Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Corynebacterium striatum.

چکیده
The in vitro activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 86 strains of Corynebacterium striatum were evaluated by microdilution using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. MICs at which 90% of strains were inhibited were 0.06 microgram/ml for teicoplanin, 1 microgram/ml for vancomycin, 0.03 to 8 micrograms/ml for beta-lactams, 8 micrograms/ml for sparfloxacin, 16 micrograms/ml for ciprofloxacin, 16/304 micrograms/ml for co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), 64 micrograms/ml for tetracycline, 128 micrograms/ml for gentamicin, and > 128 micrograms/ml for amikacin, erythromycin, and rifampin.

Multidrug-Resistant Corynebacterium striatum Associated with Increased Use of Parenteral Antimicrobial Drugs
resistant bacteria. We retrospectively identified 179 isolates in a clinical database. Clinical relevance, in vitro susceptibility, and length of parenteral antimicrobial drug use were obtained from patient records. For patients with hardwareor device-associated infections, those with C. striatum infections were matched with patients infected with coagulase-negative staphylococci for case–contr...
متن کاملRelationship between mutations in the gyrA gene and quinolone resistance in clinical isolates of Corynebacterium striatum and Corynebacterium amycolatum.
Quinolone susceptibility was analyzed in 17 clinical isolates of Corynebacterium striatum and 9 strains of Corynebacterium amycolatum by the E-test method in Mueller-Hinton agar plates. The C. striatum ATCC 6940 strain was used as a control strain. The amplified quinolone resistance determining regions of the gyrA genes of C. amycolatum and C. striatum were characterized. Four in vitro quinolon...
متن کاملWhen Good Bugs Go Bad: Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Corynebacterium striatum, an Emerging Multidrug-Resistant, Opportunistic Pathogen.
Infections with Corynebacterium striatum have been described in the literature over the last 2 decades, with the majority being bacteremia, central line infections, and occasionally, endocarditis. In recent years, the frequency of C. striatum infections appears to be increasing; a factor likely contributing to this is the increased ease and accuracy of the identification of Corynebacterium spp....
متن کاملSusceptibility to Aminoglycosides and Distribution of aph and aac(3)-XI Genes among Corynebacterium striatum Clinical Isolates
Corynebacterium striatum is an opportunistic pathogen, often multidrug-resistant, which has been associated with serious infections in humans. Aminoglycosides are second-line or complementary antibiotics used for the treatment of Corynebacterium infections. We investigated the susceptibility to six aminoglycosides and the molecular mechanisms involved in aminoglycoside resistance in a collectio...

The in vitro activities of ABT-773 were evaluated against 15 Listeria monocytogenes strains and 196 coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples. One hundred percent of the L. monocytogenes strains were inhibited by </=0.015 micro g of ABT-773/ml. MICs of ABT-773 ( micro g/ml) at which 50% of the isolates tested were inhibited (MIC(50)s) and MIC(90)s for other organisms were 0.125 and 0.5...
