<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d9465435e216"> <b>INTRODUCTION:</b> <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, and <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i> are among the most frequently isolated pathogens implicated in human disease in Burkina Faso. In addition, the emergence of carbapenem-resistant <i>E. coli</i>, <i>P. aeruginosa</i>, and <i>K. oxytoca</i> due to the production of IMP and VIM enzymes and the spread of these bacteria is a real concern for health facilities. However, the coexistence of the resistance genes encoding these enzymes in clinical bacterial isolates from Burkina Faso has not been previously reported. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d9465435e240"> <b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To prove the coexistence of VIM and IMP in <i>E. coli</i>, <i>P. aeruginosa</i> and <i>K. oxytoca</i> clinical isolates from two medical centers in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, by means of conventional PCR. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d9465435e254"> <b>METHODS:</b> Antibiotic susceptibility testing of 158 gram-negative bacilli isolates was performed against carbapenems and aztreonam using the disk diffusion method. The resistant isolates were screened using conventional polymerase chain reaction for the <i>bla</i> <sub>VIM</sub> and <i>bla</i> <sub>IMP</sub> genes. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d9465435e271"> <b>RESULTS:</b> <i>E. coli</i> (45.1%, 41 isolates) was the most common among the resistant species, with a higher level of resistance to ertapenem (20.9%, 19 isolates) from all the carbapenems. <i>P. aeruginosa</i> (9.9%, 9 isolates) and <i>K. oxytoca</i> (1.1%, one isolate) were less common resistant species. The genes <i>bla</i> <sub>VIM</sub> and <i>bla</i> <sub>IMP</sub> were detected simultaneously in only 5.5% (5 isolates) of the resistant bacterial strains, including three strains of <i>E. coli</i>, one strain of <i>P. aeruginosa</i>, and one strain of <i>K. oxytoca</i>. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d9465435e307"> <b>CONCLUSION:</b> This study established the coexistence of <i>bla</i> <sub>VIM</sub> and <i>bla</i> <sub>IMP</sub> genes in <i>E. coli</i>, <i>P. aeruginosa</i>, and <i>K. oxytoca</i> strains isolated from patients at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tengandogo and the Hôpital Saint Camille de Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. These bacterial isolates were resistant to carbapenems due to the production of VIM and IMP enzymes. </p>

New server, new #introduction.
A former voracious reader, but life’s gotten in the way of turning page after page. Keen on using fountain pens and inks, scribbling away or drawing in my little notebook.
Professionally interested in infectious diseases and medical microbiology. A non-professional interest in flora and fauna when out and about.
Infrequently posting in either English, Norwegian, or Dutch.
