Susceptibility to five antimicrobial agents of strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group isolated in Brazil.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activity of metronidazole, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, cefoxitin, and carbenicillin was tested by an agar dilution method against 228 strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group isolated from human intestinal microbiota during 1981 and 1982. All the strains were susceptible to metronidazole. Resistance rates for chloramphenicol, clindamycin, cefoxitin, and carbenicillin were 2, 37, 21, and 13%, respectively.

Longitudinal study of susceptibilities of species of the Bacteroides fragilis group to five antimicrobial agents in three medical centers.
A total of 579 clinical isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group collected from three Canadian hospitals were tested for susceptibility to five antimicrobial agents by using an agar dilution method. During the 4-year survey, isolates from intra-abdominal infections were collected from the following sites: abdominal abscesses (48%), peritoneal fluid (39%), blood (10%), and bile (3%). B. fragil...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and imipenem against anaerobic bacteria isolated from community hospitals.
The susceptibilities of recent clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria from two community hospitals were determined. Thirty percent of pigmented Bacteroides species and bile-sensitive, nonpigmented Bacteroides species produced penicillinase and were resistant to amoxicillin. Cefoxitin and clindamycin showed good activity against most strains, with the exception of rare isolates of the Bacteroid...

Bacteroides fragilis has been isolated from several human and non-human monomicrobial and mixed infections. In this study, some virulence markers and the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria of the B. fragilis group isolated from children's stools were evaluated. All the 64 isolates showed the following characteristics: capsulated, beta-hemolytic, hydrophilic, and serum-resistant. Only, 24 ...
متن کاملSurvey of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the bacteria of the Bacteroides fragilis group isolated from the intestinal tract of children.
The bacteria of the Bacteroides fragilis group are considered important clinical pathogens and they are the most common anaerobes isolated from human endogenous infections. In this study, the susceptibility patterns to antibiotics and metals of 114 species of the B. fragilis group isolated from children with and without diarrhea were determined. Susceptibility was assayed by using an agar dilut...
