Abstract.
Objectives. To determine the sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates with different antibiotic resistance levels to the preparations for phagotherapy.
Material and methods. Sensitivity of 162 P.aeruginosa clinical isolates obtained in 2010-2014 from hospitalized patients in five Belarusian regions to 4 preparations for phagotherapy (spot-test) and 8 antibiotics (disk-diffusion method) was determined. The lytic bacteriophages from river water samples were isolated and their activity spectrum was determined.
Results. The high prevalence of extremely antibiotic-resistant P.aeruginosa (25,9% of the total number of isolates) was shown. 31,5% of isolates were insensitive to ceftazidime, 66,0% – to cefepime, 84,6% – to imipenem, 95,7% – to meropenem, 82,1% – to aztreonam, 96,9% – to ciprofloxacin, and 87,0% – to amikacin. All isolates were sensitive to colistin. 25,3% of P.aeruginosa isolates were sensitive to «Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage» (Perm city), 22,2% – to «Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage» (Nizhni Novgorod city), 24.1% – to «Sextaphage» (Perm city), 15.4% – to «Pyobacteriophage polyvalent, purified» (Ufa city). The lytic activity level of bacteriophages preparations was shown to be 1.3-2.6 times lower in relation to extremely antibiotic-resistant P.aeruginosa isolates as compared with the antibiotic-sensitive isolates. The phage lysates capable to lyse with intensity «4+» the XDR P.aeruginosa isolates resistant to the action of existing phagotherapy preparations were obtained from external environment objects.
Conclusions. Insufficient microbiological activity of commercially available bacteriophages preparations with the claimed activity in relation to P.aeruginosa was found. The expansion of the activity spectrum of preparations used for phagotherapy can be performed by including in their composition new lytic P.aeruginosa bacteriophages isolated from environmental water samples.
Key words: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, bacteriophages, water, lytic activity.
