Susceptibility of Bacterium actinomycetem comitans to 45 antibiotics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The minimal inhibitory concentrations of 45 antimicrobial agents were determined for 14 strains of Bacterium actinomycetem comitans (Actinobacillus actinomycetem-comitans). All the strains showed good susceptibility to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol, but not to lincomycins. Some strains were clearly resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins, and nitroimidazoles. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations were observed with tetracycline, rolitetracycline, methacycline, minocycline, chloramphenicol, and cotrimoxazole.

By using well-defined techniques under optimum conditions it is possible adequately to define the biochemical characteristics of typical A. seminis strains. A. seminis can be distinguished from Histophilus ovis on the latter's distinctive colony morphology, but it cannot be distinguished from Actinobacillus actinomycetem-comitans. These organisms, however, can be differentiated from Pasteurella...

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, produces Apx toxins that are recognized as major virulence factors. Recently, we showed that ApxIIIA-cytotoxic activity specifically targets Sus scrofa leukocytes. Since both LtxA from Aggregatibacter actinomycetem comitans (aggressive periodontitis in humans) and LktA from Mannheimia haemolytica (pneumonia in rumi...

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and has an extraordinary ability to obtain antimicrobial resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. Multidrug-resistant strains and producers of AmpC beta-lactamases of this bacterium cause serious infectious diseases in different parts of the hospital and in hospitalized people, and the treatment o...

Background: Foodborne diseases and resistance to antimicrobial agents are two of the world's most widespread global issues. Also, the excessive use of antibiotics has led to the resistance of bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family to antibiotics, especially in carbapenems. Citrobacter is an opportunistic bacterium that is resistant to antibiotics in the emerging bacteria and has ...
