Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The spread of β-lactamases that hydrolyze βlactam antibiotics has limited options for treating bacterial infections.The prevance of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing Enterobacteriae has been incresing worldwide. In this study, we investigated the molecular characteristics of 200 strains of Salmonella, 74 strains of Escherichia coli, and 35 strains of Enterobacteriae with resistance for calbapenem antibiotics. We performed the antimicrobial susceptibility tests and detected β lactamase related genes, and epidemiology typing by PCR and sequencing technique. Two strains of Salmonella and 72 strains of Escherichia coli has extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), with resistance for major β lactam antibiotics, related genes represented a majority worldwide. Of 35 strains in Enterobacteriae with resistance for calbapenem, 17 strains has MBL related genes. In conclusion, we confirmed that ESBL and MBL producing Enterobacteriae has emerged in Japan.
