چکیده مقاله:
Infection by carbapenem-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae is a life threating problem in hospitals. Capsule and fimbriae are known as important virulence factors of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of two genes coding capsule (wabG) and fimbriae (fimH) in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from patients hospitalized in Isfahan, Iran. The susceptibility of the isolates to carbapenem was evaluated by disk diffusion. Definitive confirmation of carbapenem resistant isolates was done through ۱۶S-۲۳S ITS gene; and finally, carbapenem resistant (OXA۴۸), capsule (wabG), and fimbriae (fimH) genes were traced in the isolates. The data were analyzed using independent parametric T test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Out of ۱۰۲ clinical isolates, ۵۰ isolates (۴۹%) were carbapenem resistant and ۵۲ isolates (۵۱%) were sensitive to carbapenem. The most carbapenem-resistant isolates were isolated from the ICU (۴۲%) and emergency departments (۲۲%). All carbapenem resistant isolates had OXA۴۸ gene. Out of ۵۰ isolates with carbapenem resistance gene, ۴۸ isolates (۹۶%) had fimH gene and ۴۷ isolates (۹۴%) had wabG gene. Most carbapenem resistant isolates with fimH were from men (۳۱ isolates), and from respiratory trachea (۳۱%) and urine (۲۷%). Most carbapenem resistant isolates with wabG were from men (۲۹ isolates), and from respiratory trachea (۲۸%) and urine (۳۰%). High frequency of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate and the high frequencies (more than ۹۰%) of fimH and wabG genes which is higher than many previous reports is significant and should be considered in diagnostic and treatment protocols.
