Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the disinfectantresistant gene qacE△1sul1 in clinical multidrugresistant (MDR) gramnegative bacilli.MethodsPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect disinfectantresistant gene qacE△1sul1 in 235 isolates from clinic,including 155 multidrugresistant and 80 antimicrobial susceptible isolates. PCR products were sequenced by DNA sequencing.ResultsAmong 50 strains of ESBLsproducing Escherichia coli, 27 ESBLsproducing Klebsiella pneumoniae, 50 MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 28 MDR Acinetobacter baumannii,disinfectantresistant gene qacE△1sul1 were detected in 37(74.00%),24(88.89%),46(92.00%)and 28 strains(100.00%),respectively, the total detection rate was 87.10%; Among nonESBLsproducing antimicrobial susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii (each were 20 isolates),disinfectantresistant gene qacE△1sul1 were detected in 16(80.00%),7(35.00%),5 (25.00%)and 13 strains(65.00%),respectively, the total detection rate of qacE△1sul1 gene was 51.25%.ConclusionDisinfectantresistant gene qacE△1sul1 has a high detection rate in clinical MDR gramnegative bacilli in this hospital, it is important to the rational use of disinfectant by intensifying the monitor on the disinfectantresistance of MDR .
