INTRODUCTION
Pseudomona aeruginosa Carbapenems
Gram-negative bacterium with non- Beta-lactam antibiotics with a broad
fermentative oxidative metabolism. It spector of bactericidal activity because
is a monoflagellated bacilli that they are highly resistant to beta-
develops in humid environments and is lactamases. They act by inhibiting
associated to intrahospitalary peptidoglycan synthesis due to great
infections with limited therapeutic affinity for PBP, so they inhibit the
options due to the resistance synthesis of the cell wall. They are
mechanism that it is capable of bactericidal and produce rapid lysis of
developing against various groups of bacteria. The resistance to this kind of
drugs. antibiotics is due to the acquisition of
resistant genes encoding carbapenem-
hydrolyzing enzymes.
INTRODUCTION The Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most
opportunistic pathogen that causes diseases such as
respiratory tract infections, otitis media and
nosocomial infections. The treatment for these
diseases is getting more complicated due to the
new mechanisms of resistance to different kind of
drugs including Carbapenems thah have been kept
as a last resort therapy for the control of MDR P.
aeruginosa infection, but this bacterias now has
resistant genes that encode for carbapenems-
hydrolyzing enzymes, such as metallo-B-lactamases
and for the development multidrug efflux
machinery which increase the resistance.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to examine the
coexistence of different genes encoding
carbapenemases in P. aeruginosa clinical isolates.
Also, the expression level of porins (OprD) and
efflux machinery were evaluated as contributing
mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in these
isolates. This can shed more light on promising
targets for developing strategies to defend the
dissemination of carbapenem resistance, propose
infection control regimens and assign suitable
treatment for such infection.
