Beta-lactam resistance in normal faecal flora from South Africa.
The genetic and biochemical basis of ampicillin resistance amongst the aerobic Gram-negative commensal faecal flora of healthy volunteers in South Africa has been determined. Amongst 608 ampicillin resistant strains isolated from 320 of the participants, 158 were able to transfer their ampicillin resistant determinants into Escherichia coli K-12 J62-2. Iso-electric focusing of the beta-lactamas...
متن کاملFaecal flora in spondyloarthropathy.
Enterobacteria, in particular Klebsiella spp., have been implicated in the aetiopathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis. A comprehensive examination of the faecal flora of 82 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, either primary (67), or in association with inflammatory bowel disease (4), reactive arthritis (6) or psoriatic arthritis (5), was performed and compared with that of a control populati...
متن کاملβ-Lactam Resistance and Enterobacteriaceae, United States
Extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) are an important drug class for treating severe Salmonella infections. We screened the human collection from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System 2000 for ESC resistance mechanisms. Of non-Typhi Salmonella tested, 3.2% (44/1,378) contained blaCMY genes. Novel findings included blaCMY-positive Escherichia coli O157:H7 and a blaSHV-positiv...
متن کاملLevels of quinolone resistance in Escherichia coli from faecal flora of pigs
Emergence of bacterial strains resistant to antimicrobials is a matter of concern both in human and veterinary medicines. Fluoroquinolones are an important class of antibiotics for treatment of human infections due to gram-negative bacteria such as urinary and gastrointestinal tracts infections [8; 11]. Risk factors for selection of fluoroquinolone-resistant strains are known to be prophylactic...
متن کاملSynergistic, collaterally sensitive β-lactam combinations suppress resistance in MRSA
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most prevalent multidrug-resistant pathogens worldwide, exhibiting increasing resistance to the latest antibiotic therapies. Here we show that the triple β-lactam combination meropenem-piperacillin-tazobactam (ME/PI/TZ) acts synergistically and is bactericidal against MRSA subspecies N315 and 72 other clinical MRSA isolates in vit...
