Temperature sensitivity of bacteriolysis induced by beta-lactam antibiotics in amino acid-deprived Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature-sensitive penicillin tolerance response previously reported in amino acid-deprived Escherichia coli (W. Kusser and E. E. Ishiguro, J. Bacteriol. 169:2310-2312, 1987) was not due to the induction of the heat shock response resulting from a temperature upshift and was therefore unrelated to the findings of another report (J. K. Powell and K. D. Young, J. Bacteriol. 173:4021-4026, 1991) indicating a positive correlation between the expression of heat shock proteins and penicillin tolerance. The thermosensitive event occurred in the lysis induction stage.

The Survey of Genes Encoding Beta-Lactamases, in Escherichia Coli Resistant to Beta-Lactam and Non-Beta-Lactam Antibiotics
Objective(s) Resistance to the new generation of cephalosporins which is mediated by Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has been found among Escherichia coli isolates throughout the world. These resistance genes and their producers, the micro-organisms carrying beta-lactamases, are responsible for serious clinical and therapeutic problems among inpatients and it is necessary to pay more...

Abstract Background and objectives: Beta-lactamase enzymes are the most causes of resistance to antibiotics among gram-negative bacteria. Nowadays, Infections due to ESBLs are being increased throughout the world and is considered as a new burden to the health systems. This study aimed at determining the sensitivity pattern of E.coli isolates to beta-lactam antibiotics, and investigating the pr...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility and Multi-drug Resistance of Escherichia coli Isolates Producing CTX-M and TEM Type Beta-lactamases in Mashhad, Iran, in 2010
Background & Aims: One of the most common causes of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is beta-lactamase producing. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance of urinary Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates producing CTX-M and TEM type beta-lactamases, and to determine the strains with co-resistance to multiple antibiotics in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: E. coli b...
متن کاملInvolvement of the relA gene in the autolysis of Escherichia coli induced by inhibitors of peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
It is generally assumed that inhibitors of peptidoglycan biosynthesis do not kill nongrowing bacteria. An exceptional case is reported here. The addition of chloramphenicol to amino acid-deprived cultures of relA+ strains of Escherichia coli which were treated with beta-lactam antibiotics, D-cycloserine, or moenomycin resulted in lysis. This phenomenon is termed chloramphenicol-dependent lysis....

The growth and viability of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposed to various concentrations of a number of beta-lactam group antibiotics were determined. In S. aureus, the bacteriolytic and bactericidal activity of these drugs was lower at very high drug concentrations than that occurring at low concentrations, but these phenomena were not observed in E. co...
