Background and objectives: Nowadays, there is an emerging increase in drug resistance in medical centers due
to extended use of third generation cephalosporins. This study was conducted to evaluate antibiotic sensitivity
profiles of Esherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected from four medical centers (Imam
Khomeini, Sina, Shohada and Pediatrics) in Tabriz and detection of presence of blaSHV gene among the isolates.
Materials and methods: In total 41 isolates of Escherichia coli and 47 isolates of Klebseilla pneumoniae
were collected from medical centers. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolated were determined by using
drug susceptibility test according to Kirby-Bauer method. Combined disk test was also used as confirmatory test,
and the findings were adapted with CLSI standard. PCR technique was used for investigation of presence blaSHV
gene in final step .
Results: Among the E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, 33 (80.49%) and 43 (91.48%) were resistant to
ceftazidime and 32(78.05%) and 42 (89.36%) were resistant to cefotaxime respectively. Forthy out of 41 E. coli
isolates (97.5%) were ESBL producers, which among them 7 isolates (17.0%) contained blaSHV gene. Among 47
K. pneumoniae isolates, 46 (97.8%) were ESBL producers which 12 isolates (25.5%) contained blaSHV gene. All
of the E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates were sensitive to imipenem.
Conclusion: The high resistance profiles encountered in E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, underlines need for
accurate sensitivity testing and also avoidance from inappropriate use of antibiotics in management of ESBL
producing bacteria is recommended.
