Abstract :

Antibiotics have been used extensively to treat infectious diseases, but now the effectiveness of antibiotic use has declined, this is caused by bacteria that have been resistant to antibiotics. One of them is Pseudomonas aeruginosa which was resistant to several antibio-tick by the pumps MexA-MexB efflux-OprM. Allegedly on mexB gene fragment has the nucleotide sequence changes, which cause amino acid changes, resulting in the recognition of substrates is also changing. Changes in place resulted in recognition of this substrate is not known, and antibiotics are pumped out of bacterial cells, so the concentration of inhibition in the cells will not be achieved. Research conducted observations of the four isolates of P. aeruginosa A, B, C and D obtained from four laboratories in Bandung and test the resistance to several antibiotics (tetracycline, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic, kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin and chlor-amfenikol). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), the four isolates of P. aeruginosa is 20.57 to 39.07 mg/ml for erythromycin, 29.35 to 48.57 mg/ml for kanamycin, 30.35 to 68.75 mg/ml for tetrasilkin, 45.57 to 97.50 mg/ml for ampicillin, 23.69 to 97.50 mg/ml for chloramphenicol, 25.82 to 59.56 mg/ml for amoxicillin-clavulanic, 21.88 to 79.00 mg/ml for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and 20.58 to 56.97 mg/ml to ciprofloxacin. Increased MIC of each antibiotic showed the four isolates of P. aeruginosa multiresistance to several antibiotics tested. PCR fragments used for detection of suspected mexB substrate recognition site. Percentage nucleotide sequence homology between mexB isolate of multiresistant and mexB of P. aeruginosa which secrete siderofor pioverdin (L11616, NCBI), showed to isolate 96%, to isolate B 100%, to isolate C 97%, and to isolate D 96%. By using the DNA Star program can be a variation of the gene fragment was detected in four isolates of mexB multiresistance P. aeruginosa isolates A, B, and C and D. These variations cause changes in amino acid isolates A GLI → 417Ser, isolate B → 417Gln Glu, Tre → 424Pro, isolate C Tyr → 328Phe, isolate D Asp → 328His, accompanied by changes in secondary structure, resulting in changes in protein function MexB.
