1. DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY
KARPAGAM FACULTY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH
Dr. SHREERAM A. DESHPANDE, MBBS, MD.,
Dr. R. SOMESHWARAN, MBBS, MD.,
2. CLINICAL SCENARION
• A clinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL +
Carbapenemase in Urine in a 39 years old female.
12/17/15 2
3. ESBLs and Carbapenemases
• ESBLs:
Extended spectrum Beta lactamases are enzymes
produced by certain bacteria especially among
Enterobacteriaceae members like Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Proteus
spp., and also observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and Acinetobacter baumannii causing Nosocomial
infections.
ESBLs prevalence:
Hospital acquired/ Nosocomial – 80% - Community acquired – 20%
12/17/15 4
4. ESBLs and Carbapenemases
• Carbapenemases:
Carbapenemase producing bacteria are resistant to
Carbapenems like Meropenem, Imipenem,
Doripenem and or Ertapenem.
Ex: Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)
12/17/15 5
5. Significance of ESBL and Carbapenemases
• ESBLs are resistant to beta lactam antibiotics
like Penicillins, Cephalosporins (I, II, II Gen) and
Monobactam (Ao) and Carbapenemase
resistant to Carbapenems like Imipenem,
Meropenem and etc.,
• Risk of spread - Environment
• Morbidity and Mortality - High
• Nosocomial infection - Common
• Treating physician is left with a only limited
choice of antibiotics – poses a threat12/17/15 6

21. What to do ???
• No sensitive drugs observed in I & II line antibiotic list
• Isolate was Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL positive With ?
Carbapenemase.
• We subjected the isolate for III line disc antibiotic
susceptibility to confirm the diagnosis of Carbapenemase
production.

25. ESBL Screening
• Ceftazidime (Ca) and Ceftazidime –
Clavulanate (Cac) identification antibiotic discs
are used as per Clinical Laboratory Standards
Institute (CLSI) guidelines 2014.
• A zone difference of ≥ 5mm in Cac and Ca
discs is suggestive of ESBLs.
12/17/15 29
31. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
• ESBL producing bacteria are resistant to beta
lactam antibiotics like Penicillins and 1st
, 2nd
, 3rd
,
4th
generation Cephalosporinsm Aztreonam.
Note:
5th
Generation antibiotics like Ceftabipirole and
Ceftaroline are effective against MRSA & VRE but
against ESBL.

36. Carbapenemase confirmation
• Modified Hodge test – will be a confirmatory test for
Carbapenemase producer.
• Lawn culture of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, 10µg of
Meropenem, isolate to be checked
• “Clover-Leaf pattern of indentation at the intersection
of the test organism and the ATCC strain within the
zone of inhibition” is confirmatory for Carbapenemase
production.
12/17/15 40
39. Final identification
• Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL + Carbapenemase
producer 105
CFU/mL sensitive to Tigecycline
and Colistin only in urine.
12/17/15 43
Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)
40. Preventive measures
• Hand washing
• Disinfection measures
• Fumigation of wards
• Isolation of patient
• Educate nursing staff and other health care
providers on Nosocomial infections, Multidrug
resistant bugs, their treatment, Prevention.
• Rationale use of Antibiotics by physicians
12/17/15 44
41. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• If you see a report of ESBL producing
Enterobacteriaceae – Don’t prescribe Beta
Lactam Antibiotics like Penicillins and
Cephalosporins.
• Beta lactamase inhibitors like Piperacillin
Tazobactum or Aminoglycosides or
Fluoroquinolones may be used provided they are
sensitive.
• Hand washing is an easy, feasible remedy to
prevent ESBL producers in the Hospitals.

43. TROUBLE SHOOTING
• Sample collection – As per SOP
• Referral form Filling
• Turn Around Time (TAT)
• Chief complaints – Patient details
• Working diagnosis
• Treating physician name and signature
• Antibiotic details
• Communication – Intercom
• Hospital Infection Control Committee (HICC)
• Hospital Antibiotic Policy (HAP)
• Clinical Audit at regular intervals
• OP patients – Track record to be maintained (Publishing papers)
