Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze samples and identify the most frequent genes that conferred resistance to the beta-lactam antimicrobials (ampicillin and methicillin).

Method and Materials: Sixty-seven samples were collected between 2007 and 2008 from clinical veterinary centers of the University of Chile and analysed through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.

Results: Amplification by PCR detected DNA fragments from the blaTEM gene in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Also the mecA gene was detected in Gram-positive bacteria.

Conclusion: These findings argue that a high number of bacteria express these genes, which should generate great concern to those responsible for the veterinary hospital locations of the University of Chile. Furthermore, as a preventive measure many efforts should be made in order to solve this problem.
