Resistance of 159 strains of opportunistic enterobacteria to 9 antibacterial drugs was studied. The strains were isolated from man and cattle. It was shown that the overwhelming majority of the isolates (93 per cent) were polyresistant irrespective of the genus. There was a high frequency of the strains resistant to the widely used antibiotics such as chloramphenicol (73 per cent), ampicillin (73.6 per cent) and rifampicin (95.6 per cent) and sulfanilamides (99.3 per cent). Gentamicin and nalidixic acid proved to be the most active against the cultures: 11.9 and 10 per cent of the resistant strains, respectively. The strains of enterobacteria isolated from different sources had a sensitivity to the antibiotics. Multiple antibiotic resistance to at least 5 drugs, variability of the spectra and high resistance were more characteristic of the isolates from the animals. The necessity of a rational use of antibacterial drugs in veterinary is indicated. 相似文献

Forty strains of S. dysenteriae 1 isolated in the USSR within 1986-1988 were tested for their resistance to 11 antibacterial drugs. It was shown that 92.5-97.5 per cent of the isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol (Cm) and tetracycline (Tc), 22.5 per cent to streptomycin (Sm), 17.5 per cent to nalidixic acid (Nal) and 10 per cent to ampicillin (Ap) and polymyxin (Pm). Resistance to Cm Tc (51.4 per cent) and Cm Tc Nal (13.5 per cent) represented the predominating phenotype. 35 per cent of the strains carried conjugative R plasmids. In the majority of the cases, the determinants of resistance to Cm and Tc were transferred, which must define the high frequency of the strains resistant to Cm and Tc. All the tested strains were sensitive to gentamicin, neomycin, rifampicin, cefamezin and ciprofloxacin. Since the strains of S. dysenteriae 1 proved to be highly sensitive to the tested drugs it appeared possible to consider them as the drugs of choice in etiotropic therapy of patients with dysentery caused by the pathogens of the Grigoryev-Shiga group. 相似文献

The effect of polyenic antibiotics, such as nystatin, levorin, amphotericin B and mycoheptin on 93 representatives of various species of the ray fungi was studied. It was shown that resistance of the actinomycetes to the polyens was connected with the absence or insufficient content of sterols (0.001--0.008 per cent in the dry mycelium). On addition of cholesterol to the nutrient media (100 microgram/ml) it was included into the membranes of some cultures and their sensitivity increased 2--60 times. Resistance of Actinomyces sp. LIA 0775 grown on the media with fats differing in their composition decreased 2--4 times. In these cases the culture lipids were characterized by lower content of phospholipids (35--45 per cent from the total lipids as compared to 70--80 per cent when grown on the control medium without fats) and significantly increased content of unsaturated fatty acids (3--4 times). 相似文献

Two thousand three hundred and seventy strains of Shigella dysenteriae, Sh flexneri, and Sh boydii isolated in England and Wales from 1974 to 1978 were tested for resistance to 12 antimicrobial drugs. Eighty per cent of strains were resistant to one or more drugs, with sulphonamide resistance occurring most frequently. Resistance to streptomycin, tetracycline, ampicillin, and chloramphenicol increased during the period, as did the incidence of multiple resistance. Most infections due to Sh dysenteriae, Sh flexneri, and Sh boydii are acquired abroad, and the increasing incidence of drug resistance among these organisms contrasts with the decreasing incidence of resistance among the indigenous Sh sonnei. These findings may indicate the need for better control of antibiotic use, particularly in developing countries. 相似文献

In the study on antibiotic resistance 1383 strains of El Tor Vibrio cholerae isolated from surface water reservoirs in 12 administrative territories of the Siberia and Far East within a period of 15 years were tested. The following antibiotics were used: ampicillin, streptomycin, monomycin, polymyxin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, rifampicin and nalidixic acid. The resistance was unstable and its pattern was wave-like according to annual changes in the biological cycle. It was especially evident in regard to ampicillin, streptomycin, monomycin and polymyxin. The highest numbers of the strains were resistant to polymyxin, ampicillin and streptomycin (up to 100 per cent in some years). The lowest numbers of the strains were resistant to chloramphenicol (0.4 per cent) and tetracycline (1.9 per cent). No strains resistant to rifampicin and nalidixic acid were isolated. In some cases the antibiotic resistance level depended on the geographical zone where the strain was isolated. A direct quantitative dependence of the resistance level on the MIC was observed: the lower the MIC of the drug was, the lower the number of the strains resistant to it was. Within the 15-year period there was no general tendency to increase the resistance in V. cholerae to the antibiotics used. 相似文献

Activity of levofloxacin (Tavanic) against 10 species of nontuberculosis of mycobacteria was investigated by indirect method of absolute concentrations on Levenstain-Jensen media (levofloxacin concentration 5 and mcg/mL). The investigation was performed on 71 strains of nontubercolosis mycobacteria: Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare--24 strains, M. fortuitum--17 strains, M. chelonae--10 strains, M. malmoense--13 strains and 6 other species of mycobacteria. Susceptible to critical levofloxacin concentration were 8 species of 10. Resistance to levofloxacin (10 mcg/mL) was estimated for 16.7 per cent of M. avium-intracellulare and 30 per cent of M. chelonei strains. It is concluded that levofloxacin may be a drug of choice for management of mycobacteriosis caused by M. fortuitum, M. kansasii, M. xenopi, M. malmoense, and in the most of cases due to M. avium-intracellulare and M. chelonae. 相似文献

The patients with infected wounds of the extremities were treated with kanamycin electrophoresis in combination with chlorhexidine bigluconate, an antiseptic. As compared to the patients treated with kanamycin alone, the rate of the wound size decrease in such patients was 2 times higher. The levels of microbial contamination in these patients were much lower. The contamination level with the aerobic flora was 4.8 times lower, including staphylococci, the level of contamination with which was 5.9 times lower. The contamination level with the kanamycin-resistant bacteria was 22 times lower. The treatment with kanamycin alone resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in the number of the antibiotic-resistant variants in the microbial populations of the wounds. In 48.2 per cent of the patients, this was accompanied by development of resistance to kanamycin in the whole microbial population of the wound. The development of the kanamycin resistance in the staphylococcal populations of 18.1 per cent of the patients was associated with changed sensitivity of the initial strains and in 81.9 per cent of the patients, with superinfection by the resistant strains. No changes in the kanamycin sensitivity of the initial gram-negative organisms during the treatment were observed. The use of chlorhexidine bigluconate, as a biologically active substance in combination with kanamycin potentiated the action of the antibiotic, prevented development and accumulation of the antibiotic-resistant variants in the microbial populations of the wounds and development of the drug resistance in these populations. 相似文献

494 persons with various purulent inflammatory diseases were examined. Gram-negative nitrofuran resistant organisms isolated from the clinical material were found in 22.9 per cent of the cases. Representatives of Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia (26.8 per cent), Proteus-Providencia (16.8 per cent) and E. coli-Arizona-Citrobacter (16.1 per cent) predominated. Pseudomonas (32.1 per cent) and Acinetobacter (5.3 per cent) predominated among the aerobic gram-negative bacteria. Sensitivity of 131 strains to 10 chemotherapeutic drugs was determined. 60.4 per cent of the aerobic and 44.2 per cent of the Coli bacteria had multiple drug resistance (to 5 and more drugs). The organisms isolated from the urine and wound excretion were most resistant. Representatives of Pseudomonas and Klebsiella-Enterobacter predominated among the polyresistant cultures. High sensitivity of the isolates to gentamicin, carbenicillin and nalidixic acid was noted. 相似文献

Resistance of 1280 strains of Salmonella of various serological types isolated in the Zakarpatskaya region within 1967-1976 was studied with respect to benzylpenicillin, streptomycin tetracycline, levomycetin, monomycin, neomycin, erythromycin and oleandomycin. An Increase in the resistance of Salmonella to streptomycin, tetracycline, levomycetin, monomycin and neomycin was shown. During the last years Salmonellae carrying 4-8 resistance determinants were spreading in the region. Among S. typhimurium strains with 7-8 resistance determinants predominated (58.8 per cent). The cases of salmonollosis were mainly due to these strains. 相似文献

Resistance of 2345 strains of plasmocoagulating staphylococci isolated from purulent inflammatory foci of surgical patients was studied with respect to the widely used antibiotics by the method of standard paper discs in 1970--1975. It was noted that the cultures resistant to erythromycin and monomycin were more frequent, i.e. from 24.2 +/- 2.5 to 51.4 +/- 3.4 per cent and from 1.0 +/- 0.6 to 28.0 +/- 2.1 per cent respectively, p less than 0.001 in both cases, while the percentage of the strains resistant to benzylpenicillin and tetracycline steadily increased, i.e. from 69.9 +/- 2.4 to 47.0 +/- 2.3 per cent and from 72.8 +/- 2.4 to 28.4 +/- 2.1 per cent respectively, p less than 0.001 in both cases. The number of the resistant cultures to streptomycin and levomycetin slightly changed and was relatively high (about 50 per cent and more). Direct correlation (mean and pronounced) between the amount of levomycetin, tetracycline, erythromycin or monomycin used per citizen of Minsk and the frequency of the strains isolated from the patients to these drugs was noted. 相似文献

Resistance to warfarin and an increased vitamin K requirement appear to be pleiotropic effects of the same allele (Rw2). In a natural population containing resistant individuals where the use of warfarin is discouraged the change in the frequency of resistance should reflect the relative fitnesses of the three possible genotypes. A large polymorphic population of rats was extensively poisoned with warfarin and the level of resistance monitored regularly for a period of 18 months after withdrawal of the poison. During this period the proportion of resistant animals in live-capture samples decreased significantly from approximately 80 per cent to 33 per cent. This decline is consistent with a hypothesis of reduced fitness of both Rw2Rw2 and Rw1Rw2 genotypes relative to Rw1Rw1 under natural conditions. The relative fitnesses of these genotypes were calculated using an optimisation method based on least squares analysis. These estimates were: Rw2Rw2 (0.46), Rw1Rw2 (0.77) and Rw1Rw1 (1.00). Homozygous resistant individuals were found in some of the samples, confirming that the Rw2 allele does not act as a recessive lethal, although it must be extremely disadvantageous. Some heterogeneity was observed in the proportion of resistant animals in samples taken from different areas of the farm building complex. This could reflect stochastic processes influencing the Rw2 allele frequency in small peripheral populations. 相似文献

A field strain of Haemonchus contortus isolated from sheep at Armidale N.S.W., was found to be resistant to thiabendazole with approximately 20 per cent of the worms surviving a 50 mg/kg dose. The isolate was selected over six generations for resistance to 50 mg/kg thiabendazole. After this time, selection on one line was continued at 50 mg/kg thiabendazole and selection on a second line was extended to include 8·8 mg/kg morantel tartrate. A drug tolerance assay on the third generation of the thiabendazole-morantel tartrate selected line showed the ld5o to be 5·3 mg/kg and the ld95 to be 18 mg/kg morantel tartrate; the reported ld50 and ld95 for non-resistant strains of H. contortus to morantel tartrate are 2·5 mg/kg and 8 mg/kg respectively. In the fourth generation the thiabendazole and the thiabendazole-morantel tartrate selected lines together with a recently isolated field strain were assayed for resistance to thiabendazole, morantel tartrate and levamisole. The results indicated that the resistance to thiabendazole was probably due to a single gene. Both selected lines were more resistant to thiabendazole than the field strain. The thiabendazole-morantel tartrate selected line was more resistant to morantel tartrate than either of the other two. Resistance to morantel tartrate appeared to be polygenic in nature and due to increased vigour. The lowest dose of levamisole (1·6 mg/kg) killed more than 95 per cent of all strains of worms. There was no significant increase in effectiveness at higher dose rates indicating that surviving worms were resistant to the drug. 相似文献

Sodium nucleinate significantly increased the non-specific resistance of mice to E. coli O26, Ps. vulgaris, Ser. marcesens, Ps. aeruginosa, Kl. ozaenae and their associations and total resistance also accompanied by a significant decrease in the number of the bacteria in the spleen and blood, the total number of the cells in the peritoneal exudate and the number of the cells adhering to the glass (macrophages). The preparation is a low molecular RNA consisting mainly of fraction 3S and a small amount of fraction 4S. It contains 1.5 per cent of protein and 2 per cent of DNA and does not contain any polysaccharides. Repeated purification of sodium nucleinate lowering the levels of the admixtures 5 times did not change its efficacy. The low molecular RNA of the rat liver (4S) had a pronounced stimulating activity. On infection of the host stimulated with sodium nucleinate, formation of the post-infection immunity was not decreased. 相似文献

Tissues resistant to lethal levels of equimolar L-lysine plus L-threonine (LT), 5-methyl-DL-tryptophan (5MT, a tryptophan analog), or S-2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine (AEC, a lysine analog) were selected from maize callus capable of plant regeneration (H99 and W77-R3019 genotypes).Resistance to LT resulted from resistant calli having a 19 times greater level of free threonine than wild type tissues. The resistance was expressed in roots of whole plants; threonine levels were two to nine times greater in leaves and kernels of resistant plants than in wild type plants. Slightly greater levels of isoleucine, lysine and methionine were also noted, particularly in the kernel. Genetic studies with individual resistant plants did not always produce inheritance ratios typical of simple Mendelian inheritance, but by the third generation after plant regeneration a trend towards homozygosity was apparent and the data suggests that LT resistance is inherited as a single dominant nuclear gene.Resistance to 5MT resulted from resistant calli having a 133 to 161 times greater level of free tryptophan than wild type tissues. Also, phenylalanine was 22 to 30 times as great and histidine, tyrosine and valine were about two times as great as in wild type tissues. Resistance was expressed in roots of whole plants, and tryptophan levels were at least 2000 times greater in resistant than in wild type plants. Phenylalanine was also 32 times greater. All regenerant plants resistant to 5MT were both male and female sterile.Resistance to AFC was caused by decreased AEC uptake by the callus tissue and was not due to increased levels of free lysine. Plants were not regenerated from this callus. 相似文献

Changes in strength, body composition and anthropometric measures for groups training with constant resistance and variable resistance training procedures was compared. Thirty-six male volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Constant Resistance (CR), Variable Resistance (VR) and Control (C). Strength training was conducted 3 days per week, 45 min per day, for 10 weeks. The results demonstrated that both the CR and the VR groups increased muscular strength. The CR group demonstrated significant increases in strength over the VR group when strength was assessed by CR procedures. Conversely, the VR group demonstrated significant increases in strength over the CR group when strength was assessed by VR procedures. Neither group exhibited superiority over the other relative to changes in body composition and anthropometric measures. The significance of these results is discussed. 相似文献

Effects of resistance and aerobic training on the ease of physical activity during and after weight loss are unknown. The purpose of the study was to determine what effect weight loss combined with either aerobic or resistance training has on the ease of locomotion (net V[Combining Dot Above]O2 and heart rate). It is hypothesized that exercise training will result in an increased ease, lowers heart rate during locomotion. Seventy-three overweight premenopausal women were assigned to diet and aerobic training, diet and resistance training, or diet only. Subjects were evaluated while overweight, after diet-induced weight loss (average, 12.5 kg loss), and 1 year after weight loss (5.5 kg regain). Submaximal walking, grade walking, stair climbing, and bike oxygen uptake and heart rate were measured at all time points. Weight loss diet was 800 kcal per day. Exercisers trained 3 times per week during weight loss and 2 times per week during 1-year follow-up. Resistance training increased strength, and aerobic training increased maximum oxygen uptake. Net submaximal oxygen uptake was not affected by weight loss or exercise training. However, heart rate during walking, stair climbing, and bicycling was reduced after weight loss. No significant differences in reduction in heart rate were observed among the 3 treatment groups for locomotion after weight loss. However, during 1-year follow-up, exercise training resulted in maintenance of lower submaximal heart rate, whereas nonexercisers increased heart rate during locomotion. Results suggest that moderately intense exercise is helpful in improving the ease of movement after weight loss. Exercise training may be helpful in increasing the participation in free-living physical activity. 相似文献

Widespread resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is one of the biggest challenges facing human health and the agricultural industry, with resistance to all current anthelmintics now recorded and few new agents or vaccines available. Understanding the development of drug resistance in parasitic nematodes is critical to prolonging the efficacy of current anthelmintics, developing markers for monitoring drug resistance and is beneficial in the design of new chemotherapeutic agents or targets. This study describes the development of ivermectin-resistant strains of the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans through step-wise exposure to increasing doses of ivermectin commencing with a non-toxic dose of 1 ng/ml. Resistant strains were developed that displayed a multidrug resistance phenotype with cross-resistance to the related drug moxidectin and to other anthelmintics, levamisole and pyrantel, but not albendazole. Resistance was associated with increased expression of the multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) and P-glycoproteins. Resistance to ivermectin was reversible by the co-administration of MRP, P-glycoprotein and glutathione biosynthesis inhibitors, confirming the involvement of these proteins in resistance. In our model, resistance to low levels of ivermectin (相似文献

The development of resistance by the Houghton strain of Eimeria tenella to the anticoccidial drugs amprolium, clopidol and methyl benzoquate has been studied. Resistance to amprolium and clopidol developed more readily in experiments where a large number of coccidia were exposed to the drug, either by increasing the number of oocysts in the inoculum or by increasing the number of birds in the group. When 45 birds were given 2.0 X 10(6) oocysts, resistance to amprolium and clopidol appeared after 6 and 7 passages respectively. In previous experiments, under similar conditions, resistance to robenidine developed after 6 passages, suggesting little difference between these three drugs. Resistance to amprolium and clopidol arose gradually as the concentration of drug was increased, but resistance to methyl benzoquate appeared in a single step from sensitivity to high-level resistance. Both amprolium and clopidol-resistant lines showed an 8-fold reduction in drug sensitivity. Attempts to measure the degree of resistance by calculation of the ED50 were unsuccessful. 相似文献

Multidrug resistance (MDR) refers to a complex phenotype that describes a number of features characterized primarily by resistance to a wide range of structurally unrelated drugs. In this paper we investigated the relationship between drug resistance and resistance to NK-mediated cytotoxicity. Studies with two independently selected multidrug-resistant cell lines indicated that increased drug resistance was associated with both an increased resistance to NK-mediated cytotoxicity and increased levels of membrane P-glycoprotein expression. This resistance to cytotoxicity appears to result partly from an alteration in the membrane structure of the target cells inasmuch as there was a reduction in effector:target cell recognition. Resistance to NK-mediated cytotoxicity should be included with the numerous pleiotropic changes associated with the multidrug resistance phenotype. 相似文献

Reactive nitrogen (Nr) is removed by surface fluxes (air–surface exchange) and wet deposition. The chemistry and physics of the atmosphere result in a complicated system in which competing chemical sources and sinks exist and impact that removal. Therefore, uncertainties are best examined with complete regional chemical transport models that simulate these feedbacks. We analysed several uncertainties in regional air quality model resistance analogue representations of air–surface exchange for unidirectional and bi-directional fluxes and their effect on the continental Nr budget. Model sensitivity tests of key parameters in dry deposition formulations showed that uncertainty estimates of continental total nitrogen deposition are surprisingly small, 5 per cent or less, owing to feedbacks in the chemistry and rebalancing among removal pathways. The largest uncertainties (5%) occur with the change from a unidirectional to a bi-directional NH3 formulation followed by uncertainties in bi-directional compensation points (1–4%) and unidirectional aerodynamic resistance (2%). Uncertainties have a greater effect at the local scale. Between unidirectional and bi-directional formulations, single grid cell changes can be up to 50 per cent, whereas 84 per cent of the cells have changes less than 30 per cent. For uncertainties within either formulation, single grid cell change can be up to 20 per cent, but for 90 per cent of the cells changes are less than 10 per cent. 相似文献
