-23)were isolated only in hospital C, and only in a limited fashion. The ERIC-PCR pattern of the five OXA-23 strains indicated that the isolates were closely related in terms of clonality. The six strains producing IMP-1 isolated from hospital A were confirmed to be identical strains. CONCLUSIONS A. baumannii strains harboring IMP-1 or OXA-type beta-lactamases are currently widely distributed throughout the Chungcheong province of Korea. The most notable finding in this study was that a bla(OXA-2)-producing A. baumannii harboring MBL, which has not been previously reported, can also lead to outbreaks.

D015780 Carbapenems A group of beta-lactam antibiotics in which the sulfur atom in the thiazolidine ring of the penicillin molecule is replaced by a carbon atom. THIENAMYCINS are a subgroup of carbapenems which have a sulfur atom as the first constituent of the side chain. Antibiotics, Carbapenem,Carbapenem,Carbapenem Antibiotics
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
