Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Corynebacterium striatum

Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Corynebacterium striatum.

The in vitro activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 86 strains of Corynebacterium striatum were evaluated by microdilution using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. MICs at which 90% of strains were inhibited were 0.06 microgram/ml for teicoplanin, 1 microgram/ml for vancomycin, 0.03 to 8 micrograms/ml for beta-lactams, 8 micrograms/ml for sparfloxacin, 16 micrograms/ml for ciprofloxac...

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia by Acinetobacter baumannii And antimicrobial susceptibility pattern

Background: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the serious complications of ventilator support occurring in ICUs. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) isolated from patients with VAP by two methods: disk diffusion and E. test. Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study was conducted in the four ICUs of Ras...

Corynebacterium equi: in vitro susceptibility to twenty-six antimicrobial agents.

The minimal concentrations of 26 antimicrobial agents required to inhibit growth of 100 isolates of Corynebacterium equi in vitro have been determined. The most active agents were penicillin G, doxycycline, erythromycin, lincomycin, and the aminoglycosides.

Multidrug-Resistant Corynebacterium striatum Associated with Increased Use of Parenteral Antimicrobial Drugs

resistant bacteria. We retrospectively identified 179 isolates in a clinical database. Clinical relevance, in vitro susceptibility, and length of parenteral antimicrobial drug use were obtained from patient records. For patients with hardwareor device-associated infections, those with C. striatum infections were matched with patients infected with coagulase-negative staphylococci for case–contr...
