Cross-resistance to meropenem, cephems, and quinolones in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Multiple-drug-resistant mutants were isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 on agar plates containing ofloxacin and cefsulodin. These mutants were four to eight times more resistant to meropenem, cephems, carbenicillin, quinolones, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol than the parent strain was. In contrast, these mutants showed no significant changes in their susceptibilities to all carbapenem...
متن کاملMechanisms of high-level resistance to quinolones in urinary tract isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Twenty-eight strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with various degrees of norfloxacin resistance were isolated from patients with urinary tract infections. P. aeruginosa strains (norfloxacin MICs, 3.13 to 200 micrograms/ml) were transformed by either pPAW207 or pNF111 plasmid DNA, which included either the gyrA or nfxB gene, respectively. For transformants with pPAW207, norfloxacin MICs decreased ...
متن کاملMathematical modelling response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to meropenem.
OBJECTIVES Widespread emergence of resistance to antimicrobial agents is a serious problem. The rate at which new agents are made available clinically is unlikely to keep up with these resistant pathogens, and there is an urgent need to accelerate antimicrobial agent development. We explored the use of mathematical modelling to guide selection of dosing regimens. METHODS Using time-kill studi...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa carbapenem resistance mechanisms in Spain: impact on the activity of imipenem, meropenem and doripenem.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in the 175 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (39%; 175/448) showing non-susceptibility (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing breakpoints) to imipenem (35%), meropenem (33%) and/or doripenem (33%) recovered in 2008-09 from 16 Spanish hospitals during the Comparative Activity of Carbapenem Testing (COMPACT) surv...
متن کاملRelation between Resistance to Antipseudomonal β-Lactams and ampC and mexC Genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: In order to select a better antibiotic choice for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of resistance to some antipseudomonal β-lactams in P. aeruginosa isolates from patients in Tehran, Iran. In addition, the relation between presence of genes known to be responsible for resist...
