Antimicrobial activity of linezolid against Gram-positive cocci isolated in Brazil.
The new oxazolidinone linezolid and other antimicrobial agents used to treat Gram-positive infections were tested against 1,585 Gram-positive cocci; 1,260 staphylococci and enterococci isolates from patients hospitalized in Brazilian hospitals, and 325 S. pneumoniae isolates for patients with community acquired infections. Susceptibility testing was performed using broth microdilution according...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of linezolid & quinupristin/dalfopristin against Gram-positive cocci.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Since the incidence of vancomycin- and methicillin-resistant Gram-positive infections continue to increase, novel antimicrobials such as linezolid and streptogramin may provide new options to treat patients. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro susceptibility of Enterococcus faecium resistant to glycopeptides, coagulase negative staphylococci and S. aureus r...
متن کاملActivity of linezolid against Gram-positive cocci possessing genes conferring resistance to protein synthesis inhibitors.
Linezolid belongs to a new class of antimicrobials, the oxazolidinones, that act by inhibiting protein synthesis. To detect cross-resistance with other inhibitors of protein synthesis (chloramphenicol, macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramins, aminoglycosides and tetracyclines), the in vitro activity of linezolid was determined against isolates harbouring known genes conferring resistance to th...

than imipenem, meropenem and ceftriaxone. Our findings suggest that against these multidrug-resistant pneumococcal isolates, the ranking of in vitro activity based on MIC90 for the b-lactams would be ME1036 (0.12 mg/L) (most active).imipenem (0.5 mg/L). meropenem (1 mg/L).ceftriaxone (1 mg/L).cefotaxime (2 mg/L).penicillin1⁄4cefepime (4 mg/L).amoxicillin (8–16 mg/L).cefuroxime (16 mg/L).ampicil...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Production in Catalase-Positive Gram-Positive Cocci Isolated from Brazilian Pasteurized Milk
Background: Milk is a reservoir for several groups of microorganisms, which may pose health risks. The aim of this work was to assess the antibiotic resistance and biofilm production in catalase-positive Gram-positive cocci isolated from Brazilian pasteurized milk. Methods: The bacteria were isolated using Baird-Parker agar and identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-Of-...
