7 For Acinetobacter species, the levels of resistance were lowest for imipenem and meropenem. Recent reports of acquired carbapenemase activity in this species and among species of Enterobacteriaceae highlight the need to carefully monitor carbapenem susceptibility!!

25 First description of New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM-1)- carbapenemase from a novel Acinetobacter species (NB14) in Turkey P. Espinal*, N. Mosqueda, M. Telli, T. van der Reijden, L. Dijkshoorn, I. Roca, J. Vila (Barcelona, ES; Aydin, TR; Leiden, NL) From a female pediatric patient with pyelonephritis. Resistant to imipenem and meropenem (>32 mg/l), ceftazidime and piperacilline/tazobactam and susceptible to amikacin, ciprofloxacine and cephaperazone/sulbactam. MICs for colistin and tigecycline were (0.25 and 0.5 mg/l, respectively). PCR and sequencing identified the presence of blandm-1. Transferable antimicrobial resistance mechanisms ESCMID 2013

26 Carbapenem-resistance determinants in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates: CarO, AdeB, and blaoxa-24, blaoxa-58 type carbapenemases D. Guneser Merdan*, B. Aksu, G. Soyletir, J.M. Pages, M.U. Hasdemir (Istanbul, TR; Marseille, FR) Modifications in CarO porin protein, the production of various carbapenemases (VIM, IMP, OXA type carbapenemases) and/or overexpression of AdeABC efflux pump have been associated with the carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii. 4 multidrug resistant clinical strains of A. baumannii Carbapenemase activity was only detected in the two isolates and they gave positive PCR results for oxacillinase encoding genes, blaoxa-24 and blaoxa-58. All isolates displayed high level adeb transcripts in RT-PCR The alterations in CarO porin protein and the production of OXA-24 and OXA-58 type carbapenemases might be the main contributors of high level imipenem resistance. AdeABC efflux pump is another participant of carbapenem resistance in these isolates leading relatively low imipenem and meropenem MICs. ESCMID 2013

27 Increasing antimicrobial resistance in nosocomial pathogens; multidrugresistant (MDR) and pandrugresistant (PDR) Acinetobacter baumannii C. Celik, M.G. Gozel*, F. Dayi, M.Z. Bakici, N. Elaldi (Sivas, TR) 454 Acinetobacter spp. strains isolated from clinical specimens (165 respiratory tract, 99 urine, 76 blood, 70 wound, 14 cerebro spinal fluid and 30 others) of hospitalized patients diagnosed with nosocomial infection at Cumhuriyet University Research and Training Hospital during Rate of MDR and PDR A. baumannii were detected as 57.3% and 14.0% respectively. ESCMID 2013

28 Tigecycline-sensitivity of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, comparison of Etest, Disc Diffusion and VITEK 2 S. Altun*, Z. Koçak Tufan, C. Bulut, U. Onde, S. Kinikli, A.P. Demiroz (Ankara, TR) Although e-test is recommended to detect sensitivity, otomatized system (VITEK 2, Biomerieux) results are used in routine work to start the therapy as soon as possible up to e-test results are available. Comparison of E-test, VITEK 2 and disc diffusion methods for tygecycline sensitivity of Acinetobacter baumannii. According to VITEK 2, E- test and disc diffusion results, resistance was detected in 1 (2%), 1 (2%) and 18 (40%) strains respectively. The only strain detected as resistant by E-test was found to be sensitive by VITEK 2 while the resistant strain by VITEK 2 was found to be intermediate sensitive by e- test. Eight of 26 (31%) sensitive strains by E-test were found to be intermediate sensitive by VITEK. A correlation of 46% was detected between E-test and VITEK2 (R=0.463, p=0.002). No correlation was detected between disc diffusion and other tests. Disc diffusion method seems to be not useful for detecting tygecycline sensitivity of Acinetobacter baumannii. E-test and VITEK 2 results are correlated and VITEK 2 results can be used when trying to make an alternative therapy with tygecycline for treating acinetobacter infections while waiting E-test results.
