Resistance to 13 antimicrobial agents, resistance to the bactericidal activity of human serum, hydrophobic properties, lipolytic activity and production of histamine were determined in a total of 50 clinicalAcinetobacter spp. strains (A. baumannii, A. lwoffii, A. calcoaceticus, A. haemolyticus). None of the tested isolates showed resistance to meropenem and none ofA. lwoffii, A. calcoaceticus andA. haemolyticus strains were resistant to amikacin. Forty-six strains (92 %) manifested resistance to ampicillin, 90 % to cefuroxime, 68 % to ciprofloxacin, 58 % to piperacillin, gentamicin and cotrimaxazole, 50 % to cefotaxime, 44 % to amikacin, 42 % to ceftazidime, 38 % to piperacillin/tazobactam, 24 % to netilmicin and 16 % to ampicillin/sulbactam. In particular,A. baumannii andA. calcoaceticus strains showed considerable antibiotic resistance. Thirty-one isolates (62 %) showed serum resistance; intermediate sensitivity was found in 19 isolates (38 %). The majority of the strains (72 %) demonstrated a strongly hydrophobic character; 16 % of isolates exhibited moderate hydrophobic properties. All strains showed lipolytic activity; production of histamine was detected in 14 of 43 strains examined.  相似文献

The sensitivity of strains ofEscherichia coli, with and without the RP1 R-factor, to antibiotics and other antibacterial agents has been studied. RP1+ strains ofE. coli were resistant to kanamycin, carbenicillin, and tetracycline, resistance to the first two antibiotics being produced by destruction of the drugs. This resistance could be transferred to two strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosa. The parent strain ofE. coli UB 1005, its two mutant strains (DC2 and DC3), and two of the strains with the RP1 R-factor showed a similar order of sensitivity to phenylmercuric nitrate, chlorhexidine, thiomersal, and mercuric chloride.E. coli strains DC2 and DC2 (RP1+) were the most sensitive to benzalkonium chloride and cetrimide. RP1+ strains were more resistant than RP1 strains to lysozyme-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, but treatment of the former strains with acriflavine rendered the cells more sensitive to the lytic system. There was no evidence thatP. aeruginosa (RP1+) strains possessed increased resistance to polymyxin or to disinfectants, although they became somewhat less sensitive to lysozyme-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.  相似文献

Aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes were identified in clinical strains ofAcinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp.anitratus (Herellea vaginicola) isolated between 1971 and 1979. Resistance to kanamycin, neomycin, and lividomycin was explained by an aminoglycoside-3′-phosphotransferase enzyme. The resistance of gentamicin was due to an aminoglycoside 3N-acetyltransferase type I enzyme which had not previously been described in this species. Several strains producing both enzymes showed resistance to kanamycin, gentamicin, lividomycin, neomycin, and sisomicin and susceptibility to tobramycin and amikacin.  相似文献

The resistance ofSalmonellae to drugs has been studied in the Netherlands since 1958. In 1972, 1973, and 1974 respectively, 14241, 13086, and 22927 strains were tested for resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamyci and tetracycline. From 1973 all strains were also tested for resistance to trimethoprim. In the period covered, the yearly incidence of resistance to at least one of the above drugs ranged from 39.2% to 45.6% of all strains obtained from various sources (humans, animals, animal products, sewage, etc.). A new finding in the period 1972 to 1974 was that many multiply resistant strains emerged inS. typhimurium and inS. dublin isolated from calves and cattle. In 1974, 64.4% of all strains ofS. typhimurium from these animals appeared to be resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and kanamycin, and 25.5% of those ofS. dublin were found to be resistant to chloramphenicol and tetracycline. Of all strains ofSalmonellae examined in 1973 and 1974 respectively, 0.15 and 0.22% were resistant to trimethoprim, the main component of the twin-drug cotrimoxazol. Of the 142 strains ofS. typhi isolated in 1972 to 1974 two were resistant to tetracycline only, and one was resistant to all four antibiotics. The others had a normal susceptibility pattern.  相似文献

In 1977-8 gentamicin-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa became very common in a burns unit, over 90% being resistant at the peak of the outbreak. Some strains were also resistant to silver nitrate, though silver resistance was not found in any other strains of Ps aeruginosa isolated. Unlike the gentamicin resistance, the silver resistance was unstable, and strains became sensitive on repeated subculture. All the gentamicin-resistant strains of Ps aeruginosa were of the same serotype (O:11, H:2,5). Though gentamicin resistance could be transferred in vitro from resistant strains of Ps aeruginosa to one sensitive strain of Ps aeruginosa, there was no evidence of in-vivo transfer of gentamicin resistance between strains of pseudomonas in the patients'' burns, nor was there evidence of transfer of gentamicin resistance between Ps aeruginosa and enterobacteria. Carbenicillin-resistant and gentamicin-resistant Ps aeruginosa were sometimes found in the same burns, but no gentamicin-carbenicillin (doubly) resistant strains were found among the 986 strains tested during the outbreak. The outbreak of gentamicin-resistant Ps aeruginosa from burns was not reduced by stopping treatment with gentamicin and its analogues but only by segregating all patients with Ps aeruginosa in one of the two wards of the unit and admitting new patients only to the other ward.  相似文献

Summary The rate of resistance to tetracycline and chloramphenicol amongSalmonella strains isolated in the Netherlands in 1961 was found to be 3.96%, the corresponding figures for 1958/1959 and 1961 being 2.08 and 1.29 respectively. In this country the total number ofSalmonella types found to develop resistance to either tetracycline or chloramphenicol now amounts to 38. Almost 77% of all resistant strains isolated in 1961 were found among the human pathogenS.typhimurium. The relative frequency of resistance in this organism was 8.18%, as compared with 2.50% in 1958/1959 and 1.80% in 1960. In 1961 some cross infections caused by tetracycline resistant strains ofS.typhimurium were observed in man and on one occasion also in a herd of calves. A similar outbreak due to a tetracycline resistant strain ofS.bovis morbificans was seen in a hospital. As almost 87% of all antibiotic resistant strains found in 1961 originated from human patients, the resistance must be largely attributed to the therapeutic use of the drugs in question.  相似文献

Compared with other developed countries, vancomycin‐resistant enterococci (VRE) are not widespread in clinical environments in Japan. There have been no VRE outbreaks and only a few VRE strains have sporadically been isolated in our university hospital in Gunma, Japan. To examine the drug susceptibility of Enterococcus faecalis and nosocomial infection caused by non‐VRE strains, a retrospective surveillance was conducted in our university hospital. Molecular epidemiological analyses were performed on 1711 E. faecalis clinical isolates collected in our hospital over a 6‐year period [1998–2003]. Of these isolates, 1241 (72.5%) were antibiotic resistant and 881 (51.5%) were resistant to two or more drugs. The incidence of multidrug resistant E. faecalis (MDR‐Ef) isolates in the intensive care unit increased after enlargement and restructuring of the hospital. The major group of MDR‐Ef strains consisted of 209 isolates (12.2%) resistant to the five drug combination tetracycline/erythromycin/kanamycin/streptomycin/gentamicin. Pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis analysis of the major MDR‐Ef isolates showed that nosocomial infections have been caused by MDR‐Ef over a long period (more than 3 years). Multilocus sequence typing showed that these strains were mainly grouped into ST16 (CC58) or ST64 (CC8). Mating experiments suggested that the drug resistances were encoded on two conjugative transposons (integrative conjugative elements), one encoded tetracycline‐resistance and the other erythromycin/kanamycin/streptomycin/gentamicin‐resistance. To our knowledge, this is the first report of nosocomial infection caused by vancomycin‐susceptible MDR‐Ef strains over a long period in Japan.  相似文献

Thirty-three uropathogenic strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated for hemolytic activity in both bacterial broth culture filtrates and isolate lyzates, resistance to bactericidal activity of fresh human serum, resistance to six antibiotics and plasmid DNA profile. Twenty-four of the 33 (73%) bacterial filtrates showed lysis of rabbit erythrocytes, as did the three after guinea-pig erythrocyte treatment. Twelve of 33 isolate lysates showed in parallel lysis of both types of erythrocytes used. Serum resistance was found in 17 (52%) isolates, intermediate resistance in 15 (45%) isolates and only one isolate showed serum sensitivity. Resistance to antibiotics was detected as follows (in %): tetracycline 94, kanamycin 79, chloramphenicol 76, septrin 73, ampicillin 64, streptomycin 45, gentamicin 18. None of the isolates investigated showed resistance to colistine. With the exception of one isolate, plasmid DNA was detected in allP. aeruginosa strains.  相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a free-living bacterial species, is a major nosocomial pathogen, especially of compromised patients within medical facilities. Numerous factors contribute to the ecological selection of this bacterial species within the hospital environment, among which the expression of newly acquired or quiescent enzymatic capability seems par-amount. The emergence of pathogenic strains ofP. aeruginosa appears to be gradual, embodying a transition of strains from their natural aquatic environment, to establishing inanimate (hospital) and animate (human) reservoirs. In this stepwise transition, subsets ofP. aeruginosa may evolve which express a survival trait, for example, gentamicin resistance, but concomitantly suffer a loss of invasive potential. In this study,P. aeruginosa strains from natural [22], hospital [11], and stool [17] sources were evaluated for their physiological and exoenzymatic activity and compared with gentamicin-resistantP. aeruginosa (GRPA) strains [49] of clinical origin. As a whole, environmental and hospital isolates showed reduced enzymatic potential, for example, frequency of production of elastase, lipase, deoxyribonuclease, and pyocyanin production. Human fecal isolates most closely resembled the prototype of human invasiveP. aeruginosa in their gentamicin susceptibility (95%) and increased frequencies of exoenzymes, including elastase production. On the other hand, GRPA were frequently apyocyanogenic (9/49), lacked extracellular enzymes correlated with pathogenicity, and were rarely isolated from systemic sites. When encountered, these strains appeared to represent colonization of a body site rather than incitants of overt infection. As a subset ofP. aeruginosa, gentamicin resistance was seen predominantly among serotype 11 strains, and encountered most frequently from patients with localized urinary tract infections.  相似文献

The composition, subcellular distribution and rate of synthesis of phospholipids were compared in ethambutol susceptible and resistant strains ofMycobacterium smegmatis. Significant quantitative alterations in phospholipids accompanied the acquisition of resistance, whereas fatty acyl group composition of total phospholipid remained the same in ethambutol resistant and susceptible strains. Cell wall of resistant strain exhibited an accumulation of phospholipids and a decrease in the degree of unsaturation of phospholipid fatty acyl groups. Changes in the cell wall phospholipid composition may contribute to resistance ofMycobacterium smegmatis to ethambutol.  相似文献

In 1965 and 1966 respectively 9628 and 10467Salmonella strains were screened for resistance to tetracycline and chloramphenicol. In 1965 the major half of the strains were also tested for ampicillin resistance and in 1966 all strains passed this test. In 1965 20.9% and in 1966 21.7% were found resistant, mainly to tetracycline. The incidence of resistance to chloramphenicol remained low (less than 1%). By far the majority of the resistant strains belonged toS. typhi murium andS. panama. The rate of resistance in the former organism remained nearly equal to that observed in 1963 – 1964, whereas inS. panama it has diminished.Ampicillin-resistant strains were found in as many as 23 different types ofSalmonella. In 8 types in which ampicillin resistance was found, only animal strains were concerned. These findings may represent cases of primary ampicillin resistance. In the human strains ofSalmonella the incidence of ampicillin resistance increased from 11.6% in 1965 to 15.3% in 1966.  相似文献

Antibiotic resistance in 40 Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates from 110 diabetic patients (36%) was evaluated. Of these, 32 (80%) of the isolates showed multidrug-resistance to more than eight antibiotics and 35% isolates were found to be methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). All 40 S. aureus strains (100%) screened from diabetic clinical specimens were resistant to penicillin, 63% to ampicillin, 55% to streptomycin, 50% to tetracycline and 50% to gentamicin. Where as low resistance rate was observed to ciprofloxacin (20%) and rifampicin (8%). In contrast, all (100%) S. aureus strains recorded susceptibility to teicoplanin, which was followed by vancomycin (95%). Genotypical examination revealed that 80% of the aminoglycoside resistant S. aureus (ARSA) have aminoglycoside modifying enzyme (AME) coding genes; however, 20% of ARSA which showed non-AME mediated (adaptive) aminoglycoside resistance lacked these genes in their genome. In contrast all MRSA isolates possessed mecA, femA genetic determinants in their genome.

Imazalil tolerant isolates ofPenicillium spp. were recovered from sampling natural spore populations in storage rooms and apples collected from packinghouses in Lleida (Spain). ThePenicillium resistant strains belong to the speciesP. cyaneofulvum, P. variabile, P. rugulosum, P. minioluteum andP. pinophilum. 85% of the tested strains were resistant to imazalil in final concentrations of imazalil ranging from 4,500 µg/ml to 11,000 µg/ml. The resistance of these moulds to this fungicide was constant during successive subcultures. 89% ofPenicillium studied strains produced decay in the determination of parasitic fitness at 10 days.  相似文献

In this study, the prevalence of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance among 67 Acinetobacter spp. isolates, consisting of 21 Acinetobacter baumannii and 46 non‐baumannii Acinetobacter obtained from companion animals, was investigated. PCR analysis showed that the most prevalent virulence gene was afa/draBC (29.9%), followed by papC (22.4%) and cvaC (20.9%). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that resistance to gentamicin (14.9%) and ciprofloxacin (11.9%) was relatively prevalent. Five gentamicin‐ and/or ciprofloxacin‐resistant A. baumannii strains were assigned to ST25, ST149, ST164, ST203 and ST1198. All ciprofloxacin‐resistant isolates harbored point mutations in gyrA and/or parC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of preliminary monitoring of animal‐origin Acinetobacter spp. in Japan.

Summary Spontaneous and ethylmethane-sulfonate induced mutants of Escherichia coli resistant to gentamicin sulfate were isolated and investigated for alterations in the ribosomal protein pattern. It was found by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that three independently isolated strains did not show any spot for ribosomal protein L6. On cochromatography of radioactively labelled mutant and wild-type ribosomal proteins on carboxymethyl-cellulose columns a shift of the elution position of protein L6 was observed, the new elution positions being characteristic for the individual mutants analyzed which indicates that they possess different alterations in the L6 primary structure.Genetic analysis showed that the gentamicin resistant strains contain at least two mutations. One of them correlates with the altered L6 protein and causes an increased minimal inhibitory concentration of the drug by about 5 to 10-fold. The other mutation is not yet biochemically characterized. Its presence is connected with an about 10 to 20-fold increase in the resistance. Both mutations, when put together, confer resistance to 50 to 100 g/ml of the antibiotic in a low salt rich medium and to 1 mg/ml in a defined medium with a high concentration of phosphate. Cross-resistance analysis demonstrated that the three gentamicin-resistant (double-mutant) strains with the altered L6 protein are resistant to 50–100 g per ml of all other aminoglycoside antibioties tested. This forms a sharp contrast to the streptomycin resistance mutations present in strA1, strA40 or strA60 mutants which do not confer markedly increased levels of resistance to most of the other aminoglycosides.  相似文献

A total of 1316 strains of Salmonella belonging to 20 serotypes isolated at P.G.I. Chandigarh (India) were tested for drug resistance. Drug resistance was noticed in 494 (38.3%) of the strains; 194 (14.8%) of these strains were resistant to one drug, while 300 (23.5%) had multiple drug resistance. All isolated strains were sensitive to gentamicin, furazolidone and nalidixic acid.Resistance to streptomycin was observed in 233 (17.7%), chloramphenicol 197 (14,9%), tetracycline 293 (22.3%), ampicillin 428 (32.5%), kanamycin 206 (15.7%), neomycin 206 (15.7%) and sulphadiazine 215 (19.9%).Multiple drug resistance was most common in S. bareilly, S. typhimurium and S. anatum serotypes. Increase in incidence of drug resistance in Salmonellae has been noticed during 1972–1978.  相似文献

Out of 12,472 strains ofSalmonella isolated in the Netherlands in 1962, 1365, or 10.94%, were found to be resistant to tetracycline or chloramphenicol or to both. Compared with the findings of the preceding years (1958/59:2.08%, 1960:1.29%, 1961:3.96%) this is a considerable increase. Of these 1365 strains, 1285, or 94.1%, were resistant to tetracycline and 46, or 3.4%, were resistant to chloramphenicol. The remaining 34 strains, or 2.5%, were resistant to both drugs.Among allSalmonella strains isolated in 1962, 5517 belonged to the speciesS. typhi murium. Of these, 1203 or 21.8%, were resistant to tetracycline. The resistance rates of strains originating from human patients, calves, pigs, other animals and other materials were 24.4%, 37.1%, 15.0%, 8.0% and 5.7% respectively.Factors which may possibly have contributed to the greatly increased frequency of drug resistance inS. typhi murium are: (1) the rapid spread of the use of tetracycline for therapeutic, prophylactic and nutritive purposes, and (2) the possibility of an episome-mediated transfer of drug resistance from relatively harmless intestinal bacteria, such asE. coli, toS. typhi murium.  相似文献

Resistance to 17 antimicrobials, surface hydrophobicity, motility, biofilm, production ofN-acylhomoserine lactone signal molecules (N-butyrylhomoserine lactone andN-3-oxolauroylhomoserine lactone) and response to oxidative stress were analyzed in 47 clinicalPseudomonas aeruginosa strains. In addition to natural resistance, the strains demonstrated the greatest level of resistance to cefotaxime (91.5 %). Isolates in the range of 44.7–57.4 % were resistant to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin, of 25.5–36.2 % to cephalosporins. On the other hand, 97.9 % remained susceptible to meropenem, 93.6 % to piperacillin + tazobactam and 87.2% to piperacillin. The majority of the strains (72.3 %) manifested their hydrophilic character. Higher zones of motility showed 12 isolates (in average 54.8 mm) as compared to the others (30.2 mm). Approximately 1/3 of the strains (29.8 %) produced a higher amount of biofilm quantified by measuring the absorbance of solubilized crystal violet (0.20–0.46) than the rest of isolates (0–0.19). All but two strains producedN-3-oxolauroylhomoserine lactone and in 48.9 % of samplesN-butyrylhomoserine lactone were detected. Only four isolates with higher biofilm production showed both types of homoserine lactone. Majority of the strains (70.2 %) manifested higher resistance to H2O2 than the rest of the strains. The group of strains resistant to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin revealed a significantly higher number of hydrophobic strains (compared with the sensitive ones). In contrast, higher number of strains sensitive to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin or only to ciprofloxacin producedN-butyrylhomoserine lactone and biofilm (compared to the resistant ones). Such association was not found among the rest of the tested parameters. The results indicate that the resistance to antimicrobials inP. aeruginosa isolates was not generally associated with changes in the production of the pathogenicity factors.  相似文献

The antimicrobial resistance of 1,018 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from fecal specimens of the urban population of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was studied. Resistance to 1 or more of 10 antimicrobial agents was encountered in 50.2% of the isolates. Of the isolates tested,Escherichia coli (0.8%) andKlebsiella species (1.6%) were found resistant to seven antimicrobial agents simultaneously: ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, colistin, streptomycin, tetracycline, and carbenicillin. Resistance to nalidixic acid was encountered in only 0.68% of theE. coli isolates. No isolate was found to be resistant to gentamicin. Eighty-six of the resistant strains were tested for their ability to transfer their resistance. Forty percent were able to do so withE. coli K-12.  相似文献
