Purpose: The increasing multi-drug carbapenem resistance among Enterobacterales are a severe health problem limiting therapeutic options and worsen the prognosis. This study characterizes carbapenemase genes and integrons among uropathogenic carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) isolates recovered from Mansoura University Hospitals and evaluates the effect of colistin, fosfomycin and meropenem-vaborbactam on these isolates. Patients and Methods: A total of 200 Enterobacterales isolates were collected from patients with urinary tract infections. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the disc diffusion method. Colistin susceptibility was tested using the broth microdilution method and fosfomycin and meropenem/vaborbactam susceptibility were tested by MIC Test Strips. Carbapenem resistant isolates were screened for carbapenemase activity phenotypically using the modified carbapenem inactivation method and EDTA-modified carbapenem inactivation method and genotypically by multiplex PCR. Integrons class 1 and 2 and fosA gene were assayed by PCR. Data were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16. The Chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used to compare groups, as appropriate. Results: Ninety-two Enterobacterales isolates were resistant to meropenem (46%); 52 E. coli and 40 K. pneumoniae strains. All CRE isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Sensitivity of CRE isolates to colistin, fosfomycin and meropenem/vaborbactam were 67.4%, 82.6% and 58.7%, respectively. Carbapenemase genes were detected by multiplex PCR in 69.6% of CRE isolates (Carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) mainly blaNDM (37%). CPE isolates were significantly more resistant to meropenem/vaborbactam than non-CPE isolates; 51.6% vs 17.8%, respectively (P = 0.003) especially blaNDM carrying isolates (70.6%). Class 1 integrons and fosA gene were detected in 91.3% and 11.9% of CRE isolates, respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed that about half of the uropathogenic Enterobacterales isolates were MDR CRE. Carbapenemase gene blaNDM was the main gene among CRE isolates. Meropenem/vaborbactam sensitivity was significantly higher on non-CPE than CPE isolates and limited by the predominance of blaNDM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
