Nosocomially acquired Pseudomonas cepacia infection in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas cepacia is a significant respiratory pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).‘-‘j Since the first reports of its increasing prevalence and association with rapid pulmonary function decline and unexpected deaths,‘JJ many studies have been conducted in attempts to elucidate its epidemiology in CF patients.s,“14 Surveillance in more than 100 United States CF centers has shown th...
متن کاملPseudomonas cepacia in cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas cepacia, a Gram negative bacillus first described as a cause of soft rot in onions, is now recognised as an important opportunistic pathogen in altered hosts.' A distant relation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it is ubiquitous in the environment and frequently found in association with soil, water, and plants. It is a hardy organism, able to multiply in distilled water and survive in ma...
متن کاملDiabetic ulcers--a clinical and bacteriological study.
In an 8 month period we have studied 100 consecutive patients with diabetic ulcers. The sex distribution was even. Eighty-three percent had non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Sixty-nine percent of the ulcers were gangrenous as opposed to neuropathic and over half the ulcers involved the big toes. Osteomyclitis was seen in 44% of the patients. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli wer...
متن کاملPure Culture of Pseudomonas cepacia
A pure culture of Pseudomonas cepacia, designated AC1100, that can utilize 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) as its sole source of carbon and energy was isolated. An actively growing culture of AC1100 was able to degrade more than 97% of 2,4,5-T, present at 1 mg/ml, within 6 days as determined by chloride release, gas chromatographic, and spectrophotometric analyses. The ability of AC...
متن کاملPseudomonas cepacia susceptibility to sulbactam.
For 25 of 32 Pseudomonas cepacia isolates, predominantly from sputum of adult patients, agar dilution MICs of sulbactam were 2.5 micrograms/ml, and for only one was the MIC more than 80 micrograms/ml. Susceptibility was reliably predicted by response to a commercial sulbactam-ampicillin disk.
