IDENTIFICATION OF CARBAPENAMASE PRODUCTION IN MULTI DRUG RESISTANT GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA BY PHENOTYPIC METHODS FROM A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL OF WESTERN U.P. INDIA
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the occurrence of carbapenam resistance among MDR-GNB isolates by phenotypic methods. Introduction: Cabapenams posses the broadest spectrum of activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, and play a critically important role in our antibiotic armamentarium. Detection of carbapenamase enzyme production is a crucial infection control issue because they are often associated with antibiotic resistance, treatment failures and infection associated mortality. Material and methods: Study was performed during April 2016 to October 2016. Isolates found resistant to≥3differnt groups of antibiotics were subjected to phenotypic test I.e.; Modified Hodge Test (MHT) and MBL E strip Test for detection of carbapenamase enzyme production. Results: Total 105 samples were processed by conventional culture method and antibiotic sensitivity test by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method and 45 were found resistant to≥3 different groups of antibiotics. Out of 45 resistant cases 09 were positive for MHT and 07 were MBL E Strip test positive. Conclusion: Simple, rapid and cost effective test are required to be done on a routine basis for detection of carbapenamase enzymes along with class determination so that appropriate antibiotic treatment can be started in cases of extensive antibiotic resistance.
