Abstract We report a cluster of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 101, derived from 1 poultry and 2 clinical samples collected within the setting of a prospective study designed to determine the diversity and migration of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales between humans, foodstuffs, and wastewater.

Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most common Gram negative bacteria encountered byclinicians worldwide as a cause of infections in human. Most of the infections are acquired in hospital settingtherefore, it is reported to be the amongst the 10 most common nosocomial pathogen in various studies. Nowadays,Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are complicated by increase in Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL)producing isolates. Therefore, this study is being conducted with the objective to fi nd out the prevalence ofESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniaein various clinical samples and to fi nd out there sensitivity pattern.Methods: A total of 100 Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from various samples during the period of April2013 to November 2013 in Microbiology Unit of Shree Birendra Hospital. All the isolates were identifi ed withtheir sensitivity pattern according to standard methodology. Combination disc diffusion method was followedfor identifi cation of ESBL.Results: Out of total 100 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae21% were ESBL producer.ESBL producer isolatesshowed 100% sensitivity to Imepenem followed by Amikacin 57.1% and Chloramphenicol 47.6%. All theESBL isolates were resistant to both Cefotaxime and Ceftazidime.Conclusions: ESBL producer Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were multidrug resistant. Continuous surveillanceand timely intervention with discouraging the use of cephalosporin group of antibiotics is mandatory.doi:  http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mjsbh.v13i1.12996

A Prospective Study

Objective: To study the prevalence and incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase -producing microorganisms, microbiological characteristics and antimicrobial-susceptibility patterns. Methods: A prospective study involving all cases of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase -producing microorganisms among all bacteriological samples collected over a 1-year period from 11 November 2015 to 10 November 2016, in the Clinical and Molecular Microbiology Laboratory at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah. Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms and antimicrobial-susceptibility profiles were done using automated Vitek 2 system. Clinical data such as recent use of antibiotics or invasive devices were investigated as risk factors for multidrug resistance. Results: The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms was 5.4% (95% CI = 4.7% – 6.2%); for an incidence = 54 per 1,000 isolates-years. Distribution by species showed 70.0% Escherichia coli, 28.5% Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1.5% Proteus mirabilis. Vitek 2 system showed 6% of false positive ESBL detections by reference to confirmatory E-test. Antimicrobial- susceptibility tests showed that 86.5% of beta-lactamase-producing strains were resistant to ≥ 1 other antimicrobial class and 20% were multidrug resistant. Univariate logistic regression showed that the presence of multidrug resistance was significantly predicted by age (OR = 1.02; P = 0.026), use of urinary catheter (OR = 2.05; P = 0.046) and number of devices used (OR = 1.60; P = 0.046); only age (OR = 1.02; P = 0.022) was significant in the multivariate model. Conclusion: Clinicians and microbiologists should maintain a high level of alertness and contribute for effective screening and adequate treatment of infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing organisms according to international guidelines and the local epidemiological picture.
