Resumen
Objetivo

Determinar las mutaciones del gen gyrA asociadas con la resistencia a fluoroquinolonas en Acinetobacter baumannii.

Materiales y métodos

Entre agosto de 2005 y febrero de 2007 se recolectaron 23 aislamientos de A. baumannii de una clínica privada de tercer nivel de Montería. Se investigaron los genes gyrA, parC y adeB; este último codifica para la bomba de salida. Se realizó secuenciación del ADN y, para el análisis de las secuencias, se usaron la base de datos GenBank y el motor de búsqueda BLASTX.

Resultados

La amplificación del gen gyrA en aislamientos de A. baumannii generó un fragmento de 343 pb, el cual presentó pérdida del sitio de restricción con la enzima Hinfl en 12/23 (52,1%) de los aislamientos resistentes a fluoroquinolonas. La secuenciación del fragmento mostró mutación puntual conel cambio de Ser-83 a Leu, código de acceso GenBank EU886740. No se encontraron mutaciones en el gen parC, ni la presencia de la bomba de salida Ade.

Conclusión

Los aislamientos de A. baumannii resistentes a fluoroquinolonas sugieren que la mutación del gen gyrA que codifica el cambio del aminoácido serina a leucina en el codón 83 de estos aislamientos, es responsable o, al menos, contribuye con la resistencia expresada a las fluoroquinolonas.

Abstract
Objective

Determine mutations in the gyrA gene associated to resistance to fluoroquinolones in A. baumannii.

Materials and methods

From August, 2005 to February, 2007, 23 A. baumannii isolates were collected in a third level private clinic in Monteria. Research on gyrA, parC and AdeB genes was carried out, and the latter encodes for the efflux pump. DNA sequencing was performed, and the GenBank database and BLASTX search engine were used for sequence analysis.

Results

Amplification of the gyrA gene in A. baumannii isolates generated a 343pb fragment which presented loss of restriction site with the enzyme HinfI in 12/23 (52.1%) of the isolates resistant to fluoroquinolones. The fragment sequencing showed mutation characterized by the change of Ser-83 to Leu GenBank acces code EU886740. None of the isolates showed mutations in the parC gene or presence of the AdeB efflux pump.

Conclusion

The A. baumannii isolates resistant to fluoroquinolones suggest that mutation of the gyrA gene encoding the serine amino acid change to leucine at codon 83 of these isolates is responsible or at least contributes to the mentioned resistance to fluoroquinolones.
