Five-year study of antimicrobial susceptibility and beta-lactamase production in Haemophilus influenzae.

چکیده
We evaluated 582 Haemophilus influenzae isolates from patients between January 2000 and December 2004. Overall, 433 isolates were obtained from sputum and bronchial washings, 124 isolates were from pus, 19 isolates were from blood and 6 isolates form cerebrospinal fluid. H. influenzae was sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanate, ampicillin/sulbactam, gentamicin, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, imipenem, meropenem (range 97-100%), chloramphenicol (75%), ampicillin/amoxicillin (52%), but resistant to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole. As for beta-lactamase production, 48.4% of the isolates tested were positive.

Antibiotic susceptibility of invasive Haemophilus influenzae strains in Canada.
Canadian invasive Haemophilus influenzae isolates from 1990 to 2006 were examined for antibiotic susceptibility: 42 strains (17.8%) were resistant to ampicillin by beta-lactamase production, 5.5% were beta-lactamase negative ampicillin intermediate, and 2.5% were intermediate to only the 2-microg ampicillin disk. An increase in beta-lactamase-negative ampicillin-intermediate strains has been fo...
متن کاملEffect of inoculum size and beta-lactamase production on in vitro activity of new cephalosporins against Haemophilus species.
Sixty-three strains of Haemophilus species, 38 of which were beta-lactamase producers (37 H. influenzae type b, 1 H. parainfluenzae) and 25 of which were beta-lactamase negative (20 H. influenzae, 5 H. parainfluenzae), were tested for susceptibility to cefoxitin, moxalactam (LY127935) (Lilly), cefsulodin (CGP 7174 E, Ciba), and cefoperazone (T 1551, Pfizer). Cefsulodin was relatively inactive a...

متن کاملComparative acitivity of ampicillin and cefuroxime against three types of Haemophilus influenzae.
On the basis of their susceptibility to ampicillin, strains of Haemophilus influenzae can be divided into three types: type 1 are normally susceptible strains, type 2 produce stable spheroplasts from low inocula, and type 3 are beta-lactamase producers. Because of the production of spheroplasts, standard broth and agar dilution techniques have failed to differentiate between the responses of ty...

Between February and June of 1997, a large number of community-acquired respiratory tract isolates of Haemophilus influenzae (n = 1,077) and Moraxella catarrhalis (n = 503) from 27 U.S. and 7 Canadian medical centers were characterized as part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program. Overall prevalences of beta-lactamase production were 33.5% in H. influenzae and 92.2% in M. catarrhali...
