This is a retrospective study of 15 difficult-to-treat (i.e., exhibiting previous failure, patient side effects, or resistance to ciprofloxacin and co-trimoxazole) chronic bacterial prostatitis infections (5 patients with multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae [MDRE]) receiving fosfomycin-tromethamine at a dose of 3 g per 48 to 72 h for 6 weeks. After a median follow-up of 20 months, 7 patients...

Atelerix albiventris and Hystrix javanica are currently traded as pets or consumed in Indonesia, but there has been no research about bacteria from the vulva swab before. This aims to isolate identify swabs of , their antibiotic susceptibility. Samples were isolated by blood agar plates selective media identified biochemical tests. Kirby Bauer’s disk diffusion method was used for antimicrobial ...

Background: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of fosfomycin resistance and frequency extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production in Escherichia coli isolates from three kidney transplant patients (KTPs) Tehran. Methods: Sixty clinical uropathogenic E. were collected centers Tehran between April May 2019. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), minimum inhibitory concentrati...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed the characteristics of pathogens identified in clinical isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) and their in vitro sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics in the clinical setting in China. DESIGN AND SETTING Multicenter study was conducted between January and December 2011 in 12 hospitals in China. PARTICIPANTS Urine samples were collected fr...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate oral single/multiple doses of Fosfomycin Trometamol with clinical and microbiological efficacy in:Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy.Endourological procedures.Lower urinary tract infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective, uncontrolled, open label study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals over a period of three years. A total of...

Organisms of Chlamydia spp. are obligate intracellular, gram-negative bacteria with a dimorphic developmental cycle that takes place entirely within a membrane-bound vacuole termed an inclusion. The chlamydial anomaly refers to the fact that cell wall-active antibiotics inhibit Chlamydia growth and peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis genes are present in the genome, yet there is no biochemical evidenc...

PURPOSE One hospital's experience with procuring i.v. fosfomycin via an expanded-access protocol to treat a panresistant infection is described. SUMMARY In mid-2014, a patient at a tertiary care institution had an infection caused by a gram-negative pathogen expressing notable drug resistance. Once it was determined by the infectious diseases (ID) attending physician that i.v. fosfomycin was ...

Combination therapy is recommended for infections with carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, limited data exist on which antibiotic combinations are the most effective. The aim of this study was to find effective antibiotic combinations against metallo-beta-lactamase-producing K. pneumoniae (MBL-KP). Two VIM- and two NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains, all susceptible to coli...

To further characterize the fosB-carrying plasmids of 19 vancomycin-resistant enterococci, the complete sequences of the fosB- and vanA-containing plasmids of Enterococcus faecium (pEMA120) and E. avium (pEA19081) were obtained by single-molecule, real-time sequencing. We found that these two plasmids are essentially identical (99.99% nucleotide sequence identity), which proved the possibility ...
