Tetracycline Resistance in Escherichia coli Bearing
1. E8cherichia coli with an R-factor conferring resistance to tetracycline was induced to high-degree resistance by pre-exposure to the antibiotic. The degree of resistance was drastically lowered by subjecting the cells to osmotic shock. 2. Resistance to tetracycline was rapidly restored by incubating the shocked cells in a glucose-salts medium containing shock proteins prepared from tetracycl...
متن کاملTetracycline resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from hospital patients.
Hospital isolates of Escherichia coli resistant to tetracycline (TC) were studied to identify mechanisms which regulate TC resistance levels and ability to transfer TC resistance. Antibiotic resistance patterns, resistance levels to TC, and ability to transfer TC resistance were determined for the isolates. Similar data were obtained for the transferable plasmids after transfer to several new h...
متن کاملActive efflux of tetracycline encoded by four genetically different tetracycline resistance determinants in Escherichia coli.
Tetracycline resistance encoded by four genetically different determinants residing on plasmids in Escherichia coli was shown to be associated in each case with an energy-dependent decrease in accumulation of the antibiotic in whole cells in which resistance had been induced. The different class determinants examined were those on plasmids RP1 (class A), R222 (class B), R144 (class C), and RA1 ...
متن کاملMechanism of Escherichia coli resistance to Pyrrhocoricin.
Due to their lack of toxicity to mammalian cells and good serum stability, proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PR-AMPs) have been proposed as promising candidates for the treatment of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacterial pathogens. It has been hypothesized that these peptides act on multiple targets within bacterial cells, and therefore the likelihood of the emergence of resi...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
