Survey of in vitro susceptibilities of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 to antimicrobial agents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vibrio cholerae O139 (173 strains) and O1 (221 strains) were tested for their in vitro susceptibilities to 39 antimicrobial agents. Both O139 and O1 strains were highly susceptible to azithromycin, cephems, minocycline, penems, and newer fluoroquinolones. O139 strains (94.8%), O1 Indian El Tor strains (97%), and Bangladeshi El Tor strains (50%) were highly resistant to streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim and moderately resistant to chloramphenicol and furazolidone, in sharp contrast to O1 Peruvian El Tor and O1 classical strains. Some Bangladeshi El Tor strains (43.3%) showed tetracycline resistance as well.

An increase in the occurrence of potentially pathogenic Vibrio species is expected for waters in Northern Europe as a consequence of global warming. In this context, a higher incidence of Vibrio infections is predicted for the future and forecasts suggest that people visiting and living at the Baltic Sea are at particular risk. This study aimed to investigate antimicrobial resistance patterns a...

The National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD), Delhi, India, conducts a laboratory-based surveillance of cholera cases referred from the Infectious Disease Hospital, Delhi. The prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139, and others, isolated from cholera patients for nine years, were analyzed to determine the changing trends in their isolation and drug-re...

The most common clinical manifestation of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 non-O139 is gastroenteritis. This vibrion may also cause bacteremia, soft tissue infection, and other extraintestinal invasive disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. This study evaluated the current status of antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of V. cholerae non-O1 non-O139 in Taiwan as part of the SMART (Su...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of ISCR1-mediated blaPER-1 in a non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strain from China.
We report the detection of PER-1 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in a clinical non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strain from China. ISCR1-mediated bla(PER-1) was embedded in a complex In4 family class 1 integron belonging to the lineage of Tn1696 on a conjugative IncA/C plasmid. A free 8.98-kb circular molecule present with the ISCR1-bla(PER-1)-truncated 3'-conserved sequence (CS) structure...
متن کاملMultiple antibiotic resistance profiles of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139.
In this study, the patterns of resistance to 10 antibiotics by 730 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139 species isolated from both environmental and seafood samples were investigated. Susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents was assessed by the disc diffusion technique. The frequencies of resistance to 10 antimicrobial agents--ampicillin, chloramphenicol, bacitracin, erythromycin, gentam...
