clostridium difficile
seventy-five meconium samples were examined for the presence of ci. difficile: 3 strains were isola ted. additionally 45 labora tory animal faeces specimens were tested for the same purpose, a further 2 cases were isolated. these five suspicious strains were identified as ci. difficile acco rding to the tests mentioned in the previous paragraphs. the organisms . isolated here showed the same ch...
متن کاملAnalysis of Clostridium difficile
HindIII restriction enzyme digests of genomic DNA from nine distinct strains of Clostridium difficile were undertaken, and the results were related to those of a previously established typing method based on [35S]methionine-labeled protein profiles. Each of the typed strains identified by its protein profile could also be distinguished by its unique DNA digestion pattern. Analysis of strains is...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of linezolid against Clostridium difficile.
We examined the in vitro activity of linezolid against Clostridium difficile, including isolates with reduced susceptibility to metronidazole or vancomycin. The MIC at which 50% of the isolates were inhibited (MIC50) and MIC90 were 0.5 and 2 microg/ml, respectively (range, 0.03 to 4 microg/ml). MICs were always <or= 4 microg/ml, and thus, all isolates were considered susceptible.
متن کاملIn vitro activity of OPT-80 against Clostridium difficile.
Clostridium difficile remains the major cause of nosocomial diarrhea. Reports on impaired susceptibility of C. difficile to metronidazole and vancomycin and frequent relapses of patients after therapy necessitate the search for new substances. With this study, the activity of OPT-80, a new macrocycle, against 207 C. difficile strains and against other obligately anaerobic bacteria was tested. O...
متن کاملStructural determinants of Clostridium difficile toxin A glucosyltransferase activity.
The principle virulence factors in Clostridium difficile pathogenesis are TcdA and TcdB, homologous glucosyltransferases capable of inactivating small GTPases within the host cell. We present crystal structures of the TcdA glucosyltransferase domain in the presence and absence of the co-substrate UDP-glucose. Although the enzymatic core is similar to that of TcdB, the proposed GTPase-binding su...
