Neisseria gonorrhoeae non-susceptible to cephalosporins and quinolones in Northwest Ethiopia
BACKGROUND The occurrence of antibiotic resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates is a serious public health problem in different corners of the globe. The objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of N. gonorrhoeae in Northwest Ethiopia. METHODS This was a retrospective study of N. gonorrhoeae isolated from genital swabs of patients referred to the Amhara...
متن کاملSusceptibility to cephalosporins of penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from Philadelphia.
Using agar dilution, we determined MICs of penicillin, cefoxitin, ceftriaxone, cefmetazole, tetracycline, and spectinomycin for 129 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. All strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone (MIC range, less than or equal to 0.008 to 0.06 micrograms/ml) and spectinomycin (16 to 32 micrograms/ml). The MICs for 50, 90, and 100% of strains tested were 1.0, 2.0, and greater than ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli resistant to cephalosporins and quinolones is still susceptible to the cephalosporin-quinolone ester Ro 23-9424.
Ro 23-9424 is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent consisting of a cephalosporin (desacetylcefotaxime) linked through an ester bond to a fluoroquinolone (fleroxacin). Its activity against mutants of Escherichia coli TE18 resistant to both antibacterial components was examined. E. coli TE18 overproduces the AmpC beta-lactamase and is resistant to several cephalosporins, including desacetylcefota...
متن کاملTherapeutic Management of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bloodstream Infection Non-Susceptible to Carbapenems but Susceptible to “Old” Cephalosporins and/or to Penicillins
It is unknown as to whether other beta-lactams can be used for bloodstream infections (BSI) resulting from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) which are non-susceptible to one or more carbapenem. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center (AHMC) from January 2010 to August 2014. Adult patients with PA-BSI non-susceptible to a group 2 carbapenem but susceptible to ceft...
متن کاملCharacterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates detected in Switzerland (1998–2012): emergence of multidrug-resistant clones less susceptible to cephalosporins
BACKGROUND The spread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) isolates resistant to the clinically implemented antibiotics is challenging the efficacy of treatments. Unfortunately, phenotypic and molecular data regarding Ng detected in Switzerland are scarce. METHODS We compared the characteristics of Ng detected during 1998-2001 (n = 26) to those detected during 2009-2012 (n = 34). MICs were obtained ...
