Summary: | is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen, which has aroused considerable medical interest for being involved in cases of urinary tract infection.
Characterize the
isolated both in the hospital and in the community.
A total of 200
isolated in urine samples from hospital and community were evaluated in biofilm formation assay and hydrophobicity MATS method. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed through agar-diffusion technique. Virulence and ESBL production genes were observed through the polymerase chain reaction amplification of
, and
The phylogenetic classification was based on the pattern
and
and the region TspE4.C2 by PCR Multiplex.
A higher frequency of non-adherent or poorly adherent isolates was observed in the community group. Approximately 85% of the community isolates were distributed in the highest hydrophilicity group (p0.05). About 14% of the hospital isolates were positive in the ESBL phenotypic detection test (p>0.05). Among the samples, 95% presented ESBL-encoding genes. The predominant phylogenetic group was B2 (78%). Community isolates showed a higher prevalence of virulence genes
, and
when compared to hospital samples.
These data confirm the worldwide trend that isolates in the community present sometimes higher levels of virulence and antimicrobial resistance. |
