Phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity of glycopeptide resistance determinants in gram-positive bacteria.
Gram-positive glycopeptide-resistant bacteria isolated in various hospitals in Europe and in the United States between 1986 and 1988 were collected. Three resistance phenotypes could be distinguished. Thirty-one enterococci were highly resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Resistance was transferable to other enterococci by conjugation for 16 of the 22 isolates that were tested. Homology was...
متن کاملGlycopeptide Resistance in Gram-Positive Cocci: A Review
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens in the past two decades all over the world and have seriously limited the choices available to clinicians for treating infections caused by these agents. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, perhaps the most notorious among the nosocomial pathogens, was till recently susceptible to vancomycin and the o...
متن کاملQuinupristin-dalfopristin resistance among gram-positive bacteria in Taiwan.
To understand quinupristin-dalfopristin resistance among clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria in Taiwan, where this agent is not yet available for clinical use, we evaluated 1,287 nonduplicate isolates recovered from January 1996 to December 1999 for in vitro susceptibility to quinupristin-dalfopristin and other newer antimicrobial agents. All methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureu...
متن کاملimipenem resistance among gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria in hospitalized patients
background: recent analyses of hospital outbreaks have documented the spread of resistance to imipenem, which is currently a major problem among gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. the aim of this study was to describe the rate of gram- positive and gram-negative isolates resistance to imipenem as an antibiotic. methods: recorded files of 242 hospitalized patients with at least one sampl...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Pattern of Gram-Negative Bacteria in Gorgan
Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...
