EVALUATION OF A METHOD FOR DETECTION OF BOTH METALLO BETALACTAMASE (MBL) AND EFFLUX PRODUCTION USING CARBONYL CYANIDE 3-CHLOROPHENYLHYDRAZONE (CCCP)±COMBINATION METHOD AMONG PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS

Objective: To standardize a method for the differential detection of Metallo Betalactamase (MBL) production and efflux pump mechanism using Carbonyl Cyanide 3-ChloroPhenylhydrazone (CCCP) among the clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from ocular specimens.
Methods: A total of 110 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were plated onto Muller-Hinton agar (MHA) plate with CCCP and without CCCP. Carbapenems-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) combination disk method was performed on CCCP± plates for individual isolates and the results were compared.
Results: Out of 110 clinical isolates of P aeruginosa studied, 11(10%) were tested positive for MBL Production by carbapenem-EDTA combination test/CCCP-test. In which, six isolates showed positive for both efflux and MBL production using CCCP+plate and 5 isolates showed positive only for MBL production.
Conclusion: The current study standardized a method for detecting both MBL and efflux mechanism in a single plate consists of CCCP± plate containing antibiotic disk with and without EDTA. Implication of this method in routine diagnostics will help the clinicians to treat the patient with appropriate drug choice and dosage.
