Resistant urinary infections resulting from changes in resistance pattern of faecal flora induced by sulphonamide and hospital environment.
The faecal flora was studied in eight children admitted to hospital for treatment of a first urinary infection with sulphonamides. The original, sulphonamide-sensitive Escherichia coli organisms were found to disappear, to be replaced by other E. coli serotypes that were almost invariably resistant to sulphonamides. Some of these serotypes carried R-factors for multiple antibiotic resistance.Po...
متن کاملFrequency of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and Associated Risk Factors and Its Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern Among Healthcare Workers in Pastor and Aflatoonian Hospitals in Bam, Southeast Iran, in 2017: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background and Objectives: Colonization of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose of healthcare workers (HCWs) can be considered as the main source of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of S. aureus nasal carriage among HCWs in Pastor and Aflatoonian hospitals in Bam, its antibiotic resistance patterns, and determine Staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing an...

متن کاملPrevalence of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriers and antibiotic resistance among staff of clinical wards in Nikuee Hospital, Qom, Iran, in 2012
Background: Nosocomial infections are an important cause of hospital mortalities. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) carriers among medical staff are an important source of nosocomial infections. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the nasal carriers of S. aureus and antibiotic resistance in staff of Nikuee Hospital, Qom, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-s...
متن کاملThe effects of oxytetracycline on the intestinal Escherichia coli flora of newly weaned pigs.
Four recently weaned pigs were dosed orally with oxytetracycline. This caused a rapid increase in the incidence of tetracycline resistance (TcR) among Escherichia coli isolates from the faecal flora. The isolates were differentiated further on the basis of O-serogroup, biotype and resistance pattern. There was no evidence that the administration of the antibiotic selected for a few TcR clones, ...
