Aminoglycoside cross-resistance patterns of gentamicin-resistant bacteria.
Ten strains each of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were habituated to gentamicin by serial passage in antibiotic containing medium. Complete cross-resistance to streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, and tobramycin in a linear proportional fashion was demonstrated at all stages of habituation. Most strains of Staph. aureus and Ps. aeruginosa showed a greater inc...
متن کامل5-epi-Sisomicin and 5-epi-Gentamicin B: substrates for aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes that retain activity against aminoglycoside-resistant bacteria.
A number of bacterial strains, each possessing a different aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme, were examined for susceptibility to sisomicin and gentamicin B and the semisynthetic derivatives 5-epi-sisomicin and 5-epi-gentamicin B. Although strains possessing AAC (6') or APH(3') enzymes were equally resistant to the 5-epi-compounds, those possessing AAC(3)-I, ANT(2"), or AAC(2') enzymes were much ...
متن کاملAminoglycoside modification by gentamicin-resistant isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.
Three clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, which were previously shown to contain a 50S plasmid conferring resistance to several aminoglycosides, were examined for modifying enzymes. Both the wild-type and heat-cured derivatives of the isolates were screened for acetyl-, adenylyl-, and phosphotransferase activities. The substrates were gentamicin, amikacin, and netilmicin; the results in...
متن کاملFrequency of resistance to kanamycin, tobramycin, netilmicin, and amikacin in gentamicin-resistant gram-negative bacteria.
In vitro evaluation of 66 epidemiologically distinct, gentamicin-resistant, gram-negative isolates from four hospitals revealed that 92% were kanamycin resistant, 44% were netilmicin resistant, 41% were tobramycin resistant, and 6% were amikacin resistant. Combined resistance to gentamicin, tobramycin, and netilmicin occurred in 30% of the strains. Although the resistance percentage to amikacin...
متن کاملAmifloxacin activity against well-defined gentamicin-resistant, gram-negative bacteria.
Amifloxacin (WIN 49375) activity against a well-defined group of gentamicin-resistant gram-negative bacilli was compared with the activity of 11 other antimicrobial agents. For all strains, amifloxacin and norfloxacin were the most active agents, followed by cefotaxime and moxalactam. For Acinetobacter sp. only amifloxacin had an achievable MIC for 90% of the strains. Amifloxacin joins other ne...
