BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) represent a major problem in wound infections. Here, we investigated the prevalence and molecular characterization of ESBL-PE associated with wound infections in North Lebanon.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 103 non-duplicated E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains isolated from 103 patients with wound infections, were collected from seven hospitals in North Lebanon. ESBL-producing isolates were detected using a double-disk synergy test. In addition, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the molecular detection of ESBLs genes.
RESULTS: E. coli was the predominant bacteria (77.6%), followed by K. pneumoniae (22.3%). The overall prevalence of ESBL-PE was 49%, with a significantly higher rate among females and elderly patients. K. pneumoniae was the common MDR and ESBL-producer bacteria (86.95% and 52.17%) compared to E. coli (77.5% and 47.5%). Most of the isolated ESBL producers harbored multiple resistant genes (88%), where blaCTX-M was the most predominant gene (92%), followed by blaTEM (86%), blaSHV (64%), and blaOXA genes (28%).
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first data on the ESBL-PE prevalence associated with wound infections in Lebanon, showing the emergence of multidrug-resistant ESBL-PE, the dominance of multiple gene producers, and the widespread dissemination of blaCTX-M and blaTEM genes.
