    ์˜๊ณผํ•™๊ณผ/์„์‚ฌ[ํ•œ๊ธ€] Carbapenems are active even against ESBL and AmpC ฮฒ- lactamase-producing gram-negative bacilli, but resistant bacteria to this antimicrobial agents emerged. Accurate determination of susceptibility is necessary for proper treatment of infected patients and for investigation of resistance mechanism. Gram-negative bacilli can be stored in CTA at room temperature, but we experienced loss of imipenem resistance among MBL-producing isolates. Resistance was transferred by conjugation from isolates producing VIM-2, which is the most prevalent MBL type in Korea. However, location of the gene on plasmid has not been documented. The aims of study were to determine frequency of loss of IMP-1 and VIM-2 genes during storage in CTA at room temperature, change of MIC of antimicrobial agents, the location of MBL gene and change of cost due to loss of the gene. Bacteria were isolated from clinical materials at Severance hospital in 1995-2000. MBL-production was tested by the Hodge and double disk synergy tests. blaIMP-1 and blaVIM-2 allele, and class 1 integron were detected by PCR. Resistance transfer was tested by filter mating using a recipient strain P. aeruginosa PAO 4089Rp. Loss of resistance was tested in CTA at room temperature. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by the NCCLS method. To determine the location of VIM-2 gene electrophoresis-separ-ated plasmid DNA and Xba I- or I-Ceu I-digested and PFGE-separated genomic DNA were hybridized using DIG DNA Labeling and Detection Kit. To compare the fitness of resistance- lost strains to that of resistant isolates, OD was measured spectrophotometrically. When VIM-2- and IMP-1-producing strains of P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. were stored in CTA at room temperature, some isolates lost imipenem resistance after 3 days and 90% after 15 weeks. Proportion of resistance lost cell increased with time and the rates were 0-92% after storage for 15 weeks depending on strains. Loss of MBL and blaVIM-2 or blaIMP-1 were confirmed from resistance lost cells by the Hodge and double disk synergy test, and by PCR, respectively. Loss of resistance genes resulted in decrease of MIC of imipenem from 32-128 ใŽ/ml to 0.5-8 ใŽ/l for P. aeruginosa and from 32 ใŽ/ml to 0.25-4 ใŽ/ml for Acinetobacter spp. Hybridization of Xba I- or I-Ceu I-digested and PFGE separated genomic DNA suggested the MBL gene is on plasmid. Fitness study did not show evidence that carriage of MBL gene is an increased cost to the organism, suggesting resistant strain can persist in the absence of antimicrobial pressure. In conclusion, some VIM-2- or IMP-1-producing isolates of Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter spp. rapidly lose the resistance gene when stored in CTA at room temperature and MIC of imipenem decrease below 8 ใŽ/ml. Therefore, when resistance gene detection or susceptibility test is delayed, use of freezer-kept stains is necessary. blaVIM-2 is considered to be carried on plasmid.
