dc.description.abstract | Background Infections by glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) pose a major public health problem due to multiresistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, especially plasmid-borne carbapenemases. Their detection by microbiology laboratories is challenging, and there is a need for easy-to-use and reliable diagnostic techniques. Our objective was to evaluate an in-house screening method to presumptively detect carbapenemases in NFGNB in a simple and clinically useful manner. Methods The study included 175 NFGNB isolates from urinary, respiratory, and rectal samples. In a triple assay, isolates were incubated at 37°C for 24 h on three solid-culture media: MacConkey II Agar, 5% Sheep Blood Columbia Agar and Mueller Hinton II Agar; meropenem (MEM) and cefepime (FEP) disks were employed for screening. Studies were then performed on the inhibition halo diameter, scanning effects, and the appearance of mutant colonies, which were compared with those observed using the colorimetric Neo-Rapid CARB Kit and immunochromatography (NG5-Test Carba and K-Set for OXA-23). Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed for these data. Results Carbapenemases were expressed by 79/175 (45.1%): 19 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 60 Acinetobacter baumannii. Optimal inhibition halo diameter cutoffs to detect this resistance on 5% sheep blood agar were as follows: 6 mm (MEM) and 6.5 mm (FEP) for P. aeruginosa (in the absence of scanning effects and mutations) and 10.5 mm (MEM) and 16 mm (FEP) for A. baumannii (even in the presence of scanning effects). Conclusion The combined utilization of MEM and FEP antibiotic disks in 5% sheep blood agar, measuring their inhibition haloes, offers an effective method to predict the presence of carbapenemases as resistance mechanism in P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii. | es_ES |
