Hyaluronidase in Clinical Isolates of Propionibacterium acnes
Objectives. We sought to describe the prevalence of a hyaluronidase gene and hyaluronidase production in 197 clinical isolates of P. acnes; we assessed kinetics of hyaluronidase production in a subset of three isolates. Methods. The hyaluronidase gene was detected using polymerase chain reaction. Hyaluronidase production was detected by growing isolates on BHI agar containing 400 μg/mL hyaluron...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Propionibacterium acnes clinical isolates to 22 antimicrobial agents.
Susceptibilities of 104 Propionibacterium acnes isolates to each of 22 antimicrobial agents was evaluated by broth microdilution. These isolates were susceptible to all of the test agents except metronidazole. N-Formimidoyl thienamycin, a penem coded Sch 29482, and penicillin ranked first, second, and third, respectively, in activity and were significantly more active than other penicillins, ce...
متن کاملPropionibacterium acnes.
Propionibacterium acnes, a common skin organism, is most notably recognized for its role in acne vulgaris. It also causes postoperative and device-related infections and has been associated with a number of other conditions such as sarcoidosis and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO), although its precise role as a causative agent remains to be determined. Propionibact...
متن کاملSusceptibilities of Propionibacterium acnes ophthalmic isolates to moxifloxacin.
Propionibacterium acnes has become an important pathogen in nosocomial infection, including endophthalmitis. The treatment of endophthalmitis presents many diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although P. acnes has demonstrated in vitro susceptibilities to many beta-lactam agents, clindamycin, and macrolides, intravitreal treatment success in patients has been inconsistent. While quinolones a...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of retapamulin (SB-275833) against 141 clinical isolates of Propionibacterium spp., including 117 P. acnes isolates.
Using the NCCLS agar dilution method, we studied the in vitro activity of retapamulin (SB-275833) against 141 clinical isolates of Propionibacterium species, including seven multiresistant strains, and found retapamulin to be the most active agent among those tested with MICs of < or = 1 microg/ml against all isolates.
