Mechanisms accounting for fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli clinical isolates.
Fluoroquinolone MICs are increased through the acquisition of chromosomal mutations in the genes encoding gyrase (gyrA and gyrB) and topoisomerase IV (parC and parE), increased levels of the multidrug efflux pump AcrAB, and the plasmid-borne genes aac(6')-Ib-cr and the qnr variants in Escherichia coli. In the accompanying report, we found that ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, and norf...
متن کاملMechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from food-producing animals.
Eleven multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates (comprising 6 porcine and 5 bovine field isolates) displaying fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance were selected from a collection obtained from the University Veterinary Hospital (Dublin, Ireland). MICs of nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin were determined by Etest. All showed MICs of nalidixic acid of >256 μg/ml and MICs of ciprofloxacin ranging f...
متن کاملCharacterization of Multidrug Resistant ESBL-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates from Hospitals in Malaysia
The emergence of Escherichia coli that produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and are multidrug resistant (MDR) poses antibiotic management problems. Forty-seven E. coli isolates from various public hospitals in Malaysia were studied. All isolates were sensitive to imipenem whereas 36 were MDR (resistant to 2 or more classes of antibiotics). PCR detection using gene-specific primers ...
متن کاملThe Molecular Epidemiology of Resistance in Cefotaximase-Producing Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates from Dublin, Ireland.
In view of continued high clinical prevalence of infections involving extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, this study sought to characterise the blaCTX-M genes, their associated mobile genetic elements and the integrons present in 100 ESBL-producing E. coli isolates collected in a Dublin hospital and associated community healthcare facilities. Polymerase chain reacti...
متن کاملEmergence of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates at the department of clinical hematology.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the dependence of Escherichia coli resistance to fluoroquinolones on their use in the outpatients and inpatients in the Hradec Kralove region of the Czech Republic. Data on inpatient fluoroquinolones use were obtained from the database of the Charles University Teaching Hospital Pharmacy and expressed as defined daily dose per 100 beds - days (DBD). Data on...
