Comparison of bacterial counts (BCs) among common bedding types used for dairy cows, including straw, is needed. There is concern that the microbial content of organic bedding is elevated and presents risks for dairy cow udder health and milk quality. The objectives of this study were to investigate: (1) % DM and BCs (Streptococcus spp., all gram-negatives and specifically Klebsiella spp.) in different types of bedding sampled, and to investigate housing and farm management factors associated with % DM and BCs; (2) if bedding type was associated with hygiene of cow body parts (lower-legs, udder, upper-legs and flank) and housing and management factors associated with hygiene and (3) bedding types associated with higher BCs in cow milk at the farm level and bulk tank milk and management factors that were associated with highest BCs. Seventy farms (44 free-stall and 26 tie-stall) in Ontario, Canada were visited 3 times, 7 days apart from October 2014 to February 2015. At each visit, composite samples of unused and used bedding were collected for % DM determination and bacterial culture. Used bedding samples were collected from the back third of selected stalls. Data were analyzed using multivariable linear mixed models. Bedding classification for each farm were: new sand (n = 12), straw and other dry forage (n = 33), wood products (shavings, sawdust; n = 17) and recycled manure solids (RMSs)-compost, digestate (n = 8). In used bedding, across all bedding samples, sand was driest, compared to straw and wood, and RMS; higher % DM was associated with lower Streptococcus spp. count. Streptococcus spp. and all Gram-negative bacteria counts increased with increasing days since additional bedding was added. Gram-negative bacteria counts in used bedding varied with type: RMS = 16.3 ln colony-forming units (cfu)/mL, straw = 13.8 ln cfu/mL, new sand = 13.5 ln cfu/mL, and wood = 10.3 ln cfu/mL. Klebsiella spp. counts in used bedding were lower for wood products (5.9 ln cfu/mL) compared to all other bedding types. Mean cow SCC tended to be higher on farms with narrower stalls. Farms with mattress-based stalls had a higher prevalence of cows with dirty udders compared to those using a deep bedding system (often inorganic sand). Wider stalls were associated with lower bulk milk bacteria count. Lower % DM of used bedding was associated with higher bulk milk bacteria count. In conclusion, bedding management may have a profound impact on milk quality, bacterial concentrations in the bedding substrates, and cow hygiene. 相似文献

This study aimed to determine whether Syrian (golden) hamsters, Mesocricetus auratus, prefer certain bedding materials and whether bedding material can affect paw condition, body weight gain and wheel-running activity. In a first experiment, 26 male hamsters had access to two connected cages, each cage containing a different bedding material (either pine shavings, aspen shavings, corn cob or wood pellets). In a second experiment, 14 male hamsters had access to four connected cages that contained the different bedding materials and also a piece of paper towel to serve as nest material. In a third experiment, 30 male hamsters were each placed in a single cage, 10 of them with pine shavings, 10 with aspen shavings and 10 with corn cob, and they were monitored for 50 days. Significant preferences in the first experiment were: pine shavings over aspen shavings, corn cob over wood pellets, pine shavings over corn cob and aspen shavings over wood pellets (aspen shavings versus corn cob was not tested). However, there was no significant preference expressed in the second experiment, suggesting that the general preference for shavings in the first experiment was based on bedding material suitability as a nesting material. No significant effect of bedding material on paw condition, body weight gain and wheel-running activity was detected. None of the four bedding materials tested in this study can be judged to be inappropriate in the short term if nesting material is added to the cage and if the litter is changed regularly. 相似文献

禽畜养殖粪便中多重抗生素抗性细菌研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
通过对新乡地区8家养猪场和11家养鸡场饲喂抗生素情况的调研,发现头孢氨苄、阿莫西林、卡那霉素、庆大霉素等4种抗生素是该地区被普遍使用的兽药抗生素。通过多点取样法和微生物培养技术对3家养鸡场和3家养猪场不同养殖时期的粪便进行单一抗生素和多重抗生素抗性细菌的检测,结果表明养鸡场堆置1周的粪便中抗头孢氨苄的细菌比例最高,达到65.90%,对所研究的3种和4种抗生素同时抗性的比例高达8.60%—12.51%和9.73%,明显高于饲喂中药的对照养鸡场样本检测结果(0.02%—2.73%和0.12%)。养猪场堆置1周的粪便中检测到抗头孢氨苄的细菌比例也是最高,达到49.12%上,但养猪场粪便中多重抗生素抗性细菌的比例明显低于养鸡场。同时研究发现,在两种养殖场中,幼龄期粪便中检测到的多重抗性细菌比例明显高于成熟期粪便,这可能与养殖过程中鸡、猪在幼龄期由于防病和促生长等因素而同时大剂量使用多种抗生素有关。 相似文献

Increased antibacterial resistance (ABR) and limited drug discovery warrant optimized use of available antibiotics. One option is to rationally combine two antibiotics (fixed dose combination (FDC)) that may delay or prevent emergence of ABR in notorious pathogen. Major concern with FDC is the mutual interaction of its components that might influence their pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, requiring reassessing of whole formulation (adding cost and time). The interaction can be identified by comparing PK profile of a drug present in FDC with its independent entity. An open-label, crossover, single-dose comparative PK study of FDC (ceftriaxone and sulbactam) with their individual reference formulations was performed in 24 healthy adult subjects. No mutual PK interactions between ceftriaxone and sulbactam were observed. Pharmacokinetic data was used to develop a population-PK model to understand between-subject variability (BSV). Pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone/sulbactam was explained by one and two compartment models, respectively. The subject’s “weight” was identified as a covariate explaining BSV. Both internal and external validations (healthy/infected subjects) were done. The model-derived population-PK parameters of FDC’s active components in infected subjects were similar to literature reported values of individual components. Efficacies of various FDC dosage regimens over a range of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were assessed by Monte Carlo simulations using population-PK parameters of infected/healthy subjects. In infected subjects, 3 g FDC/24 h can treat bacteria with MIC ≤8 μg/mL, while for MIC 8–32 μg/mL, 3 g FDC/12 h is recommended. Lastly, the developed population-PK model was successfully used to predict drug exposure in pediatric population. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess and differentiate wild-caught South Carolina (SC) shrimps from imported shrimps on the basis of microbiological analysis. Seven wild-caught SC shrimp and 13 farm-raised imported shrimp samples were analyzed. Total plate counts from wild-caught shrimp samples ranged from 4.3 to 7.0 log10 CFU/g, whereas counts from imported shrimp samples ranged from 3.2 to 5.7 log10 CFU/g. There was no difference (P > 0.05) between total bacterial counts of wild-caught SC shrimp and farm-raised imported shrimp. However, the percentages of bacteria with reduced susceptibility towards ceftriaxone and tetracycline were higher (P < 0.05) for farm-raised shrimp than for wild-caught samples. Salmonella spp. detected only in one farm-raised sample was resistant to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, streptomycin, and trimethoprim. Vibrio vulnificus was detected in both wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp samples; however, only the isolate from farm-raised shrimp was resistant to nalidixic acid and trimethoprim. Escherichia coli detected in one wild-caught sample was resistant to ampicillin. Both Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp. were absent with wild-caught SC samples. Therefore, the presence of more ceftriaxone- and tetracycline-resistant bacteria and the observed antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of isolates from the imported shrimp may reflect the possible use of antibiotics in raising shrimp in those countries. 相似文献

The drug resistance of microorganisms isolated from laboratory animals never treated with antibiotics is being reported consistently, while the number of laboratory animals used in medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, agriculture, nutrition, and environmental and health science has increased rapidly in Korea. Therefore, this study examined the development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from laboratory animals bred in Korea. A total of 443 isolates (7 species) containing 5 Sphingomonas paucimobilis, 206 Escherichia coli, 60 Staphylococcus aureus, 15 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 77 Enterococcus faecalis, 27 Citrobacter freundii, 35 Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from the nose, intestine, bronchus and reproductive organs of ICR mice and SD rats. Of these species, Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterococcus faecalis showed significant antimicrobial resistance according to the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) in E-test. In case of Acinetobacter baumannii, several isolates showed MIC values 16-128 μg/mL for cefazolin and cefoxitin, and higher resistance (128-512 μg/mL) to nitrofurantoin than that of standard type. Resistance to cefazolin, cefoxitin and nitrofurantoin was detected in 17.14, 20.00, and 8.57% of the Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, respectively. In addition, 44.1% of the Enterococcus faecalis isolates collected from the laboratory animals were resistant to oxacillin concentration of 16-32 μg/mL range, while MIC value of standard type was below oxacillin concentration of 6 μg/mL. These results suggest that in rodent species of laboratory animals, Acinetobacter baumannii are resistance to cefazolin, cefoxitin and nitrofurantoin, whereas those of Enterococcus faecalis were resistance to oxacillin. 相似文献

The concentration and species composition of viableGram-negative bacteria was determined in samples of coniferous wood (Scots pine) and deciduous wood (European beech), and in air samples taken during the processing of these woods in sawmills. The concentration of Gram-negative bacteria in the sapwood of pine logs ranged from 1.0 × 101 to 6.2 × 104 CFU/g. Their concentration in the air of the pine processing sawmill was within a range of 1.0 × 102–6.3 × 102 CFU/m3. Concentration of Gram-negative bacteria in the sapwood of beech logs was similar to that in the sapwood of pine logs, ranging from 1.0 × 101 to 4.6 × 104 CFU/g. However, the concentration of these bacteria in the air of a beech processing sawmill was within a range of 7.8 × 103–1.3 × 104 CFU/m3, being significantly higher than in a pine processing sawmill. Enterobacteriaceae strains, mostly Enterobacter spp. and Rahnella spp., made up 70–75% of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from pine and beech wood and from the air pollutedwith sawdust from these woods. The aerial exposure to Gram-negative bacteria possessing endotoxic andallergenic properties poses potential risk ofoccupational respiratory disorders among sawmillworkers, in particular those processing beech wood. 相似文献

Species of Bacteroides fragilis group bacteria are the most prevalent pathogens and have the highest resistance rates to antimicrobial agents among anaerobic bacteria. Infections due to these micro-organisms often originate from patient's own intestinal microbiota. The objective of the study was to determine and compare the susceptibility profiles of clinical and intestinal B. fragilis and B. thetaiotaomicron strains against certain antimicrobials. Isolates were identified by conventional methods and API-20 A. Susceptibility tests were performed according to recommendations of NCCLS (M 11-A4) agar dilution methods. Beta-lactamase production was determined with nitrocefin discs. Forty-five clinical isolates (33 B. fragilis and 12 B. thetaiotaomicron) were from following sites: blood (n:8), intra-abdominal abscess (n:7), soft tissue (n:26), and miscellaneous foci of infection (n:4). Fifty B. fragilis and 60 B. thetaiotaomicron isolates from intestinal microbiota of individuals with no history of antimicrobial treatment within last 30 days were also examined. Beta-lactamase production was detected in 93% of clinical and 99% of intestinal isolates. The organisms including intestinal isolates were uniformly susceptible to metronidazole. The MIC90s of other antibiotics and resistance rates of all clinical isolates to those antibiotics were as follows: 256 microg/mL (93%) for ampicillin, 128 microg/mL (13%) for piperacillin, 64 microg/mL (11%) for cefoxitin, 1 microg/mL (2%) for amoxicillin-clavulanate, 0.5 microg/mL (2%) for imipenem, >256 microg/mL (36%) for clindamycin, 8 microg/mL (2%) for chloramphenicol. Intestinal isolates demonstrated similar resistance rates and MIC90s. Metronidazole, imipenem, amoxicillin-clavulanate seem to be effective drugs against these bacteria in Turkey. 相似文献

The potential of using an entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis zealandica Poinar, together with different test mulches (pine chips, wheat straw, pine wood shavings, blackwood and apple wood chips) to control diapausing codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) larvae was evaluated. Mesh cages were identified as a suitable larval-containment method. High levels of codling moth mortality were obtained when using pine wood shavings as mulch (88%) compared to pine chips, wheat straw, blackwood and apple wood chips (41–88%). Humidity (>95% RH) has to be maintained for at least 3 days to ensure nematode survival. It was also proven that nematodes had the ability to move out of infected soil into moist mulch, to infect the codling moth larvae residing at heights of up to 10 cm. Field experiments showed the importance of climatic conditions on nematode performance. Low temperatures (<15°C) recorded during the first trial resulted in low levels of control (48%), as opposed to the 67% mortality recorded during the second trial (temperatures ranged between 20 and 25°C). Low levels of persistence (<10%) were recorded in the mulches post-application. The study conclusively illustrated some of the baseline requirements fundamental to the success of entomopathogenic nematodes together with mulches for the control of codling moth. 相似文献

Method for detection and enumeration of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in feces, manures, and soils. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Eight concentration and purification methods were evaluated to determine percentages of recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts from calf feces. The NaCl flotation method generally resulted in the highest percentages of recovery. Based on the percentages of recovery, the amounts of fecal debris in the final oocyst preparations, the relatively short processing time (<3 h), and the low expense, the NaCl flotation method was chosen for further evaluation. Extraction efficiency was evaluated by using oocyst concentrations of 25, 50, 10(2), 10(3), 10(4), and 10(5) oocysts g of bovine feces-1. The percentages of recovery ranged from 10.8% (25 oocysts g-1) to 17.0% (10(4) oocysts g-1) (r2 = 0.996). A conservative estimate of the detection limit for bovine feces is ca. 30 oocysts g of feces-1. Percentages of recovery were determined for six different types of animal feces (cow, horse, pig, sheep, deer, and chicken feces) at a single oocyst concentration (10(4) oocysts g-1). The percentages of recovery were highest for bovine feces (17. 0%) and lowest for chicken feces (3.2%). Percentages of recovery were determined for bovine manure after 3 to 7 days of storage. The percentages of recovery ranged from 1.9 to 3.5% depending on the oocyst concentration, the time of storage, and the dispersing solution. The percentages of oocyst recovery from soils were evaluated by using different flotation solutions (NaCl, cold sucrose, ZnSO4), different dispersing solutions (Triton X-100, Tween 80, Tris plus Tween 80), different dispersion techniques (magnetic stirring, sonication, blending), and different dispersion times (5, 15, and 30 min). Twenty-five-gram soil samples were used to reduce the spatial variability. The highest percentages of recovery were obtained when we used 50 mM Tris-0.5% Tween 80 as the dispersing solution, dispersion for 15 min by stirring, and saturated NaCl as the flotation solution. The percentages of oocyst recovery from freshly spiked sandy loam, silty clay loam, and clay loam soils were ca. 12 to 18, 8, and 6%, respectively. The theoretical detection limits were ca. 1 to 2 oocysts g of soil-1 depending on the soil type. The percentages of recovery without dispersant (distilled H2O or phosphate-buffered saline) were less than 0.1%, which indicated that oocysts adhere to soil particles. The percentages of recovery decreased with storage time, although the addition of dispersant (Tris-Tween 80) before storage appeared to partially prevent adhesion. These data indicate that the NaCl flotation method is suitable for routine detection and enumeration of oocysts from feces, manures, soils, or soil-manure mixtures. 相似文献

单核细胞增生李斯特菌是重要的革兰阳性食源性致病菌。近年来的报道显示出该菌耐受抗生素的能力有不断增强的趋势,为了探讨其耐药机制,对Sigma B(σB,李斯特菌中应对环境胁迫的主要调控因子)在抗生素耐受性中的作用进行了初步研究。检测和比较单核细胞增生李斯特菌标准菌株EGDe和其σB缺失突变菌株EGDeΔsigB对盘尼西林青霉素、氨苄西林青霉素、利福平、硫酸庆大霉素、四环素盐酸和红霉素6种抗生素的最小抑菌浓度(MIC);在测定的MIC的基础上,利用MTT(噻唑蓝活体染色法)法比较EGDe和EGDeΔsigB在1×MIC、2×MIC和8×MIC的氨苄西林青霉素、红霉素和利福平3种抗生素中的生长活性。EGDe对盘尼西林青霉素(0.16μg/mL)、四环素盐酸(0.25μg/mL)和硫酸庆大霉素(0.5μg/mL)的MIC高于EGDeΔsigB(分别为0.08、0.125和0.125μg/mL);而对氨苄西林青霉素、红霉素和利福平的MIC 2种菌株没有差别,分别为0.19、0.125和0.032μg/mL;与EGDe相比,EGDeΔsigB在氨苄西林青霉素、红霉素和利福平培养基中的生长活性较差,对抗生素的抑制更为敏感,而且随着这3种抗生素浓度的增加,其抑制程度也随之增强。Sigma B在单核细胞增生李斯特菌对抗生素的耐受中起到重要调节作用。 相似文献

A collaborative study involving seven laboratories was undertaken to evaluate the reproducibility and the reliability of the broth disk elution test against anaerobic bacteria by comparing with the reference agar dilution method. A two breakpoint broth test was also evaluated. Assays were performed using the same testing conditions (i.e. medium, temperature, atmosphere and incubation time). One hundred Gram-negative and Gram-positive clinical isolates were initially studied. Overall agreement of 98.5% and 97.5%, were found for disk elution and the two breakpoint tests, respectively. In order to assess the reliability of the disk elution test, two different lots (LOT1 and LOT2) of disks of piperacillin and clindamycin were selected, to obtain two final concentrations after dilution (10 and 60 mg/mL; 1 and 4 mg/mL, respectively). Two hundred and eighty assays were performed against one strain of both Bacteroides fragilis(piperacillin MIC, 8.0 mg/mL; clindamycin MIC, <0.5 mg/mL) and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron(piperacillin MIC, 16.0 mg/mL; clindamycin MIC, <0.5 mg/mL). With LOT 1, considering both species and both antibiotics, the agreement among six laboratories ranged from 85% to 100% (P > 0.05) with the higher concentration. Overall agreement among all laboratories was 91%. No optimal agreement (>90%) for clindamycin-Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron using the LOT1 (77%) was found. Since this finding was not observed with LOT2 (100% agreement), discrepancies were attributed to variation between lots. Overall agreement with LOT2 was 100% for all centres. The present study indicates that the broth disk elution method proved to be a reliable and suitable alternative for routine susceptibility testing for anaerobic bacteria, as a resistance screening method for clinical purposes. 相似文献

Experimental bedding materials and a novel delivery method of cyromazine (Larvadex) were evaluated as replicated treatments in outdoor calf hutches for effect on the density of immature Musca domestica L. and Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). In 6-wk trials, overall density of Musca domestica L. and Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) in straw bedding averaged 36.2 and 52.6 maggots/liter, respectively, compared with respective average densities of 9.0 and 16.2 for wood chips and 10.4 and 20.0 for wood chips over a hydraulic fabric filter system. These values represent average reductions of 80 and 69% and 77 and 68%, respectively. Densities of M. domestica and S. calcitrans in ground corncob over the filter system averaged 13.3 and 4.1 maggots/liter in 3.2-mm size corncob particles, and 1.7 and 1.2 for 6.4-mm size corncob particles (average reductions of 62 and 87% and 90 and 96%, respectively) relative to straw bedding. Densities of these two species in sand bedding averaged 2.8 and 0.4 maggots/liter (average reductions of 93 and 99%), but sand became compacted and soiled with calf urine and feces after several weeks. Cyromazine excreted in calf urine limited density of both species in straw to an average of 11.0 and 15.6 maggots/liter, respectively (a 58 and 79% suppression relative to untreated straw). These data confirm that straw bedding promotes muscoid maggot growth and illustrate that alternative calf hutch bedding systems and urine delivery of cyromazine may improve muscoid fly management on dairy farms by limiting the development of muscoid maggots. 相似文献

We studied the effect of five bedding materials (wood shavings, sawdust, peanut hulls, wheat straw and shredded paper) and PLTtrade mark (a commercial formulation of Na bisulfate) in factorial combinations, on NH(3) emissions from broiler manure. Treatments were incubated for 11 days at 25 degrees C and 98% relative humidity. Ammonia was trapped in 0.1N H(2)SO(4) and measured colorimetrically as NH(4)(+), and CO(2) was monitored with an infrared analyzer. Ammonia and CO(2) emissions were suppressed by PLT throughout the study. Wheat straw, wood shavings, and sawdust, with C(total)/N(total)>50 or C(biodegradable)/N>20, had low NH(3) emissions. Total NH(3) emissions from peanut hulls and shredded paper were the highest, probably due to peanut hulls' low C/N ratio and shredded paper's alkaline pH. No significant interactions on NH(3) emissions were detected between PLT and bedding materials. 相似文献

The in vitro activities of meropenem and imipenem were compared against 154 clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria representing 23 species of 10 genera. The NCCLS-recommended agar dilution method with Brucella agar from the Wadsworth Anaerobic Laboratory was used. Meropenem proved to be more active than imipenem with an MIC range of ≤0.125–4 μg/mL, MIC50=0.25 μg/mL, MIC90=1 μg/mL with 100% of strains susceptible at the breakpoint=4 μg/mL. Imipenem showed a lower activity with an MIC range of ≤0.125 to 16 μg/mL, MIC50of 2 μg/mL and MIC90of 4 μg/mL with 10% of the strains not inhibited at this concentration. Ninety-six per cent were susceptible at 8 μg/mL and 100% at 16 μg/mL. The MIC of both antibiotics (especially of imipenem) were higher for the Bacteroides fragilis group than for the rest of the Gram-negative organism higher still than the Gram-positive anaerobes. 相似文献

Many confined-livestock farms store their wastes for several months prior to use as a fertilizer. Storing manure for extended periods could significantly bias the composition of enteric bacterial populations subsequently released into the environment. Here, we compared populations of Escherichia coli isolated from fresh feces and from the manure-holding tank (stored manure) of a commercial swine farm, each sampled monthly for 6 months. The 4,668 confirmed E. coli isolates were evaluated for resistance to amikacin, ampicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, trimethoprim, and trimethoprim plus sulfamethoxazole. A subset of 1,687 isolates was fingerprinted by repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (rep-PCR) with the BOXA1R primer to evaluate the diversity and the population structure of the collection. The population in the stored manure was generally more diverse than that in the fresh feces. Half of the genotypes detected in the stored manure were never detected in the fresh fecal material, and only 16% were detected only in the fresh feces. But the majority of the isolates (84%) were assigned to the 34% of genotypes shared between the two environments. The structure of the E. coli population showed important monthly variations both in the extent and distribution of the diversity of the observed genotypes. The frequency of detection of resistance to specific antibiotics was not significantly different between the two collections and varied importantly between monthly samples. Resistance to multiple antibiotics was much more temporally dynamic in the fresh feces than in the stored manure. There was no relationship between the distribution of rep-PCR fingerprints and the distribution of antibiotic resistance profiles, suggesting that specific antibiotic resistance determinants were dynamically distributed within the population. 相似文献

Polluted water samples collected from the River Tigris in the vicinity of a raw sewage outfall were examined for the incidence of antibiotic resistance among coli-form bacteria on three occasions during 1983. Eighty percent or more of the coli-form bacteria were resistant to one or more antibiotics. At the same time, raw sewage samples were examined for the incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and Escherchia coli, Pseudomonas spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were selected for sensitivity testing. Collectively, more than 90% of the 480 strains of the three organisms were resistant to one or more antibiotics. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ampicillin for twenty-nine strains including coliforms, E. coli, Klebsiella sp., Serratia sp., Ps. aeruginosa, Pseudomonas sp., Micrococcus sp., Staph. aureus, Streptococcus faecalis and Bacillus sp. from raw sewage and polluted River Tigris water was determined and that for Ps. aeruginosa was 250 μg/ml. The high incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in natural waters could be related to the widespread use of antibiotics in this locality. 相似文献

考察没食子酸等6种中药单体和诺氟沙星等3种抗生素对嗜水气单胞菌及温和气单胞菌的体外抑菌活性及其联合抑菌作用。通过琼脂扩散法测定受试物的抑菌作用,用微量二倍稀释法测定受试物最小抑菌浓度(MIC)和最小杀菌浓度(MBC),用棋盘法考察受试物的联合抑菌作用。6种中药单体中没食子酸和槲皮素对嗜水气单胞菌及温和气单胞菌抑制作用较强,抑菌圈均达到20 mm以上,没食子酸对嗜水气单胞菌及温和气单胞菌的MIC和MBC均为250 g/mL;槲皮素对嗜水气单胞菌的MIC和MBC均为500 g/mL,对温和气单胞菌的MIC和MBC分别为250和500 g/mL;而大黄素甲醚等4种中药单体无明显的抑菌作用。嗜水气单胞菌及温和气单胞菌对诺氟沙星、恩诺沙星、氟苯尼考等抗生素均极敏感。在联合药敏试验中,没食子酸与恩诺沙星或氟苯尼考、槲皮素与氟苯尼考联合用药对嗜水气单胞菌具有相加抑菌作用;没食子酸与恩诺沙星联合用药对温和气单胞菌具有协同抑菌作用,没食子酸与诺氟沙星或氟苯尼考、槲皮素与氟苯尼考联合用药对温和气单胞菌具有相加抑菌作用。没食子酸和槲皮素对嗜水气单胞菌及温和气单胞菌具有显著的抑制作用,二者与恩诺沙星、诺氟沙星、氟苯尼考等抗生素联合应用具有相加或协同作用,有助于降低抗生素的用量及残留。
