First report of the aac(6')-Ib-cr gene in Providencia stuartii isolates in Brazil.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Introduction
The aac(6')-Ib-cr and bla KPC genes are spreading among Enterobacteriaceae species, including Providencia stuartii, in some countries of world.Methods
These genes were investigated in 28 P. stuartii isolates from a public hospital in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, by PCR and sequencing.Results
The aac(6')-Ib-cr gene was detected in 16 resistant isolates, and the bla KPC gene was seen in 14.Conclusions
The presence of these genes in P. stuartii multi- and extensively drug-resistant isolates indicates that the resistance arsenal of this species is increasing, thus limiting the therapeutic options.
