Sensitivity of environmental microorganisms to antimicrobial agents.
The sensitivity of different microorganisms, considered as typical representatives of the microflora of soil and water, was established to evaluate the influence of the nonmedical use of antimicrobial agents on bacterial ecology. Only seven strains, six chemoorganotrophs and one chemolithotroph, could be considered as relatively sensitive to the 21 antimicrobial compounds tested. The other 29 m...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of Aeromonas strains isolated from clinical and environmental sources to 26 antimicrobial agents.
We determined the susceptibilities of 144 clinical and 49 environmental Aeromonas strains representing 10 different species to 26 antimicrobial agents by the agar dilution method. No single species had a predominantly nonsusceptible phenotype. A multidrug nonsusceptible pattern was observed in three (2.1%) clinical strains and two (4.0%) strains recovered from diseased fish. Common clinical str...
متن کاملSensitivity of Ruminal Microorganisms to Pentachlorophenolt
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is used extensively as a biocidal agent, and there is considerable concern about the adverse effects of this compound in biological ecosystems. The effects of PCP on the growth and fermentative activity of cultures of mixed ruminal microorganisms and the sensitivity of 14 ruminal bacterial species to PCP in pure culture were examined in this study. Increasing concentrati...
متن کاملResistance to Antimicrobial Agents
The main reason for the current unsatisfactory situation is that, worldwide, there is no effective regulation of the use of antibiotics. In many nations drugs are freely available "over the counterî and even in countries where most drugs are only available on prescription there may be little control. The practice in some societies of doctors prescribing the most potent drug available just in ca...
متن کاملExposure to environmental microorganisms and childhood asthma.
BACKGROUND Children who grow up in environments that afford them a wide range of microbial exposures, such as traditional farms, are protected from childhood asthma and atopy. In previous studies, markers of microbial exposure have been inversely related to these conditions. METHODS In two cross-sectional studies, we compared children living on farms with those in a reference group with respe...
