PURPOSE: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producing bacteria are of increasing concern due to their multidrug resistance and infection potential. This study determines the one-day prevalence of faecal carriage of ESBL and carbapenemase producing Gram-negative bacilli.
METHODS: Fecal samples were collected from 30 post-surgery patients (hospitalized for at least 48 hours) in each of the four hospitals involved in the study and were analyzed for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Identification was done using Maldi Tof mass spectrometry, and antibiotic susceptibility was tested using disk diffusion and specialized tests for ESBL (double disk synergy technique) and carbapenem (NG-TEST CARBA 5) resistance detection. PCR was conducted on isolates to detect betalactam resistance genes, carbapenemase genes and quinolone resistance genes.
FINDINGS: Out of the 120 patients enrolled, 38.33% (n = 46) and 49.16.33% (n = 59) were found to carry ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing bacteria, respectively, in their fecal samples. Among the isolates, 51.08% (n = 47) exhibited ESBL production, with Escherichia coli (44.56%) being the most common species. The identification of bacteria with resistance to carbapenems showed a predominance of the species Escherichia coli (44.45%) followed by the species Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.06%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (13.58%). The study of the association of variables shows a high degree of association (p < 0.05) for the factors independent walking and use of a wheelchair with ESBL production. The most frequently detected genes among ESBL producing bacteria were blaCTXM-1 (91.49%), qnrB (70.21%) and qnrs (63.82%). blaNDM (54.68%) was the most detected carbapenemase genes among carbapenemase producing isolates.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates, for the first time, a significant prevalence of ESBL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacteria among surgical patients in Benin, with multiple resistance genes detected. Findings should be interpreted in light of the cross-sectional design and >48-hour hospitalization criterion.
