Hand carriage of gram-negative bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus.
The influence of hexachlorophane disinfection on the bacterial hand flora of hospital personnel has been examined. Hexachlorophane effectively reduced the total number of bacteria and the staphylococcal carriage. Gram-negative bacilli were isolated from 18.8% of the personnel, and 13% of the carriers continued to carry Gram-negative bacilli for more than six months. The carrier rate was signifi...
متن کاملAerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli
A total of 434 clinical aerobic gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested against LY127935, a new 1-oxa cephalosporin, and compared with other cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides by a broth microdilution technique. Cefotaxime (HR756), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, and LY127935 were more active, and showed lower minimun inhibitory concentrations (rantes, -O.12 to 2.0 ,ug/ml)...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of N-formimidoyl thienamycin and moxalactam against nonfermentative aerobic gram-negative rods.
N-Formimidoyl thienamycin was the most active drug against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a 90% minimum inhibitory concentration of 1.25 mug/ml. With the exception of P. maltophilia, thienamycin was as active or more active than moxalactam against other species of pseudomonads and against other genera of nonfermenters.
متن کاملPolyclonal bacteremia due to gram-negative rods.
The frequency of, risk factors for, and outcome of polyclonal gram-negative bacteremia are still unknown. We investigated them in a prospective cohort study of patients for whom a blood culture yielded >/=1 species of gram-negative aerobic rod. For each patient, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed on 4 colonies of each morphologic type. Episodes of bacteremia were considered p...
متن کاملBeta-lactamase in gram-negative rods: the relationship between penicillinase and R plasmids in gram-negative rods.
Concomitant with the extensive use of antibiotics, the number of multiple antibiotic-resistant strains has been increasing. Since resistance is mainly mediated by R plasmids, we undertook to investigate the characteristics of R plasmid-determined beta-lactamase in 6 Gram-negative rods. The beta-lactamase produced by each organism was classified by its substrate: type P which attacks penicillins...
