Bacteroides fragilis resistance to clindamycin in vitro.
Clindamycin resistance in Bacteroides fragilis was examined in 507 strains isolated from 1973 to 1981. Three groups were recognized: highly susceptible (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] less than or equal to 0.125 microgram/ml), intermediately susceptible (MIC = 0.25 to 4 micrograms/ml), and highly resistant to (MIC greater than or equal to 8 microgram/ml). The incidence of high-level res...
متن کاملClindamycin resistance in the Bacteroides fragilis group: association with hospital-acquired infections.
A retrospective study was conducted to assess the relationships between clindamycin resistance in members of the Bacteroides fragilis group, previous antimicrobial therapy, and the context for the development of infection, whether in the community or during hospitalization. Eighty-five clindamycin-resistant clinical strains (one isolate per patient) isolated from January 1988 to October 1994 we...
متن کاملTetracycline and erythromycin resistance among clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis.
We reviewed tetracycline and erythromycin disk diffusion susceptibility of 457 isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis. Four isolates were resistant to tetracycline, with MICs for two available isolates of 16 micrograms/ml. Sixteen isolates were in the moderately susceptible range for erythromycin, with an MIC for one available isolate being greater than 8 micrograms/ml. These are the first tetracy...
متن کاملHoneybees and Tetracycline Resistance
Like animals and people, insects can serve as both collectors and disseminators of antibiotic resistance genes, as exquisitely demonstrated by a recent study (B. Tian, N. H. Fadhil, J. E. Powell, W. K. Kwong, and N. A. Moran, mBio 3[6]:e00377-12, doi:10.1128/mBio.00377-12, 2012). Notably, the relatively confined ecosystem of the honeybee gut demonstrates a large propensity for harboring a diver...

background: streptococcus group b (gbs) or streptococcus agalactiae is typically associated with neonatal disease and infection in pregnant women. mortality of gbs sepsis in neonates is over 50% and is particularly high in preterm infants. gbs also causes invasive infection in pregnant and non-pregnant women including urinary tract infection (uti). penicillin-derived antibiotics remained as cho...
