3. INTRODUCTION
Burn injury is a global public health problem with approximately 195,000
deaths annually . this injury remains the cause of morbidity and mortality in
Iran with 100,000 burns . Multi drug resistance (MDR) bacterial infection in
burn patients it`s the most common complication in treatment of burn
patients and may lead to more mortality .
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria
considering the second cause of nosocomial infections in burn patients

INTRODUCTION

5. CARBAPENEMASE
carbapenemase–carbapenem inactivating
enzymes-, is one of the most recent, but
perhaps of the greatest concern because
virtually inactivate the last therapeutic step
against multidrug-resistant gram-negative
organisms.
Function: enzymes capable of hydrolyzing
carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem,
ertapenem, doripenem)
INTRODUCTION

6. PULSED-FIELD GEL
ELECTROPHORESIS
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis is a
technique used for the separation of large
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules by
applying to a gel matrix an electric field that
periodically changes direction.
Applications: PFGE may be used for
genotyping or genetic fingerprinting.
Adventages: PFGE subtyping has been
successfully applied to the subtyping of
many pathogenic bacteria and has high
concordance with epidemiological
relatedness.
-DNA restriction patterns generated by
PFGE are stable and reproducible.
INTRODUCTION

7. VARIABLE NUMBER TANDEM REPEAT
loci are chromosomal regions in which
a short DNA sequence is repeated a
variable number of times end-to-end at
a single location. These can be found
on many chromosomes, and often
show variations in length between
individuals. Each variant acts as an
inherited allele, allowing them to be
used for personal or parental
identification.
INTRODUCTION

8. Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacteria able to produce
carbapenemaces, this enzymes provide the bacteria
resistance to medicaments. The most of these
carbapenemases genes are located in mobile genetic element
and can transfer among bacteria. Multiple-locus variable-
number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) is the PCR based
method which is related to the population of VNTR and
different polymorphisms in bacterial genomecan be very
useful for molecular epidemiology; On the other hand,
pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the gold standard
method for A. baumannii typing .

23. Discussion
Author Opinion Agree or
disagree
Azimi. L. Et al. “Burn patients are in the high risk of
nosocomial infections considering the
loss of skin as a first protective barrier.
So, it can cause increasing rate of
morbidity and mortality among these
patients”
Yes.
Owlia. P. Et al. “Carbapenemase producing Gram-
negative bacteria including A.
baumannii, as a second cause of
nosocomial infection in burn patients
in Iran, can have important role in this
area”
Yes.

24. Author Opinion Agree or
disagree
Teo J. Et al. “In this regard molecular epidemiology may be very
important for source and molecular type
determination in carbapenemase producing A.
baumannii in burn care center. In addition, it can
determine the genetic relationship between specimens
that were isolated from different hospitalized patients
especially in different hospital wards. Saranathan et al.
in 2015 showed that eight clusters in their tested
carbapenem resistant A. baumannii by REP-PCR”
Yes
Rafei R. Et al. “The results of our study indicated more potency of
PFGE than MLVA for separating of molecular types in
our isolates. So, according to previous lectures PFGE
remains the gold standard for outbreak investigations
due to its higher discriminatory power”
Yes
Discussion

25. Conclusions
• PFGE continue being the gold standard method for A.
baumannii typing, because it is more especific to
determinate tihe infection.
• Nosocomial infection that are producing by A.
baumannii in burn patients are increasing due multi
drug resistance (MDR), because this bacteria has
many carbapenemases. It means difficulty in the
treatment of bacterial infection and burn.

26. CONCLUSIONS
• PFGE it`s more effective in the separation of
molecular types in their isolates(11 molecular
clusters by PFGE ) compared with MLVA (5 molecular
clusters by MLVA)
• Can be a lot of differences between the bacterias in
latin america and Iran, and we need to study the
pattern between their bacterias and ours
