Outbreak of cephalosporin resistant Enterobacter cloacae infection
Enterobacter cloacae resistant to third generation cephalosporins emerged rapidly during an outbreak of serious infections due to this organism in a neonatal intensive care unit where ampicillin and gentamicin were used as first line antibiotic treatment. Organisms resistant to cephalosporins were isolated from 12 infants, six of whom developed systemic infection. Two infants died. Isolates of ...
متن کاملPurpura Fulminans due to Enterobacter cloacae.
A 79-year-old Japanese woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, was admitted for an evaluation of progressively worsening left lower extremity pain and purpura.

The physical examination was remarkable for purpura on the left lower extremity (P...
متن کاملAn outbreak of neonatal septicaemia by Enterobacter cloacae
Neonatal septicaemia (NS) is a haunting problem for neonatologists all over the world with considerable morbidity and mortality. The bacteriological profile of NS is constantly changing along with the source of infection. This clinical entity is more commonly associated with preterm and low birthweight babies. In the Indian scenario, members of Enterobacteriaceae continue to be a challenging pr...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of a nosocomial outbreak due to Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter agglomerans in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.
A total of 73 isolates (57 Enterobacter cloacae and 16 Enterobacter agglomerans), recovered during an outbreak of bacteremia in the Campinas area, São Paulo, Brazil, were studied. Of these isolates, 61 were from parenteral nutrition solutions, 9 from blood cultures, 2 from a sealed bottle of parenteral nutrition solution, and one was of unknown origin. Of the 57 E. cloacae isolates, 54 were bio...
متن کاملEnterobacter cloacae Outbreak and Emergence of Quinolone Resistance Gene in Dutch Hospital
An outbreak of Enterobacter cloacae infections with variable susceptibility to fluoroquinolones occurred in the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands in 2002. Our investigation showed that a qnrA1 gene was present in 78 (94%) of 83 outbreak isolates and that a qnrA1-encoding plasmid transferred to other strains of the same species and other species. The earliest isolate carrying ...
