Induction of chloramphenicol and tetracycline resistance in Flexibacter sp. strain FS-1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gliding bacterium Flexibacter sp. strain FS-1 exhibits inducible resistance to chloramphenicol (Cmr) and tetracycline (Tcr). Either chloramphenicol or tetracycline alone induced a Cmr Tcr phenotype. The resistance is apparently not plasmid encoded.

Multidrug Resistance in Infants and Children
Bacterial infections may cause disease and death. Infants and children are often subject to bacterial infections. Antimicrobials kill bacteria protecting the infected patients andreducing the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by bacteria. The antibiotics may lose their antibacterial activity when they become resistant to a bacteria. The resistance to different antibiotics in a bacteria is ...
متن کاملNonheritable resistance to chloramphenicol and other antibiotics induced by salicylates and other chemotactic repellents in Escherichia coli K-12.
Phenotypic resistance to chloramphenicol and ampicillin was induced in sensitive Escherichia coli K-12 strains during incubation with the following substances: acetate, acetylsalicylate (aspirin), benzoate, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and salicylate. In addition, acetyl-salicylate and salicylate induced resistance to nalidixic acid and tetracycline. The induction of resistance...

The antimicrobial susceptibility of 25 Campylobacter sp strains isolated from calves with and without diarrhea 7 C. coli, 16 C. fetus and 2 C. jejuni – was studied by the disk diffusion method. Eleven antimicrobial agents were tested amikacin, ampicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, neomycin, nitrofurantoin, penicillin G, tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim....
متن کاملEffect of cell length on gliding motility of Flexibacter.
Short Flexibacter FS-1 cells, generated during logarithmic growth in glucose-salts medium or by filament fragmentation during the transition from log to stationary phase in rich medium, are unable to glide. Motility returns when cells elongate. This strain also dissociates stable, short, nongliding variants.
