Abstract:

Gram negative Bacilli isolates resistant to imipenem were screened phenotypically for  Metallo Beta Lactamase( MBL) production by EDTA Disc Synergy (EDS) method and MIC reduction test. EDTA, a chelating agent which inhibits the production of MBL and hence incorporation of EDTA to the resistant strains, results in the zone formation. In this study, Minimal Inhibitory Concentration for Imipenem was also estimated and the incorporation of EDTA to the drug dilution plates differentiated all MBL producing Gram negative Bacilli.


Keywords: MBL(Metallo Beta Lactamase),MIC   EDTA  (Ethylene DiamineTetra Aceticacid).
