Multidrug resistance in Vibrio cholerae.
Cholera continues to be endemic in a large geographical tract covering a number of states in the eastern, western and southern parts of India. Even though V. cholerae non-01 has been reported from some parts of Delhi(l), V. cholerae-01 biotype Eltor continues to be the main etiological agent identified from Delhi(2). Rapid replacement of fluid and electrolyte using oral rehydration therapy or i...

Between January and June 2005, 5 distinct cholera outbreaks occurred in Kenya. Overall, 990 cases and 25 deaths (2.5%) were reported. Four outbreaks occurred in towns along major highways, and 1 occurred in a refugee camp near the Sudanese border, accessible to Nairobi by daily flights.

متن کاملAntibiotic resistance mechanisms of Vibrio cholerae.
As the causative agent of cholera, the bacterium Vibrio cholerae represents an enormous public health burden, especially in developing countries around the world. Cholera is a self-limiting illness; however, antibiotics are commonly administered as part of the treatment regimen. Here we review the initial identification and subsequent evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains of V. cholerae. An...
متن کاملTransferable quinolone resistance in Vibrio cholerae.
Ciprofloxacin was introduced for treatment of patients with cholera in Bangladesh because of resistance to other agents, but its utility has been compromised by the decreasing ciprofloxacin susceptibility of Vibrio cholerae over time. We correlated levels of susceptibility and temporal patterns with the occurrence of mutation in gyrA, which encodes a subunit of DNA gyrase, followed by mutation ...
متن کاملDrug resistance of staphylococci. VI. Genetic determinant for chloramphenicol resistance.
Naturally occurring strains of staphylococci which are resistant to chloramphenicol (CM) inactivate this antibiotic. One of the inactivation products of CM showed the chromatographic behavior of 3-acetoxychloramphenicol. Induction of resistance occurred after prior exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of the antibiotic. The resistance of induced populations, as well as CM-inactivation abili...
