Abstract

Background This study aimed to identify metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli isolates obtained from hemodialysis (HD) patients with urinary tract infections (UTI). Methods and results A total of 257 HD patients with UTI were included in this study, from which 47 E. coli isolates were collected. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by disc diffusion method. MBLs and AmpC production were phenotypically detected by imipenem-ethylenediaminetetracetate and cefoxitin/boronic acid assays, respectively. The presence of MBLs and AmpC genes was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fosfomycin and ampicillin were the most and the least effective antibiotics against E. coli isolates, respectively. Moreover, 61.7 (29/47) of E. coli isolates were multidrug-resistant with seven different antibiotypes. Antibiotype V (AMP-CIP-IMP-MEM-CPD-CRO-CTX-GEN-LEV-SXT-TOB) was the most prevalent profile. Besides, 24 (51.1) isolates were simultaneously resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Phenotypic assay showed MBL production in 16 (66.7) of the 24 carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates. The distribution of MBL genes in carbapenem-resistant E. coli was as follows: bla(IMP) 18 (72), bla(VIM) 7 (28), and bla(NDM) 1 (4). AmpC was detected in 61.7 (29/47) of the isolates using the phenotypic method. The presence of AmpC genes was confirmed by PCR in only 26 of 29 (86.7) AmpC producers. The frequencies of bla(DHA-1), bla(ACC), and bla(CMY-2) were 6 (20.7), 11 (37.9), and 21 (72.4), respectively. Conclusions The emergence of MBL and AmpC coproducing E. coli isolates calls for an urgent surveillance program for timely diagnosis and screening of these genes in our healthcare systems.
