Antimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
Fifty random clinical isolates of Haemophilus parainfluenzae were tested for their susceptibility to 10 antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution method. Three of the strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, whereas eight were resistant to tetracycline. All strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, gentamicin, cephalothin, and colistin. The ranges of minimal inhibitory...
متن کاملA case of Haemophilus parainfluenzae pneumonia.
A 41 year old woman presented with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) which failed to resolve following treatment with amoxycillin and cefaclor prior to referral. Quantitative culture of sputum revealed a pure growth of Haemophilus parainfluenzae and, following antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolate, ciprofloxacin was prescribed resulting in resolution of the infection. Immunological ...
متن کاملCharacterization of ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
Carriage of ampicillin-resistant (Ampr) Haemophilus parainfluenzae has become frequent among children in our community, although carriage of Ampr Haemophilus influenzae remains uncommon. In this study we characterized the mechanism of ampicillin resistance in 27 representative isolates of H. parainfluenzae. As determined by isoelectric focusing, each isolate had a TEM-1 beta-lactamase; substrat...
متن کاملEffect of salmeterol on Haemophilus influenzae infection of respiratory mucosa in vitro.
Haemophilus influenzae is a common bacterial pathogen causing human respiratory tract infections. We have previously shown that the beta2-agonist salmeterol reduces damage to the respiratory mucosa caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. We have now investigated the effect of salmeterol on H. influenzae infection of adenoid tissue in an organ culture by scanning electron microscopy. Tissue w...
متن کاملHaemophilus parainfluenzae urethritis among homosexual men.
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a common inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract of the normal oral microflora. We report three men who had been having unprotected sex with men (MSM) and subsequently acquired H. parainfluenzae urethritis, which was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Two men were treated with ceftriaxone and doxycycline, and the third man was treated with clar...
