Abstract

To investigate the antimicrobial resistance, extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) and clones of isolates causing bacteraemia or urinary tract infection (UTI) in Korea, a total of 406 isolates from patients with bacteraemia (221 isolates) and UTI (185 isolates) were collected from 10 tertiary-care Korean hospitals from July 2006 to October 2007. antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for all isolates and ESBL production was tested. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses were performed to characterize genotypes of ESBL-producing isolates. PFGE was performed for sequence type 11 (ST11) isolates. Forty-seven UTI isolates (25.4 %) produced ESBLs, while 30 bacteraemia isolates (13.6 %) produced ESBLs (=0.002). Among 77 ESBL-producing isolates, thirty-two (41.6 %) produced SHV-type ESBLs. genes such as and were detected in 36.4 %. MLST and PFGE analyses showed that ST11 was dominant in ESBL-producing isolates causing UTI (57.4 %) and in those causing bacteraemia (70.0 %) and has been prevalent in Korean hospitals. ST11 isolates harbour a combination of different ESBL genes. The ST11 clone of ESBL-producing isolates prevails in Korea, but most isolates might acquire ESBL genes independently or several different clones might be distributed in Korea.
