Ampicillin resistance in Haemophilus influenzae
Fourteen out of 150 (9.3%) consecutive strains of Haemophilus influenzae isolated on culture of sputum in the Bacteriology Department, Belfast City Hospital, during 1982/83 were found to be ampicillin-resistant (beta-lactamase-producing). Susceptibility testing to other antibiotics of these ampicillin-resistant strains showed that cefuroxime, cefotaxime, gentamicin, and amoxycillin with clavula...
متن کاملDetection of ampicillin resistant Haemophilus influenzae in United Kingdom laboratories.
Susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae clinical isolates to ampicillin reported by 23 laboratories, using a variety of methods, was compared with results obtained following retesting at The London Hospital Medical College. Beta lactamase production was not detected on initial isolation in 25 of 157 isolates (16%) found to be positive on retest. One hundred beta lactamase negative isolates, wh...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance in Haemophilus influenzae.
Haemophilus influenzae is a major community-acquired pathogen causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Meningitis and bacteremia due to type b strains occur in areas where the protein-conjugated type b vaccine is not in use, whereas nontypeable strains are major causes of otitis media, sinusitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia. Antibiotic resistance in th...
متن کاملDiversity of ampicillin resistance genes and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated in Korea.
By Etest determination of the susceptibilities of 229 Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated in Korea to 10 antibiotics, the isolates were found to be antibiotic nonsusceptible in the following order: ampicillin (58.1%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (52%), cefaclor (41.1%), clarithromycin (25.8%), chloramphenicol (14.0%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (13.5%), meropenem (11.7%), cefixime (10.9%...
متن کاملCharacterization of non-beta-lactamase-mediated ampicillin resistance in Haemophilus influenzae.
Ampicillin resistance in Haemophilus influenzae is most often due to the plasmid-mediated production of TEM beta-lactamase. We studied four strains with high-level ampicillin resistance (MIC of 32 micrograms/ml with an inoculum of 10(5) CFU on solid media) which did not produce detectable beta-lactamase activity with two different detection methods. Two of the four strains contained extrachromo...
