abstract

backgrounds: different susceptibility rates of pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobial agents are considered major factors in the choice of drugs and the success of treatments. concerns have been raised regarding the emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria that may result in unpredictable antimicrobial susceptibilities and therapy failure. objectives: the purpose of this investigation was to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of 1,000 bacterial isolates to five antibacterial agents commonly used in the iranian poultry industry. methods: from july 2008 to june 2009, the antimicrobial susceptibility of 1,000 bacterial isolates to five antibacterial agents was tested. these agents that are commonly used in the iranian poultry industry include colistin, doxycycline, enrofloxacin, florfenicol, and sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprime. the data were provided by 19 laboratories in eight iranian provinces. results: the bacterial species belonged mainly to escherichia coli and salmonella spp. of all tested samples, 55.5% were resistant to colistin, 61.5% to doxycycline, 41.5% to enrofloxacin, 34.5% to florfenicol, and 65.5% to sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprime. conclusions: the findings of this survey represent the high frequency of resistance to antimicrobial agents commonly used in the iranian poultry industry. they also highlight the need for the implementation of a national monitoring program for antimicrobial resistance and for a rational use of antimicrobial drugs.

Susceptibility of bacterial etiological agents to commonly-used antimicrobial agents in children with sepsis at the Tamale Teaching Hospital

BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections in neonates and infants are life-threatening emergencies. Identification of the common bacteria causing such infections and their susceptibility patterns will provide necessary information for timely intervention. This study is aimed at determining the susceptibilities of bacterial etiological agents to commonly-used antimicrobial agents for empirical treatment...

Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of and Adaptation to Five Disinfectants Commonly Used against Salmonella in the Poultry Industry

MIC-tests in replicate were performed on 286 Salmonella isolates (269 from Danish poultry, including 256 from broiler houses, and 17 from England, mainly from poultry) against five disinfectants used in the poultry industry (glutaraldehyde/benzalkonium chloride compound, formaldehyde, oxidising compound, tar oil phenol, iodophor). Generally, the small variations in MIC could not be associated w...

Susceptibility of Mycoplasma bovis field isolates to antimicrobial agents

The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility of field isolates of Mycoplasma bovis originating from the upper respiratory tract of cattle of different ages. Bacteriological examination of 90 nasal swabs collected from calves at three months of age identified M. bovis in 31 (34.44%) samples. Seventeen (18.88%) of these animals still housed M. bovis in their nasal c...

Susceptibility of 186 Nocardia sp. isolates to 20 antimicrobial agents.

This study determined the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 186 clinical isolates of Nocardia spp. isolated in Gipuzkoa, northern Spain, between 1998 and 2009. Most isolates were recovered from respiratory samples, Nocardia nova, N. farcinica, N. cyriacigeorgica, N. abscessus, and N. carnea being the species most frequently isolated. Linezolid and amikacin were the only two antimicrobials to wh...

Susceptibility of Propionibacterium acnes clinical isolates to 22 antimicrobial agents.

Susceptibilities of 104 Propionibacterium acnes isolates to each of 22 antimicrobial agents was evaluated by broth microdilution. These isolates were susceptible to all of the test agents except metronidazole. N-Formimidoyl thienamycin, a penem coded Sch 29482, and penicillin ranked first, second, and third, respectively, in activity and were significantly more active than other penicillins, ce...
