OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and genetic determinants of carbapenemase production and colistin resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered from three health care facilities in the city of Batna, Algeria.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted between 2021 and 2022 on 46 Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, which were collected and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method and colistin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by broth microdilution method. Carbapenemase and colistin resistance determinants were detected by qPCR.
RESULTS: The 46 clinical isolates were mainly from the intensive care unit (52.17%) and the burns unit (17.39%). The strains were collected primarily from pus samples (34.78%) and blood samples (17.39%). Eleven strains were classified as colistin-resistant, with MICs ranging from 4 to 128 μg/mL. The blaOXA-24 gene was detected in 63.04% of the isolates, followed by the blaOXA-23 gene (43.47%). Nine strains were positive for both blaOXA-23-like and blaOXA-24-like genes. The blaNDM gene was detected in eight isolates (17.39%), including two which co-expressed a blaOXA-24 gene. In contrast, all strains were negative for the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mcr-1 to mcr-5 and mcr-8.
CONCLUSION: Here, we report a high prevalence of carbapenemases-producing A. baumannii isolates in Batna hospitals. Notably, this study is the first to identify A. baumannii isolates co-producing OXA-24 and NDM carbapenemases and to report the first detection of colistin-resistant A. baumannii co-producing OXA-24 and OXA-23 carbapenemases from a patient in Algeria.
