Quinupristin-dalfopristin resistance in gram-positive bacteria: mechanism of resistance and epidemiology.
Antimicrobial resistance in gram-positive bacteria is a continuing problem resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Because of this resistance, new antimicrobial agents have been needed. Quinupristin-dalfopristin is a recently approved agent for treatment of these infections. Shortly after its introduction into clinical medicine, resistance was reported. Resistance can occur by ...
متن کامل810 Mechanism of Serum Resistance in Bacteria
Opt imum killing of gram-negative bacteria in serum requires the participation of terminal components of the complement system, presumably through formation of a membrane attack complex (MAC) 1 containing complement components C5b6789 (13). Although it is clear that some gram-negative bacteria are highly resistant to serum killing in the presence of adequate antibody, the mechanism of this resi...
متن کاملNew update on molecular determinants of colistin resistance in bacteria
Colistin relates to the polymyxin group of antibiotics. This antibiotic is still used to destroy gram-negative bacteria as a last resort. However, resistance to this antibiotic has been reported and is appearing day by day. Not much information is available on the exact mechanisms of resistance to this antibiotic. Also, not enough information about pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is avail...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Pattern of Gram-Negative Bacteria in Gorgan
Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...
متن کاملFluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae: epidemiology and mechanism of resistance.
Quinolone-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae bacteria were recovered from single-patient isolates and found to contain mutations in the gyrase and topoisomerase IV genes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated that four isolates from the same long-term care facility were closely related; in seven cases, quinolone-resistant Haemophilus influenzae and S. agalactiae bacteria were isolated f...
