Antibiotic susceptibility of Chlamydia pneumoniae.
نویسنده
چکیده
Chlamydia species are susceptible in vitro to certain antibiotics, and various tetracyclines, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones are used for the treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis infections. Less is known about the in vitro susceptibility and chemical response to infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae. Results of in vitro studies from the literature and from my laboratory employing a tissue culture model of infection with C.

A reverse transcriptase-PCR based assay for in-vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing of Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Infections caused by Chlamydia spp are an important cause of human disease, and the accuracy and reproducibility of antimicrobial susceptibility tests for these bacteria could have considerable clinical implications. We have developed a reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) based method to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of Chlamydia spp., and compared this with conventional tests using im...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibilities of Chlamydia pneumoniae strains recovered from atherosclerotic coronary arteries.
Chlamydia pneumoniae strains have been recovered from arteriosclerotic coronary arteries, but their antibiotic susceptibility profiles have not yet been examined. We report in vitro susceptibility data for five cardiovascular C. pneumoniae isolates. These strains did not differ significantly from respiratory strains in their patterns of susceptibility to azithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromyci...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of azithromycin and doxycycline against 15 isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Fourteen isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae, 12 from clinically ill patients and 2 from subjectively healthy individuals from an area within a 400-km proximity of Gävle, Sweden, and strain IOL-207, originally from the eye of an Iranian child, were tested for susceptibilities to the antibiotics doxycycline and azithromycin. MICs and minimum chlamydiacidal concentrations were found to correlate wel...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibilities of Chlamydia pneumoniae isolates from German patients and synergistic activity of antibiotic combinations.
The susceptibilities of six Chlamydia pneumoniae type strains and of six German patient isolates to erythromycin, azithromycin, roxithromycin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, ofloxacin, and rifampin were investigated. MICs and minimal chlamydicidal concentrations were all within the ranges reported previously. Combinations of azithromycin with either ofloxacin, doxycycline, or rifampin, as well as...
متن کاملIsolation and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Chlamydial isolates from Western barred bandicoots.
A range of species of Chlamydiales have previously been detected in a variety of Australian marsupials, including koalas and western barred bandicoots. Thirty-seven ocular, urogenital, or nasal swabs were obtained from 21 wild western barred bandicoots. Chlamydia culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed for cycloheximide-treated HEp-2 cells in 96-well microtiter plates. Chla...
