RESUMO

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and species of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumanii complex are multiresistant intrahospital opportunistic pathogens, able to acquire carbapenemases and produce outbreaks with high morbidity and mortality. Pseudomonas putida has also emerged with similar characteristics. The aim of this research was to characterize the Metallo-ß-lactamases (MBLs) detected by surveillance in Paraguay in the first 5 years of their circulation in hospitals. The coexistence of KPC and OXA-type carbapenemases was also investigated. 70 MBL-producing strains from inpatients were detected from clinical samples and rectal swab from 11 hospitals. The strains were identified by manual, automated, and molecular methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility was studied by Kirby-Bauer and automated methods, while colistin susceptibility was determined by broth macrodilution. MBLs were investigated by synergy with EDTA against carbapenems and PCR, and their variants by sequencing. KPC and OXA-carbapenemases were investigated by PCR. Clonality was studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The results demonstrated the circulation of blaVIM-2 (60%), blaNDM-1 (36%), and blaIMP-18 (4%). The MBL-producing species were P. putida (45.7%), P. aeruginosa (17.2%), A. baumannii (24.3%), A. pittii (5.7%), A. nosocomialis, (4.3%) A. haemolyticus (1.4%), and A. bereziniae (1.4%). PFGE analysis showed one dominant clone for A. baumannii, a predominant clone for half of the strains of P. aeruginosa, and a polyclonal spread for P. putida. In the first 5 years of circulation in Paraguay, MBLs were disseminated as unique variants per genotype, appeared only in Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter spp., probably through horizontal transmission between species and vertical by some successful clones.
