Antimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical Desulfovibrio isolates.
The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 16 clinical isolates of Desulfovibrio spp. were determined. All or most isolates were susceptible to imipenem (MIC(90) [MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited], 0.5 microg/ml), metronidazole (MIC(90), 0.25 microg/ml), clindamycin (MIC(90), 4 microg/ml), and chloramphenicol (MIC(90), 16 microg/ml) but were resistant or intermediate to penicil...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility and carbapenemase resistance determinants among Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Emerging carbapenem resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates is a worldwide problem. Infections caused by A. baumannii are increasing and demonstrate high mortality rates. This study aimed to establish a nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility, carbapenemase genes, and clonal relationships of A. baumannii clinical isolates in Taiwan. METHODS Clinic...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of Campylobacter coli clinical isolates.
INTRODUCTION Campylobacter spp. is a major cause of acute bacterial diarrhea in humans worldwide, and C. coli is responsible for 10% of the cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study was made of the antimicrobial susceptibility using the E-test(®), and the clonal relationship using PCR-RFLP, of the flaA gene, as well as PFGE techniques on 43 C. coli clinical isolates. RESULTS Only 49% and 2% of t...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical isolates of HACEK organisms.
The "HACEK" organisms are a group of fastidious Gram-negative bacteria that cause a variety of infections, including infective endocarditis. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is not universally available, and therapy for these infections is often empirical. We report the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 70 clinical HACEK isolates to 18 antimicrobials. All isolates were susceptible to ceftri...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of geographically diverse clinical human isolates of Leptospira.
Although antimicrobial therapy of leptospirosis has been studied in a few randomized controlled clinical studies, those studies were limited to specific regions of the world and few have characterized infecting strains. A broth microdilution technique for the assessment of antibiotic susceptibility has been developed at Brooke Army Medical Center. In the present study, we assessed the susceptib...
