Polycations sensitize enteric bacteria to antibiotics.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, a polymyxin B derivative which lacks the fatty acyl part and the bactericidal activity of polymyxin, was shown to sensitize smooth encapsulated Escherichia coli (O18:K1) and smooth Salmonella typhimurium to hydrophobic antibiotics (novobiocin, fusidic acid, erythromycin, clindamycin, nafcillin, and cloxacillin). The polymyxin B nonapeptide-treated bacteria were as sensi...
متن کاملHigh rate of resistance to locally used antibiotics among enteric bacteria from children in Northern Ghana.
OBJECTIVES Information on antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens is scarce in resource-poor settings. We determined the susceptibility of bacterial enteric pathogens and faecal Escherichia coli isolates obtained from children in urban Tamale, Northern Ghana, to antibiotics widely used in the that area [ampicillin or amoxicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) and chloramphenic...
متن کاملThe sensitivity in vitro of the Providence group of enteric bacteria to 14 antibiotics and nitrofurantoin.
During the course of an investigation into the antibiotic sensitivity of strains of the Proteus group of bacteria isolated from infections of the urinary tract (Middleton, 1957) a few strains of the Providence group were also examined. This group of the Enterobacteriaceae called type 29911 by Stuart, Wheeler, Rustigian, and Zimmerman (1943), and named Providence by Kauffmann (1951), has close a...
متن کاملEnteric Bacteria
Biochemical confirmation of salmonellae by conventional tube methods usually requires 2 to 3 days of incubation time preceded by preparation of tubed media and transfer of cultures. The principles of heavy inocula and increased substrate concentrations have been used by Sanders et al. (1) to speed up reaction times and thus reduce the time necessary in the laboratory for analysis. To characteri...
