Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants with altered control of chromosomal beta-lactamase to piperacillin, ceftazidime, and cefsulodin.

چکیده
Examination of beta-lactam susceptibility of mutants altered in the control of chromosomal beta-lactamase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa supports the view that a constitutive level of beta-lactamase is not an adequate explanation for resistance to cefsulodin and ceftazidime but could be for resistance to piperacillin which has an efficiency of hydrolysis ca. 10 times higher than does cefsulodin or ceftazidime.

High-level beta-lactamase activity in sputum samples from cystic fibrosis patients during antipseudomonal treatment.
The in vivo activity and source of beta-lactamase in sputum samples from 43 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) during a 2-week antipseudomonal treatment were studied. A colorimetric method, based on the conversion of nitrocefin, was used for quantitation of the sputum beta-lactamase activity. beta-Lactamases in sputum were characterized by isoelectric focusing and inhibition profile and were co...
متن کاملSusceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa overproducing penicillin-binding protein 3.
By using a broad-host-range vector, pUCP27, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli pbpB genes, which encode penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3), were separately overexpressed in a P. aeruginosa strain, PAO4089, that is deficient in producing chromosomal beta-lactamase. Susceptibility studies indicated that overproduction of the P. aeruginosa PBP3 in PAO4089 resulted in twofold-increase...
متن کاملMechanisms of beta-lactam resistance amongst Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in an Italian survey.
The mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in 325 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were examined. These isolates were selected because of their resistance to meropenem and imipenem (breakpoint, >4 mg/L), carbenicillin (>128 mg/L), ceftazidime (>8 mg/L), piperacillin and ticarcillin/clavulanate (>64 mg/L). The most frequent mechanism of resistance was beta-lactamase-independent, s...
متن کاملAntibacterial activity and beta-lactamase stability of ceftazidime, an aminothiazolyl cephalosporin potentially active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The in vitro activity and beta-lactamase stability of ceftazidime were evaluated against 700 gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ceftazidime was less active than penicillins or older cephalosporins against Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp., and it did not inhibit Streptococcus faecalis, Listeria, or anaerobic species. Ceftazidime was as active as ceftizoxime and moxalactam and mo...
متن کاملPhenotypic Detection Of Metallo-beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated From Burned Patients
Background and Objective: Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-mediated resistance is an emerging threat in hospital isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is not enough information from Iran regarding the prevalence and the screening methods for such enzymes. The present study was undertaken to detect Metallo betalactamase in strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burned patien...
