Antibiotic resistance patterns of Vibrio mimicus isolated from human and environmental sources in Bangladesh.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty-five environmental and 19 clinical strains of Vibrio mimicus were tested for antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Environmental strains were resistant to streptomycin, kanamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; clinical strains were susceptible. Environmental strains showed variable resistance to ampicillin (44%), but clinical strains were susceptible. All strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol and gentamicin.

Vibrio mimicus has recently been isolated from aquatic environments of Bangladesh. A total of 125 of 300 environmental isolates, representing various biotypes, and 19 human isolates were tested for enteropathogenicity by using several models. Less than 1% of the environmental isolates and slightly more than 10% of the clinical isolates produced cholera toxin-like toxin. A significant percentage...
