Background: The characterization of β-lactamase production in Pseudomonasaeruginosa is rarely reported in Nigeria. The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence and characterize the different β-lactamases as well as mechanisms of fluoroquinolones resistance among P. aeruginosa isolated from various clinical sources from Nigeria. Materials and Method: Isolates were investigated using PCR, RFLP and sequencing for the detection of various β-lactamases and efflux pump regulator genes. Result: The prevalence of OXA-10, AmpC, CTX-M and SHV in P. aeruginosa was 80, 70, 5 and 5%, respectively. The coexistence of blaOXA-10 with blaAmpC, blaSHV and blaCTX-M was reported in 40, 5 and 5% of isolates, respectively. The efflux pump regulator genes mexR and nfxB were both amplified in 45% of the OXA-10-positive isolates. Conclusion: This is the first report of the characterization of OXA-10 extended-spectrum β-lactamases and occurrence of mexR and nfxB efflux regulator genes in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Nigeria.

AbstractTwo ST309 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates resistant to carbapenems and newer β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations were found to harbor the extended spectrum beta-lactamases GES 19 and 26 genetically clustered in tandem. The combination of ceftazidime/avibactam plus aztreonam achieved cure in one patient. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ST309 P. aeruginosa carrying tandem GES are an emerging lineage in the United States.
