Isolation and molecular characterization of beta-lactamase-producing Haemophilus parainfluenzae from the genital tract.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains isolated from the urogenital tract harbored a beta-lactamase-coding 3.2-megadalton plasmid identical, by restriction endonuclease digestion and hybridization with radioactive and biotin-labeled probes specific for the TEM-1 beta-lactamase and TnA sequences, to the 3.2-megadalton "African-type" plasmid found in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Haemophilus parainfluenzae endocarditis in a patient with mitral valve prolapse.
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a frequent cause of "culture-negative" endocarditis (i.e., endocarditis owing to a fastidious organism which may require longer incubation periods and/or enrichment media for detection compared to traditional pathogens). More cases will probably be identified with improvements in growth and isolation techniques. A case of H. parainfluenzae endocarditis is presented...
متن کاملDistribution of biotypes of Haemophilus influenzae and H parainfluenzae in patients with cystic fibrosis.
One hundred and eighty eight isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and 187 isolates of H parainfluenzae from patients with cystic fibrosis, patients with respiratory infections but without cystic fibrosis, and patients with neither cystic fibrosis nor respiratory infections were biotyped. Biotype I of H influenzae were found significantly more often in patients with cystic fibrosis compared with t...

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...

Biotyping of Haemophilus influenzae into five type and H. parainfluenzae into three types based on indole production, ornithine decarboxylase, and urease has been reported (M. Kilian, Acta Pathol. Microbiol. Scand. Sect. B 82:835--842, 1976). A commercially available test system designed for the 4-h identification of Enterobacteriaceae. Micro-ID, proved efficacious for the rapid biotyping of th...
متن کاملPrevalence and Molecular Characterization of Plasmid-mediated Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Genes (balaTEM, blaCTX and blASHV) Among Urinary Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates in Mashhad, Iran
Objective(s) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria have an important role in nosocomial infections. Due to the limited availability of information about the molecular epidemiology of ESBL producing bacteria in Mashhad, we decided to investigate about TEM, CTX and SHV ESBLs among urinary Escherichia coli isolates in Mashhad, a city in northeast Iran. Materials and Methods ...
