title: [Occurrence of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and inducible beta-lactamases (IBL) in clinical strains of gram-negative rods].
abstract: This study was undertaken to check the situation concerning the occurrence of Gram-negative rods producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and inducible beta-lactamases (IBL) in clinical specimens from patients hospitalized in National Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Warsaw. Such determinations were not performed in this hospital so far. During three months (April-June, 1997) 200 strains of Gram-negative rods were cultured. The strains were identified in automatic ATB system using strips with biochemical tests: ID 32 E for enteric rods and ID 32 GN for non-fermenting rods. ESBL-producing strains were detected with double disc diffusion test according to Jarlier et al. (1988). Clavulanate was applied as the inhibitor of beta-lactamases (AMO/CLAV disc). Inducible beta-lactamases were determined using double disc method according to Sanders and Sanders (1979). Cefoxitin was the inductor of these beta-lactamases. 82 strains (41% of all strains) belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family, 92 strains (46%) of Pseudomonadaceae rods and 26 strains (13%) of other Gram-negative rods were isolated. 30 ESBL-producing strains (15% of all strains) and 45 strains (22.5%) with IBL activity were detected. The obtained results confirm the necessity of continuous and reliable monitoring of ESBL--and IBL--producing strains among Gram-negative rods isolated from clinical materials. The aims of such procedure are the control and prevention of their dissemination within a hospital as well as the avoidance of therapeutic failures.
