Trend of antibiotic resistance of Vibrio cholerae strains from East Delhi.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Epidemics of cholera caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 (Bengal strain) represent a major public health problem in most developing countries. In view of the reported shift in epidemiology and pattern of antibiotic resistance in this was study carried out to assess the development of resistance to essential drugs like fluoroquinolones during treatment of chole...
متن کاملDrug-Resistance Mechanisms in Vibrio cholerae O1 Outbreak Strain, Haiti, 2010
To increase understanding of drug-resistant Vibrio cholerae, we studied selected molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial drug resistance in the 2010 Haiti V. cholerae outbreak strain. Most resistance resulted from acquired genes located on an integrating conjugative element showing high homology to an integrating conjugative element identified in a V. cholerae isolate from India.
متن کاملChanging profile of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139 in Delhi & its periphery (2003-2005).
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Cholera caused by either Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139 is endemic in Delhi and its peripheral areas. The present study was carried out to understand the changing epidemiology of V. cholerae in terms of prevalence of serotypes, antibiogram pattern and phage types. METHODS A total of 9858 stool samples from the admitted diarrhoea patients were used for the isolation of V. ch...
متن کاملMultiple antibiotic resistance profiles of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139.
In this study, the patterns of resistance to 10 antibiotics by 730 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139 species isolated from both environmental and seafood samples were investigated. Susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents was assessed by the disc diffusion technique. The frequencies of resistance to 10 antimicrobial agents--ampicillin, chloramphenicol, bacitracin, erythromycin, gentam...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae serogroup O1 in northeast Thailand.
Strains of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 biotype El Tor that are susceptible to Mukerjee cholera bacteriophage group IV (S. Mukerjee, Bull. W.H.O. 28:333-336, 1963) were found. Cholera vibrios isolated from epidemics in northeast Thailand were characterized, and 57 of 60 strains isolated in 1986 were susceptible to cholera phage IV. However, all 113 strains isolated in 1988 were not susceptible ...
