In vitro activity of eight antimicrobial agents against non-penicillinase-producing gonococci isolated in Munich.

چکیده
The susceptibility of 119 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in Munich in 1986 to eight antibiotics was assessed. Although some degree of resistance to penicillin and tetracycline, as well as high minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of spectinomycin, were observed, all the strains were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, fleroxacin, cefotaxime, and FCE 22250.

In vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities of penicillinase-producing and non-penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in Durban, South Africa.
The in vitro susceptibilities of 22 penicillinase-producing and 32 non-penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to 13 antimicrobial agents, including the new semisynthetic penicillins and cephalosporins, are reported. Ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and cefotaxime were the most active agents tested; none of them had an MIC of greater than 0.03 micrograms/ml. Amoxycillin plus clavulani...

Inhibitory activity of cephalexin, cephradine, and cefaclor was compared by the WHO-ICS agar dilution technique. Cefaclor was substantially more active against staphylococci, streptococci, gonococci, meningococci, Haemophilus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter diversus, Proteus mirabilis, salmonellae, and shigellae than was cephalexin, which in turn was more active than cephr...

Background and Objective: Burn wound infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting β-lactam antibiotic resistance are one of the greatest challenges of antimicrobial treatment. In this context, P. aeruginosa strains harboring resistance mechanisms, such as production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases have the highest clinical impact no the management of burn wound infections. The ai...
متن کاملFeasibility of screening for penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae from primary culture plates by using a rapid microacidometric test.
We have shown that it is possible to screen for penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae directly from primary culture plates. Experiments involving the cocultivation of four genera of beta-lactamase-positive (beta-lac(+)) bacteria and a beta-lactamase-negative (beta-lac(-)) N. gonorrhoeae on modified Thayer-Martin medium indicated that suppressed or inhibited beta-lac(+) bacteria did not ...
متن کاملConjugative plasmids in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A conjugation system initially discovered in beta-lactamase-producing gonococci mobilized small non-selftransmissible R plasmids encoding beta-lactamase (penicillinase) production into other gonococci, Neisseria, and Escherichia coli. This conjugation system was mediated by a separate selftransmissible plasmid of 23.9 X 10(6) daltons, pFA2. Conjugative plasmids capable of mobilizing R plasmids ...
