Abstract:Objective To investigate the drug resistance of 348 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) anddetection of drug resistance genes of multidrug -resistant PAE in our hospital. Methods In vitro resistance monitoring was performed in 348 strains of PAE isolated in the Department of Hematology. In the 36 multi-drug resistant strains of PAE, RT-PCR was used to determine drug resistance genes which included OprD2、VIM、GIM、SPM、IMP-1、TEM、VEB、PER、aac(3)-Ⅲ、aac(6)’-Ib-Cr 、qnrA、qnrS、qnrD. Results Multidrug-resistant PAE strains were highly sensitive to Tobramycin, Piperacillin/Tazobactam, and Meropenem, but were obviously resistant to other commonly-used antibiotics. PCR analysis showed that the positive rates of OprD2、IMP-1、TEM、TEM、aac(3)-Ⅲ、aac(6)’-Ib-Cr genes were 97.22%, 94.44%, 75.00%, 61.11%, 50.00%, 47.22%, 38.89% and 27.78% respectively, while the positive rates of others genes were less than 15.00%. Conclusions Drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is strong, and the resistance genes of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa are mainly OprD2 and IMP-1 genes.
