Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) is a microbial agent involved in serious infections in hospital environments with high rates of mortality and morbidity due to the limited therapeutic options available and its rapid acquisition of resistance genes to various antibiotics. The objective was to determine the prevalence of genes for aminoglycoside modifying enzymes Alta prevalencia de enzimas modificadoras de aminoglucósidos (EMAs) en aislados clínicos de Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) productores de β-lactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE) in Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended spectrum β-lactamases. Fortytwo Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were included in this study and from several hospitals in Quito, collected from May 2005 to August 2008. Identification was confirmed phenotypic, genotypic, production of ESBL and resistance profile to 30 antibiotics by standard methods. The detection of EMAs genes was performed by PCR using primers for the identification of genes ant (2")-Ia, aac (6')-Ib and aac(3)-IIa. Isolates showed an increased production of cefotaximasas on ceftazidimases. There was high resistance to β-lactamics, whereas there was no resistance to polymyxin B, colistin, tigecycline. It was clear the high prevalence of EMAs genes in the population studied.
