Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium marinum.
In vitro activities of 17 antibiotics against 53 clinical strains of Mycobacterium marinum, an atypical mycobacterium responsible for cutaneous infections, were determined using the reference agar dilution method. Rifampin and rifabutin were the most active drugs (MICs at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited [MIC(90)s], 0.5 and 0.6 microgram/ml, respectively). MICs of minocycline (MI...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium marinum to eight antimicrobial agents.
The in vitro susceptibilities of 16 Mycobacterium marinum strains to eight antimicrobial agents were determined by the agar dilution technique. The most active drugs were amikacin and kanamycin. Tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline were inhibitory, predominantly at concentrations slightly below the expected blood and tissue levels. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and erythromycin demonstrat...

متن کاملThe Impact of Overexpression of Sigma Factors on Morphological Changes, Growth Pattern, and Biofilm Formation in Mycobacterium marinum CCUG 20998
Introduction: Bacteria have at least one sigma factor (σ-factor) that transcribes the genes required for cell viability. Usually, transcription of σ-factors occurs and changes in response to a variety of environmental stresses. Expression of σ-factors is one of the strategies which is used in response to different stress conditions. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects...
متن کاملMycobacterium Marinum: A Case Report
The patient developed a lesion on his right hand after sustaining an abrasion while he cleaned his boat, which progressed to formation of other lesions that spread proximally on his right arm and resulted in an abscess to his right elbow. In this case report, we will discuss the patient’s history and clinical assessment, the timeline, the clinical course and interventions, and the epidemiology ...
