Klebsiella producing DMA plasmid AmpC beta-lactamase. IPI: Imipenem+MBL (metallo-beta-lactamase) inhibitor (EDTA), IP: ImipenemThere is some non-specific decrease in imipenem MIC in the presence of the inhibitor but not as dramatic as what you will see with a true MBL producer. DHA is a class C enzyme that is inhibited by boronic acid and cloxacillin.
Klebsiella pneumoniae KPC ATCC control strain. There is no significant fall of imipenem in the presence of MBL inhibitor. This is becase KPC is a class A enzyme that is inhibited by clavulanic acid
Klebsiella class B metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) producer. There is a dramatic decrease in imipenem MIC in thepresence of inhibitor. The inhibitor (EDTA) is a metal chelator that prevents zinc ions from reaching the active site of the enzyme.
Clockwise from bottom right. Meropenem; Meropenem + Boronic acid; Meropenem +Cloxacillin; Meropenem +EDTAKlebsiella plasmid AmpC DHA producer. Class C enzymes are inhibited by boronic acid and cloxacillin. This strain also shows some non-specific inhibition with EDTA.
Clockwise from bottom right. Meropenem; Meropenem + EDTA; Meropenem +Cloxacillin; Meropenem +boronic acidKlebsiella plasmid ATCC KPC control. KPC enzymes are only inhibited by boronic acid
Clockwise from bottom right. Meropenem; Meropenem + boronic acid ; Meropenem +Cloxacillin; Meropenem +EDTA. Klebsiella metallo-beta-lactamase NDM-1 producer. There is a large zone of inhibition around the meropenem disk with added EDTA indicating the presence of a MBL. There is also a suggestion of inhibition around the meropenem disk with added boronic acid. This strain produced both NDM-1 MBL and CMY and DHA plasmid AmpC enzymes-but the MBL is swamping the effects of the plasmid AmpC so that the AmpC phenotype is not seen.
