Dissemination of an antibiotic resistance plasmid in hospital patient flora.
The 2'' aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase, AAD (2''), which adenylates gentamicin, tobramycin, and kanamycin, became prevalent over several months in multiple strains and species of Enterobacteriaceae isolated at one hospital. Eight plasmids with the gene for this enzyme purified from different strains and species isolated at different times had similar EcoRI digestion fragments, indicating...
متن کاملPlasmid mediated antibiotic resistance
Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae that are common colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract. Extended spectrum βlactamases (ESBL) are bacterial enzymes that degrade β-lactam antibiotics and thus make the bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) is an increasing problem constituting a burden o...
متن کاملplasmid mediated antibiotic resistance in isolated bacteria from burned patients
conclusions based on our findings, p. aerugionsa is a major causative agent of wound infections and amikacin could be considered as a more effective antibiotic for treatment of the burned patients. background nowadays, the treatment of burned patients is difficult because of the high frequency of infection with antibiotic resistance bacteria. objectives this study was conducted to evaluate the ...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance dissemination and sewage treatment plants
Antibiotics are a class of naturally-occurring and synthetic chemical compounds with antimicrobial activity and are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. The increasing incidence of resistance to a wide range of antibiotic agents by a variety of organisms is a major concern facing modern medicine. There is widespread speculation that sewage treatment plants (STPs) and aquatic environmen...
متن کاملCommensal Flora May Play Key Role in Spreading Antibiotic Resistance
A ntibiotic resistance among commensal bacteria represents a major avenue for the development of resistance in bacterial pathogens. Although the concept that commensal flora play a major role in disseminating bacterial resistance was developed at least 30 years ago, it was set aside for several reasons. First, the more immediate threat to humans from resistant bacteria is due to pathogens, not ...
