[Characterization and molecular epidemiology of ESBL in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in 11 Spanish hospitals (2004)].
Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica 2008 August
INTRODUCTION: The epidemiological distribution of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) types in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated in various hospitals in Spain and compared with previous studies.
METHODS: A total of 11 Spanish hospitals participated in this study. Each center collected the first 15 isolates of E. coli and the first 5 of K. pneumoniae suspected of being ESBL-producers and isolated during the first quarter of 2004. Clonal study was done by PFGE after total DNA digestion with XbaI and by ERIC-PCR (Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Sequences-Polymerase Chain Reaction), typing. ESBL-producers were characterized by isoelectric focusing (IEF), PCR and sequencing.
RESULTS: A total of 124 strains were collected. PFGE restriction patterns showed considerable diversity among E. coli strains; 4 clusters of 2 strains each were detected. ESBL characterization of 92 E. coli strains showed a predominance of CTX-M-14 (45.7%), CTX-M-9 (20.6%) and SHV-12 (21.7%). Clonal diversity among the 32 K. pneumoniae strains was less pronounced than in E. coli; 3 clusters included 53.1% of strains. The ESBL detected in these strains included a CTX-M type in 20 cases (62.5%) (CTX-M-1, CTX-M-9, CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15); a SHV type in 11 (34.4%) (SHV-12 and SHV-5) and TEM-4 (3.1%) in 1 case.
CONCLUSION: The E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains analyzed in this period displayed a greater diversity of ESBL than has been observed in previous epidemiological studies. Analysis of clonal relationships revealed a greater diversity in E. coli than in K. pneumoniae.
