Molecular characterization of a clinical Haemophilus parainfluenzae isolate with cefotaxime resistance and decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones.
We report an H. parainfluenzae clinical isolate resistant to cefotaxime and with decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin recovered from a patient with cystic fibrosis. The isolate had elevated MICs of ampicillin (256mg/L), amoxicillin-clavulanate (8mg/L), cefuroxime (8mg/L) and cefotaxime (4mg/L), and showed a β-lactamase-producing amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-resistant (BLPACR) phenotype. A b...
متن کاملAssociation of two resistance mechanisms in a clinical isolate of Enterobacter cloacae with high-level resistance to imipenem.
Carbapenem resistance was studied in a clinical isolate of Enterobacter cloacae, strain 201 (MIC of imipenem and meropenem, 16 micrograms/ml). This strain was analyzed comparatively with the carbapenem-susceptible parent strain 200, an equally susceptible revertant, 201-Rev, and in vitro-selected mutants with different levels of carbapenem resistance. All strains produced similarly high amounts...
متن کاملAltered PBP 2A and its role in the development of penicillin, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone resistance in a clinical isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
We report the unusual involvement of altered PBP 2A in the development of beta-lactam resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae. This was investigated amid three identical serotype 14 isolates (designated isolates 1, 2, and 3, respectively) of pneumococci cultured successfully from the blood of a human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive child with recurrent pneumonia. The passage of this strain t...
متن کاملClinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with different susceptibilities to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime.
Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime are extended-spectrum cephalosporins previously demonstrated to possess very similar in vitro activities against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Anecdotal reports of isolates with divergent in vitro susceptibilities to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime have been published. To determine the prevalence of pneumococcal isolates with divergent ceftriaxone and cefotaxime susceptibiliti...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
