Is multi-drugs resistant Acinetobacter baumannii epidemic spread related to reduced susceptibility to biocides?
Methods 67 clinical and 24 environmental strains isolated from 2007 to 2010 were genotyped by PFGE, MLST and REP-PCR. Multiplex PCRs were performed for identification of the ompA, csuE and blaOXA-51like sequence type groups. The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined and the presence of carbapenemase-encoding genes was analysed by characterization of the blaOXA genes. Chlorine susceptibili...
متن کاملAssessment of the susceptibility of lactic acid bacteria to biocides.
Biocides are antimicrobial compounds that are widely used in the food industry and medical environments. In this study, we determined the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) by the microdilution method of four different biocides for a large collection of LAB of different origins. The tested isolates belong to 11 species of the Lactobacillus genus and to Streptococcus thermophilus, Streptoc...
متن کاملNon-antibiotic biocides: An updated review
Non-antibiotic biocides are composed of heterogeneous groups of natural and synthetic substances which can deter, render harmless, or exert a controlling effect on microorganisms by biological or chemical means. Examples include disinfectants, preservatives, antiseptics, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Use of biocides has wide applications in medicine, agriculture, forestry...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of gram-positive cocci to paldimycin.
Paldimycin (U-70138F) is a new antimicrobial agent with activity against gram-positive cocci. Clinical isolates of staphylococci and streptococci were tested. MICs were higher in Mueller-Hinton broth than in nutrient broth. Change in pH had minimal effect on the MICs in either broth. When inoculum size was varied, an inoculum effect was observed. The gram-positive cocci tested were generally mo...
متن کاملAntibiotic therapeutic options for infections caused by drug-resistant Gram-positive cocci.
Serious infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria are currently difficult to treat because many of these pathogens are now resistant to standard antimicrobial agents. As a result of the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, new antimicrobial agents are urgently needed for clinical use. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of drugs that have ...
