Clonal dissemination of Yersinia enterocolitica strains with various susceptibilities to nalidixic acid.
Ten epidemiologically related Yersinia enterocolitica clinical isolates were studied. Six isolates were nalidixic acid resistant (MIC > 512 microg/ml), with mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA gene, suggesting clonal dissemination of a nalidixic acid-susceptible Y. enterocolitica strain which has acquired different mutations generating resistance to nalid...
متن کاملFurther characterization of three Yersinia enterocolitica strains with a nalidixic acid-resistant phenotype isolated from humans with diarrhea.
Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria pose a threat to public health. Three Yersinia enterocolitica strains cultured from patients presenting with diarrhea and resistant to nalidixic acid were studied. Target gene mutations in gyrA alone were identified as part of the genetic basis for this phenotype. Efflux activity was also noted, since the presence of the efflux pump inhibitor, phenylalanine-argi...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of food-isolated strains of Yersinia enterocolitica, Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii, and Y. kristensenii.
The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Yersinia enterocolitica and newly related species isolated from foods was examined. Only 4 of 375 isolates displayed resistance to non-ss-lactam antibiotics. MICs of ampicillin and carbenicillin determined by agar dilution with respect to 125 isolates showed the high susceptibility of Y. kristensenii and biovar 3 of Y. enterocolitica to carbenicillin...
متن کاملSusceptibilities of Yersinia pestis strains to 12 antimicrobial agents.
Ninety-two strains of Yersinia pestis recovered over a 21-year period were evaluated for susceptibility to traditional and newer antimicrobial agents. In vitro resistance was noted only against rifampin and imipenem (approximately 20% of strains). The most active compounds (MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested are inhibited) against Y. pestis were cefixime, ceftriaxone, trimethoprim-sulfamet...
متن کاملEpidemiological study of resistance to nalidixic acid and other antibiotics in clinical Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 isolates.
Forty-six Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 clinical isolates resistant to nalidixic acid were studied. The use of molecular typing techniques, other indicators of resistance patterns, the plasmid profile, and the presence of genes that encode aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme production suggested to us a clonal dissemination of the studied strains.
