          Abstract

          Objetivo: Investigar la resistencia a aminoglucósidos en cepas de A. baumannii por expresión de genes aph(3')-VIa y aac(3')-H, de una clínica privada en Montería. Materiales y Métodos: Entre agosto de 2005 y febrero de 2007 se recolectaron 17 aislamientos de A. baumannii resistentes a aminoglucosidos de una clínica privada de tercer nivel de Montería. Se determinó la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana mediante la concentración mínima inhibitoria. Se amplificaron y secuenciaron los genes aph(3')-VIa/ aph(3')-Ia, aac(3)-l, aac(3)-ll y aac(6)-la. El análisis de las secuencias se realizó con la base de datos GenBank y el motor de búsqueda BLASTX. El ADN de todos los aislamientos fue preparado en bloques de agarosa y digerido con Apal. Resultados: Dieciséis de 17 aislamientos (94,1%) resistentes a amikacina fueron positivos para el gen aph(3')-VIa y todos los aislamientos fueron positivos para aac(3')-II, ningún aislamiento resulto positivo para los genes aac(3')-l, aph(3')-la y aac(6')-l. La PFGE mostró 8 pulsotipos con dos clones en 11 aislamientos, distribuidos en 7 aislamientos pulsotipo l y 4 aislamientos pulsotipo ll. Los otros seis pulsotipos comprendieron aislamientos no relacionados. Conclusión: La resistencia a los aminoglucósidos en A. baumannii esta codificada principalmente por el gen aph(3')-VIa y el gen aac(3')-II. El análisis epidemiológico molecular demostró que la resistencia a amikacina se debe a la diseminación del gen aph(3')-VIa en aislamientos de A. baumannii que en muchos casos como el de este estudio causa brotes

          Objetive: lnvestigate aminoglucoside-resistant A. baumannii strain by expressing aph(3')-Vla y aac(3')-llgenes, in a clinicfrom Monteria. Materials and Methods: Between august 2005 andfebruary 2007 were collected 17 iso-lates of A. baumannii resistant to aminoglycosides at a private clinic providing tertiary care in Monteria. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration. Were amplified and sequenced the genes aph(3')-VIa, aph(3')-Ia, aac(3)-I, aac(3)-ll y aac(6)-la. The sequence analysis was performed with the GenBank database and BLASTX search engine. DNA of all isolates were prepared in agarose blocks and digested with the restriction enzyme Apal. Results: Sixteen of 17 isolates (94,1%) resistant to amikacin were positive for the gene aph(3')-VIa and all isolates were positive for aac(3')-II, no isolates were positive for the gene aac(3')-I, aph (3')-Ia and aac(6')-I. The PFGE pulsotypes showed 8 with two clones in 11 isolates, distributed in 7 isolates pulsotypes and 4 isolates pulsotypes ll. The other six pulsotypes included isolates unrelated. Conclusion: resistance to aminoglycosides in A. baumannii is primarily coded by the gene aph(3')-VIa gene and the aac(3')-II. Molecular epidemiological analysis showed that resis-tance to amikacin is due to the large spread of the gene aph(3')-VIa in A. baumannii isolates that in many cases as in this study cause outbreaks.

            Molecular genetics of aminoglycoside resistance genes and familial relationships of the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes.

            The three classes of enzymes which inactivate aminoglycosides and lead to bacterial resistance are reviewed. DNA hybridization studies have shown that different genes can encode aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes with identical resistance profiles. Comparisons of the amino acid sequences of 49 aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes have revealed new insights into the evolution and relatedness of these proteins. A preliminary assessment of the amino acids which may be important in binding aminoglycosides was obtained from these data and from the results of mutational analysis of several of the genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. Recent studies have demonstrated that aminoglycoside resistance can emerge as a result of alterations in the regulation of normally quiescent cellular genes or as a result of acquiring genes which may have originated from aminoglycoside-producing organisms or from other resistant organisms. Dissemination of these genes is aided by a variety of genetic elements including integrons, transposons, and broad-host-range plasmids. As knowledge of the molecular structure of these enzymes increases, progress can be made in our understanding of how resistance to new aminoglycosides emerges.

              Identification of Acinetobacter baumannii by detection of the blaOXA-51-like carbapenemase gene intrinsic to this species.

              bla(OXA-51-like) was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a multiplex PCR, which also detects bla(OXA-23-like) and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates that gave a band for bla(OXA-51-like) identified as A. baumannii. This gene was detected in each of 141 isolates of A. baumannii but not in those of 22 other Acinetobacter species.
