Killing of Chlorine-resistant Bacteria by Chlorine-bromine Solutions.
The disinfective power of chlorine, bromine, and mixtures of chlorine and bromine at different ratios was compared. The influence of pH was also studied. The experiments were carried out in "purified" water and in natural waters of swimming pools, river, and sea. In the presence of high amounts of nitrogenous growth-promoting material (at neutral pH), bromine was more effective than chlorine; i...
متن کاملWhy sensitive bacteria are resistant to hospital infection control
BACKGROUND Large reductions in the incidence of antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile have been observed in response to multifaceted hospital-based interventions. Reductions in antibiotic-sensitive strains have been smaller or non-existent. It has been argued that since infection control measures, such as hand hygiene, should affect resistant and sensit...
متن کاملWound infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria.
INTRODUCTION Wound infections remain a public health problem, despite the progress made on improving surgical techniques and antibiotic prophylaxis application. Misuse of antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections leads to increased bacterial resistance and their dissemination. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study refers to 470 samples taken from wound infections of which only multi-drug resistant...
متن کاملBedbugs as Vectors for Drug-Resistant Bacteria
To the Editor: Over the past 10 years in North America and western Europe, a resurgence of bedbugs (Cimex lectularius) has occurred (1). Although the basis for this resurgence is unclear, large bedbug infestations have been attributed to increased worldwide travel, altered insecticide management, and increased resistance to pesticides (2). Marginalized populations in large urban centers appear ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Drug Use and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
To the Editor: The article by Harris et al., published in the August 2007 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, examined the risk factors for selecting extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Enterobacteriaceae in intensive-care patients and found that exposure to piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin were independent risk factors (1). Although antimicrobial drug use has been historically lin...
