Abstract

The co-existence of carbapenemase, 16S rRNA methylase and mutated quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) can cause serious difficulty in treating infections with multidrug-resistant In this study, we aimed to determine the mechanisms of imipenem, amikacin and ciprofloxacin resistance in isolates with resistance to these antibiotics. A total of 31 non-duplicate isolates of amikacin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates were identified from April to August 2010 from a single hospital in South Korea. To assess the clonal relatedness of the 31 isolates, multilocus sequence typing, network phylogenetic analysis and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR were utilized. Detection of OXA-type carbapenemase and 16S rRNA methylase was conducted using a multiplex PCR assay. The QRDRs of the and genes were amplified and sequenced. The result showed that 30/31 isolates harboured the -like carbapenemase, which made them resistant to imipenem (MICs ≥16 µg ml). Twenty-eight of the 31 isolates were found to possess , a 16S rRNA methylase gene, and showed resistance to amikacin, arbekacin, gentamicin and tobramycin (MICs >256 µg ml). All of the isolates were determined to carry QRDR mutations in both and : a Ser83Leu substitution in and a Ser80Leu substitution in , causing a ciprofloxacin MIC ≥64 µg ml. In conclusion, with co-existence of carbapenemase, 16S rRNA methylase and mutated QRDRs are extremely prevalent in South Korea, which may cause serious problems in the treatment of infections using carbapenem, amikacin and ciprofloxacin.
