RESUMEN
Objetivo. Describir un brote de Pseudomonas aeruginosa multirresistente productora de metalo-beta-lactamasa (MBL). Material y métodos. En mayo de 2009, se detectaron seis aislamientos consecutivos de P. aeruginosa con un mismo antibiotipo (perfil de resistencia a imipenem y cefalosporinas manteniendo sensibilidad a aztreonam) que indicaban la producción de carbapenemasas. Se investigó la posibilidad de su origen clonal y la presencia de MBL mediante caracterización fenotípica y genotípica de los seis aislados y se estudió si estos codificaban la MBL tipo VIM. Secundariamente, se analizaron de forma retrospectiva todos los aislamientos de las mismas características de todo el año 2009 con objeto de establecer la posibilidad de infección endémica. Resultados. Se encontraron dos clones según el perfil en electroforesis de campo pulsado, el más frecuente representado por 4 aislados. Todas procedían de la unidad de cuidados intensivos. El 100% de las cepas del brote se consideran multirresistentes. Se confirmó mediante PCR la presencia de genes del tipo VIM relacionadas con la producción de MBL en el 100% de los aislados correspondientes al pulsotipo 1. Conclusiones. Se detecta la existencia de un brote de P. aeruginosa productora de MBL. Se plantea un evidente problema terapéutico y de control de la infección nosocomial. Se debe extremar las medidas de aislamiento y realizar controles sistemáticos de presencia de MBL, dada la prevalencia elevada en nuestro entorno(AU)
ABSTRACT
Objective. To describe the nosocomial outbreak of multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain). Material and methods. In May 2009, six consecutive isolations of multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detected. These were characterized by their profile of resistance to imipenem and cephalosporins and sensibility to aztreonam, this suggesting the production of carbapenemases. The isolations were screened for MBL and a PCR for the detection of the VIM gene was performed. Secondary, all of the isolations having the same characteristics in the year 2009 were analyzed retrospectively in order to establish the possibility of an endemic infection. Results. The molecular typing of the isolates revealed two clones in Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), the most frequent (Type 1) being represented by 4 isolates. All of them came from patients who were in the Intensive Care Unit. All (100%) of the isolates of the outbreak were considered to be multiresistant. PCR confirmed the presence of the VIM gene related with the production of MBL in 100% of the isolates corresponding to pulsotype 1. Conclusions. We detected the existence of an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing metallo-beta-lactamase. Am evident therapeutic problem as well as a problem of nosocomial infection was considered. The isolation means should be maximized and routine controls performed for the presence of MBL given its elevated prevalence in our setting(AU)
