In the last decades, Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamases (ESBLs) in gram negative bacilli have appeared as a significant mechanism of resistance to antibiotics. Although resistance to carbapenems is increasing among bacteria, they are still the treatment of choice for serious infections caused by ESBL producers. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ß-lacta...
متن کاملBeta-lactamase-mediated imipenem resistance in Bacteroides fragilis.
Imipenem has excellent antimicrobial activity owing in part to beta-lactamase stability. We found that only 2 of over 350 Bacteroides fragilis group clinical isolates were resistant to imipenem, with an MIC of more than 16 micrograms/ml. These two isolates from the Tufts Anaerobe Laboratory (TAL) were resistant to all other beta-lactam agents tested. The organisms were able to inactivate imipen...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Bacteremia in a US Resident: An Emerging Challenge
We describe a case of Bacteroides fragilis bacteremia associated with paraspinal and psoas abscesses in the United States. Resistance to b-lactam/b-lactamase inhibitors, carbapenems, and metronidazole was encountered despite having a recent travel history to India as the only possible risk factor for multidrug resistance. Microbiological cure was achieved with linezolid, moxifloxacin, and cefox...
متن کاملBacteroides, Prevotella, and Porphyromonas species: a review of antibiotic resistance and therapeutic options.
Recent basic and clinical research efforts have shed more light on the taxonomy, microbiology, epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility and treatment of Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Porphyromonas species. Of all anaerobic bacteria, Bacteroides is the most frequently isolated pathogen from clinical specimens, including blood. Bacteroides, Prevotella and/or Porphyromonas species have been isola...
متن کاملBacteremia due to Bacteroides fragilis group: distribution of species, beta-lactamase production, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
A retrospective analysis of susceptibility data on 542 blood isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group tested from 1987 to 1999 by the same NCCLS-recommended broth microdilution method throughout is presented. Metronidazole, beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, carbapenems, and trovafloxacin were the most active agents (susceptibility of >or=93%). Among the cephalosporin-cephamyc...
