Optimizing Polymyxin Combinations Against Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria
Polymyxin combination therapy is increasingly used clinically. However, systematic investigations of such combinations are a relatively recent phenomenon. The emerging pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) data on CMS/colistin and polymyxin B suggest that caution is required with monotherapy. Given this situation, polymyxin combination therapy has been suggested as a possible way to inc...
متن کاملEvaluation of brilliance CRE agar for the detection of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of the new chromogenic medium BrillianceTM CREAgar (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for determining the limit of detection of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria (CRE). A total of 70 clinical isolates were studied. Of these, 30 were well-characterized CRE, including Klebsiella pneumoniae strains producing KPC-, VIM-, and OXA-type enzymes, VIM-posit...
متن کاملInteraction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria.
The interaction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria has been investigated by using three strains of Salmonella typhimurium in an attempt to determine the loci of complement action. It has been shown that the bactericidal activities of complement and polymyxin towards a smooth gram-negative organism are similarly affected by various components of the bactericidal test system....
متن کاملEvaluation of a Commercial Multiplex PCR for Rapid Detection of Multi Drug Resistant Gram Negative Infections
INTRODUCTION Community and healthcare associated infections caused by multi-drug resistant gram negative organisms (MDR GN) represent a worldwide threat. Nucleic Acid Detection tests are becoming more common for their detection; however they can be expensive requiring specialised equipment and local expertise. This study was done to evaluate the utility of a commercial multiplex tandem (MT) PCR...
متن کاملResazurin-based assay for screening bacteria for radiation sensitivity
We report a simple and efficient colorimetric method to screen large numbers of bacterial strains for UV- and X-radiation sensitivity. We used reference radiation-sensitive and control strains of Escherichia coli K-12 to compare our colorimetric method to a standard clonogenic plating method. Our colorimetric method was as accurate as the standard method and was superior in terms of savings in ...
