Milk samples and milk products (69 in toto) were screened for the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae (52%), and maximum isolations (77%) were from ice cream samples (13). The isolates were hydrophobic, non-haemolytic and possessed both mannose resistant (MR) and mannose sensitive (MS) pili or only MR pili when tested with human or sheep blood, respectively. All isolates were resistant to one metal at least whereas about 98% exhibited resistance to two or more metal ions. The resistance frequency of 93%, 90% and 66.7% was observed against silver (20 micrograms/ml), cadmium (20 micrograms/ml) and mercuric ions (20 micrograms/ml), respectively. Multiple drug resistance (MDR) was observed in 10% of the isolates only. A direct correlation between the metal ion and antibiotic resistance was found in MDR strains. The klebocin typeability of 53% and 61% was observed with 153-158 and 153-156, U-5 and U-6 groups, respectively. The most common typing patterns involved strains 424 (21%) and 442 (31.8%). Only 61% of the isolates showed enterotoxigenicity by the coagglutination test.  相似文献

Enterobacteria were isolated by streaking swabs of sewage and rectal swabs from human volunteers from domesticated animals. Thirty strains of human origin were identified as Escherichia coli. Out of 1,367 rectal isolates of animal origin, 21% were lysogenic (phi+), 29% were colicinogenic (col+), and 7% were col+ phi+. Out of 85 rectal samples more than 60% harbored variable numbers of col+ or phi+ bacteria. Lysogens harboring homoimmune prophages were detectable in six out of eight human subjects in sequential samples taken at weekly intervals. Chickens in Hong Kong are fed on antibiotic-containing feeds; the avian isolates contained the highest frequency (98%) of drug-resistant bacteria, whereas only 39% of the bovine and 61% of the human isolates were drug resistant. Transmissible drug resistance was demonstrable in sewage isolates and those from animal sources; the highest frequency (58%) of resistance donors was shown by the avian isolates, and the lowest (9%) was shown by the bovine isolates. Unselected marker analysis has shown that a vast majority of multiply resistant donors of diverse origins are able to transmit multiple resistance.  相似文献

A field investigation of marine coastal waters revealed that the frequency of pigmented bacteria and the occurrence of bacterial antibiotic resistance were higher at the air-water interface than in the bulk water. The differences in the frequency of pigmented colonies at the surface and in the bulk-water samples could not be explained by the degree of cell surface hydrophobicity or by bacterial adhesion to air-water interfaces. Pigmented strains exhibited a higher degree of multiple drug resistance than did nonpigmented strains. However, the frequency of multiple drug resistance in nonpigmented strains was also substantial. An average of 91% of all strains were resistant to more than one antibiotic, and 21% of the bacteria isolated were resistant to five of the eight antibiotics tested. High numbers of plasmid-carrying strains were found among selected surface isolates, but the presence of detectable plasmids could not be correlated with either pigmentation or multiple drug resistance. Furthermore, selected surface isolates were significantly more resistant to mercury than were bulk-water bacteria. The higher frequency of pigmented, antibiotic-resistant, and mercury resistant strains at the air-water interface than in the bulk water are discussed in terms of various forms of selective pressure and genetic exchange at the surface.  相似文献

A total of 361 Escherichia coli O157 isolates, recovered from humans, cattle, swine, and food during the years 1985 to 2000, were examined to better understand the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among these organisms. Based on broth microdilution results, 220 (61%) of the isolates were susceptible to all 13 antimicrobials tested. Ninety-nine (27%) of the isolates, however, were resistant to tetracycline, 93 (26%) were resistant to sulfamethoxazole, 61 (17%) were resistant to cephalothin, and 48 (13%) were resistant to ampicillin. Highest frequencies of resistance occurred among swine isolates (n = 70), where 52 (74%) were resistant to sulfamethoxazole, 50 (71%) were resistant to tetracycline, 38 (54%) were resistant to cephalothin, and 17 (24%) were resistant to ampicillin. Based on the presence of Shiga toxin genes as determined by PCR, 210 (58%) of the isolates were identified as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Among these, resistance was generally low, yet 21 (10%) were resistant to sulfamethoxazole and 19 (9%) were resistant to tetracycline. Based on latex agglutination, 189 (52%) of the isolates were identified as E. coli O157:H7, among which 19 (10%) were resistant to sulfamethoxazole and 16 (8%) were resistant to tetracycline. The data suggest that selection pressure imposed by the use of tetracycline derivatives, sulfa drugs, cephalosporins, and penicillins, whether therapeutically in human and veterinary medicine or as prophylaxis in the animal production environment, is a key driving force in the selection of antimicrobial resistance in STEC and non-STEC O157.  相似文献

Cryptococcus laurentii has been classically considered a saprophytic species, although several cases of human infection have been already reported. This study aimed to evaluate the phospholipase, proteinase and hemolysins activity, the antifungal susceptibility profile, the genetic variability by M13 and (GACA)(4) fingerprinting and the internal transcribe spacer (ITS) sequencing of 38 C. laurentii isolates recovered from captive bird droppings and surrounding hospital areas. All of them exhibited phospholipase activity, while the hemolytic activity was evidenced in 34 (89.4%) isolates. None of them exhibited proteinase activity. Twenty-seven isolates (71.1%) presented susceptibility dose dependent to fluconazole. Most isolates (94.7%) were susceptible to voriconazole, while one (2.65%) was resistant to this drug. Twenty-one (55.3%) isolates showed reduced susceptibility to itraconazole while nine (23.7%) were resistant. Three (7.9%) and five (13.1%) isolates exhibited resistance to ketoconazole and amphotericin B, respectively. Most C. laurentii fingerprinting obtained with M13 and (GACA)(4) showed high heterogeneity. By using the two primers, seven (18.4%) isolates grouped as A (CL2, CL7, and CL8), B (CL35, CL38) and C (CL29, CL30) with 100% similarity. Different from most variable surrounding hospital isolates, all but one of the pet shops strains clustered with the two primers, although they had been recovered from different neighborhoods. All isolates were identified as C. laurentii phylogenetic group I by ITS sequencing. Thus, the presence of virulence factors, a decreased antifungal susceptibility and a heterogeneous molecular pattern of the C. laurentii isolates here described suggests this species can be a potential pathogen in the context of the immunocompromised population.  相似文献

One hundred and twenty-two isolates of Haemophilus influenzae causing invasive disease were collected in Manitoba, Canada, from 2000 to 2006 and examined for serotype, biotype, sequence type (ST) by multilocus sequence typing and antibiotic susceptibility. Nonserotypeable (NST) isolates accounted for over half of the isolates collected (69 isolates, 56.6%). There were 36 serotype a, five serotype b, two serotype c, one serotype d, four serotype e and five serotype f isolates collected. The 69 NST isolates were found to be very diverse, with isolates representing six biotypes and 45 STs. The serotypeable isolates were more clonal, with each of the serotypes showing little diversity in their biotypes and STs. Of the 122 isolates, 17% were resistant to ampicillin due to beta-lactamase production, 10.7% were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 1.6% were resistant to clarithromycin, 2.5% were resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and none was resistant to ciprofloxacin or moxifloxacin. Antibiotic resistance was more common in the NST strains, with 37.7% showing resistance to at least one antibiotic compared to 15% in the serotypeable strains. The results of this study suggest a shift in the epidemiology of invasive H. influenzae infections in the post-Hib vaccine era, and surveillance should include all serotypeable and NST isolates.  相似文献

Forty strains of Acinetobacter were isolated from different environmental sources. All the strains were classified into four genospecies, i.e. A. baumannii (33 isolates), A. calcoaceticus (three isolates), A. junii (three isolates) and A. genospecies3 (one isolate). Susceptibility of these 40 strains to salts of 20 heavy metals and 18 antibiotics was tested by the agar dilution method. All environmental isolates of Acinetobacter were resistant to multiple metal ions (minimum 13 metal ions) while all but one of the strains were resistant to multiple antibiotics (minimum four antibiotics). The maximum number of strains were found to be sensitive to mercury (60% strains) while all strains were resistant to copper, lead, boron and tungsten even at 10 mm concentration. Salts of these four metal ions may be added to the growth medium to facilitate selective isolation of Acinetobacter. Rifampicin and nalidixic acid were the most toxic antibiotics, inhibiting 94.5 and 89.5% of the acinetobacters, respectively. A. genospecies3 was found to be the most resistant species, tolerating high concentrations of all the 20 metal ions and also to a greater number of antibiotics than any other species of Acinetobacter tested. An inhibitory concentration (10 mm) of Ni2+ and Zn2+ was observed to inhibit the growth of all of the clinical isolates but allowed the growth of the environmental isolates, facilitating the differentiation between pathogenic and non-pathogenic acinetobacters.  相似文献

Etiological structure, patterns and antibiotic resistance mechanisms of gramnegative nonfermenting pathogens of nosocomial infections isolated from patients in intensive care units and surgical departments were investigated. One hundred thirty one clinical isolates, including 86 (65.6%) isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 45 (34.4%) isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were tested. Carbapenems and cefoperazone/sulbactam showed the highest activity against the tested isolates. Eleven carbapenem resistant strains of P. aeruginosa were detected. The strains were found to possess genetic determinants of the VIM group encoding metal beta-lactamases.  相似文献

A total of 57 (36 and 21) Azotobacter chroococcum were isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum) rhizospheric soil irrigated with industrial wastewater (about a decade) and ground water (uncontaminated) and characterized on the basis of morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Rhizospheric soils were analyzed for metal concentrations by atomic absorption spectrophotometery and the test soil samples were contaminated with Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. All the isolates of A. chroococcum were tested for their resistance against Hg2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Cr6+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+. Among 36 isolates of Azotobacter from soil irrigated with industrial wastewater, 94.4% were resistant to Pb2+ and Hg2+ and 86.1%, 77.5% and 63.8% were resistant to Zn2+, Cr6+ and Cr3+ respectively. The highest minimum inhibitory concentration of 200 microg/ml for Hg2+ and 1600 microg/ml for other metals were observed against these bacteria from soil. The incidences of metal resistance and MICs of metals for A. chroococcum from wastewater irrigated soil were significantly different to those of uncontaminated soil. All A. chroococcum isolates were tested for their resistance against 11 commonly used antibiotics/drugs. 91.6% were found to be resistant against nitrofurantoin while 86.4% and 80.5% were found to be resistant against polymyxin-B and co-trimoxazole respectively. Agarose gel electrophoresis using the miniprep method for plasmid isolation revealed that these isolates harboured plasmids of molecular weights 58.8 and 64.5 kb using EcoRI and HindIII digests of X DNA and undigested X DNA as standard markers.  相似文献

Nucleotide changes in catalase peroxidase (Kat G) gene and gene encoding the beta subunit of RNA polymerase (rpo B), responsible for isoniazid and rifampicin drug resistance were determined in the clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by PCR-RFLP, Line probe assay and DNA sequencing. PCR-RFLP test was performed by HapII cleavage of an amplified fragment of Kat G gene to detect the transversion 315AGC-->ACC(Ser-->Thr) which is associated with INH drug resistance. The Line probe assay kit was evaluated to detect the mutation in 81bp RMP resistance determining region of rpo B gene associated with RMP drug resistance. These results were validated by DNA sequencing and drug susceptibility test. Kat G S 315 T mutation was found in 74.19% strains of M. tuberculosis from Delhi. This mutation was not found in any of the susceptible strains tested. The line probe assay kit and DNA sequencing identified 18 isolates as RMP resistant with specific mutation, while one of the RMP resistant strain was identified as RMP susceptible, with a concordance of 94.73% with the phenotypic drug susceptibility result. Majority (8 of 19, 42.1%) of resistant isolates involved base changes at codon 531 of rpo B gene. Both PCR-RFLP and Line probe assay test can be used in many of the clinical microbiology laboratories for early detection of isoniazid and rifampicin drug resistance in clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis.  相似文献

Metal-resistant bacteria were isolated from sediments of the Laguna Madre, a rare hypersaline estuary impacted by many anthropogenic compounds, including various metals and metalloids. Bacteria were initially isolated on nutrient agar supplemented with NaCl; random isolates (n = 100) were tested for metal resistance toward zinc, nickel, chromium, and cadmium using a pour plate disc assay. Metal-resistant cultures were assayed for plasmids that contained naturally-occurring heavy metal resistance genes. Putative metal-resistance plasmids were tested for metal-resistance efficacy by transforming a metal-sensitive strain of Escherichia coli. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) primers were designed to detect cnrA, part of a nickel–cobalt resistance gene cluster, and restriction endonuclease digests were performed to detect restriction sites within the plasmid. Results showed that many bacterial isolates tested were resistant toward most of the metals used in this study. Among tested bacteria cultures, 34 were resistant to zinc, 64 were resistant to chromium, and 51 resistant to cadmium. Only 8 cultures were resistant to nickel; however, most bacteria were found to be resistant to more than one metal. Several plasmids were found from the bacteria isolates. One plasmid, designated pDZ5, was isolated from a bacterium identified as Bacillus pumilus by 16S rRNA sequencing. Plasmid pDZ5 conferred nickel resistance to the metal-sensitive E. coli strain and was found to contain cnrA as confirmed by PCR amplification. Plasmid pDZ5 was successfully cut with restriction enzymes for potential ligation with reporter genes. The presence, abundance and expression of pDZ5 may prove to be a useful bio-indicator of metal contamination, specifically nickel pollution, in the Laguna Madre due to the fewer number of bacteria that were nickel-resistant compared to other metals.  相似文献

Resistance of the main causative agents of purulent septic infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, etc. to 11 chemotherapeutic drugs was studied. The pathogens were isolated from autopsies of 203 newborns who died within 1981 to 1987. Among 2978 isolates belonging to Enterobacteriaceae (2466 strains) and Pseudomonadaceae (512 strains) which constituted 88% of all the isolates, strains with multiple resistance predominated: 90% of the strains resistant to 4 or more antibiotics, 77% of the strains resistant to 6 or more antibiotics and 48% of the strains resistant to 8 or more antibiotics. The highest number of the isolates were resistant to 8 and 9 chemotherapeutics (19 and 20%, respectively). 84% of all the isolates belonged to 4 genera: Klebsiella (34%), Escherichia (21%), Serratia (14%) and Pseudomonas (15%). They were characterized by the highest resistance spectra. In all the cases massive colonization of the intestine by the strains with multiple resistance which caused purulent septic infections was observed. The most frequent variants of the drug resistance combination were determined. In the total frequency of the isolate with multiple resistance no significant differences were detected in 1981 and thereafter. In 1986-1987 the frequency of S. marcescens strains increased 3-5 times with simultaneous broadening of their drug resistance spectra. Strains of S. marcescens and K. pneumoniae with multiple drug resistance endemic for definite hospitals were detected.  相似文献

In this study, the effects of 1-(1-naphtylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP), an efflux pump inhibitor, on antimicrobial drug susceptibilities of 42 clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were investigated by the disc diffusion method. The inhibition zone diameters of antibiotic discs were tested in the presence and absence of NMP and then these zone diameters were compared. Presence of NMP restored ciprofloxacin susceptibility in 15 intermediate and 2 resistant isolates. One ciprofloxacin resistant isolate became intermediate in the presence of NMP. One isolate resistant to gentamicin became intermediate with NMP. Interestingly, one isolate susceptible to meropenem became resistant in the presence of NMP. Although NMP increased the inhibition zone diameters of some of the tested antibiotics against the resistant isolates, the increase was not enough to restore susceptibility. In conclusion, the presence of NMP increases the zone diameters of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. Intermediate strains become susceptible but the resistant isolates do not.  相似文献
