Background: Permafrost preserves a variety of viable ancient microorganisms. Some of them can be cultivated after being kept at subzero temperatures for thousands or even millions of years. Objective: To cultivate bacterial strains from permafrost. Design: We isolated and cultivated two bacterial strains from permafrost that was obtained at Mammoth Mountain in Siberia and attributed to the Midd...
متن کاملAttempted transfer of antibiotic resistance between Bacteroides and Escherichia coli.
Transfer of antibiotic resistance between Bacteroides organisms and E. coli in mixed culture under optimal anaerobic conditions was attempted. Donor strains used were E. coli with R factors of a number of compatibility groups and Bacteroides with unusually high antibiotic resistance. Recipient strains included E. coli strains with characteristics favouring conjugal transfer. Although control ex...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci and micrococci.
Five hundred and seventy strains of Gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulasenegative cocci from various sources were classified on the basis of their ability to grow anaerobically and to ferment mannitol. Five groups were distinguished. The frequency of strains classified in the five groups varied with the source. Only 26% of the strains were sensitive to all the nine antibiotics used in the...
متن کاملLinezolid Resistance in Staphylococci
Linezolid, the first oxazolidinone to be used clinically, is effective in the treatment of infections caused by various Gram-positive pathogens, including multidrug resistant enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus. It has been used successfully for the treatment of patients with endocarditis and bacteraemia, osteomyelitis, joint infections and tuberculosis and it is often us...
