The increase in bacterial resistance to antimicrobials represents a challenge in its management and a problem for public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the opportunistic and nosocomial pathogens of greatest clinical relevance due to resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics such as carbapenems, which makes its treatment difficult. The aim of this study was to molecularly characterize carbapenem-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa from hospital-infected patients at the Hospital Centers of Ayacucho, January-June 2022, focusing on the detection and sequencing of the blaIMP, blaVIM, blaNDM genes. To achieve this aim, resistant to carbapenems strains of P. aeruginosa were identified using 86 files of IAAS (infections associated with health care), obtaining 11 cases of P. aeruginosa, 5 of which presented resistance to carbapenems. To obtain the young culture, the reactivation of the 5 strains was carried out. Biochemical tests were performed to confirm that the strains were P. aeruginosa. The reactivated strains were sequenced using Oxford Nanopore technology. Through bioinformatics analysis, the presence of two types of the blaIMP gene, blaIMP-74 and blaIMP-16, was determined but only in some strains. At the laboratory level (wet lab), the presence of the genes studied was validated (confirmed) with electrophoresis. In conclusion, the presence of the blaIMP-74 and blaIMP-16 genes was determined only in the PsAs01 and PsAs05 strains, and all the strains studied do not present the blaVIM and blaNDM genes. The detection of genes that generate resistance to carbapenems would allow us to see therapeutic options with greater effectiveness, as well as have information to predict outbreaks, and thus be able to formulate more effective strategies for the control and prevention of infections caused by P. aeruginosa.
