Antimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
Fifty random clinical isolates of Haemophilus parainfluenzae were tested for their susceptibility to 10 antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution method. Three of the strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, whereas eight were resistant to tetracycline. All strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, gentamicin, cephalothin, and colistin. The ranges of minimal inhibitory...

متن کاملCharacterization of ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
Carriage of ampicillin-resistant (Ampr) Haemophilus parainfluenzae has become frequent among children in our community, although carriage of Ampr Haemophilus influenzae remains uncommon. In this study we characterized the mechanism of ampicillin resistance in 27 representative isolates of H. parainfluenzae. As determined by isoelectric focusing, each isolate had a TEM-1 beta-lactamase; substrat...
متن کاملHaemophilus parainfluenzae urethritis among homosexual men.
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a common inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract of the normal oral microflora. We report three men who had been having unprotected sex with men (MSM) and subsequently acquired H. parainfluenzae urethritis, which was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Two men were treated with ceftriaxone and doxycycline, and the third man was treated with clar...
