5 Isolation of carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas putida and its genetic background Sachie Yomoda 1 Ayako Takahashi 1 Toyoji Okubo 2 Masami Murakami 1 and Shizuko Iyobe 2 1 Department of Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Laboratory Center 2 Laboratory of Drug Resistance in Bacteria Gunma University School of Medicine 9 15 Showa machi, MaebashiJapan We isolated 8 Pseudomonas putida strains in the 5 years from January 1997 through December 21 at Gunma University Hospital. The sample was free of patient duplication. Among them27 isolates were resistant to imipenemipm22 of which were of urine origin. None was isolated from respiratory specimens. Most IPM resistant isolates were strains multiply resistant to piperacillinceftazidime amikacinand norfloxacin. The IMP metallo lactamase geneblaimpwas identified by PCR from all 27 IPM resistant strainswhich were derived from different 8 wards. We focused on 1 blaimp bearing P. putida strains of a ward9 isolatedfrominpatients and 4 detected from around the water pipe. The long term residence of blaimp bearing P. putida strainsidentified as the same strains with pulsed field gel electrophoresispfgepatterns and MIC patterns as for 1 drugswas observed in both inpatients and the ward environment. From 9 of the 1 strainsthe blaimp gene was effectively transferred to a recipient strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosaconferring resistance to IPM and other lactams concomitantly with amikacin resistance; 4 of the 9 strains conferred additional resistance to gentamicin and tobramycin.
