Dissociated resistance among cephalosporins.
When disks containing cefuroxime (CXM) or HR 756 (756) were placed next to cefoxitin (FOX) on plates inoculated with Enterobacter resistant to FOX, there was marked flattening of the zones of inhibition produced by CXM or 756, but colonies growing near the CXM or 756 disks were found to be fully susceptible to these drugs on retesting. In contrast, when a checkerboard titration with CXM or 756 ...
متن کاملThe evolution of resistance to cephalosporins.
The expression of resistance to cephalosporins is highly varied and due to various mechanisms. The greatest disadvantage of the cephalosporins is that they are inactivated by the array of beta-lactamases produced by bacteria. The high levels of chromosomal enzymes produced by these organisms are a major cause of cephalosporin resistance. Plasmid-mediated beta-lactamases (PMBLs) have also been i...
متن کاملOccasional Survey Choice among Penicillins and Cephalosporins *
In 1944 medical personnel in London was scattered and communications were difficult, but a meeting at the Royal Society of Medicine in November of that year was one of the most crowded ever held there. Such an audience could then have been attracted by only one subject, penicillin, which at that time was proving its worth in the treatment of battle casualties. Of the opening speakers, Fleming i...
متن کاملRisk factors for emergence of resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins among Enterobacter spp.
Among 477 patients with susceptible Enterobacter spp., 49 subsequently harbored third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacter spp. Broad-spectrum cephalosporins were independent risk factors for resistance (relative risk [OR] = 2.3, P = 0.01); quinolone therapy was protective (OR = 0.4, P = 0.03). There were trends toward decreased risk for resistance among patients receiving broad-spec...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins among Enterobacter aerogenes strains.
Resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins commonly develops in Enterobacter aerogenes during therapy due to selection of mutants producing high levels of the chromosomal Bush group 1 beta-lactamase. Recently, resistant strains producing plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have been isolated as well. A study was designed to investigate ESBL production among 31 clinica...
