A comparative study was done on the transfer frequency of R factors from 90 strains of multiple drug-resistant Aerobacter and 81 strains of Klebsiella to Escherichia coli CSH-2 (F(-), met(-), pro(-), Nal-r). The most common resistance patterns for the Aerobacter isolants were ampicillin streptomycin chloramphenicol tetracycline and ampicillin streptomycin chloramphenicol tetracycline kanamycin neomycin; for the Klebsiella isolants, the most common resistance pattern was ampicillin kanamycin streptomycin tetracycline chloramphenicol neomycin. R factors were isolated from 14.1% of the Aerobacter strains; 61.5% of these R factors harbored R determinants for ampicillin streptomycin tetracycline. R factors were isolated from 79.1% of the Klebsiella strains; four R factors were isolated with significant frequency; streptomycin chloramphenicol kanamycin neomycin, 37.5%; ampicillin streptomycin tetracycline kanamycin neomycin, 14.1%; ampicillin streptomycin tetracycline, 12.5%; and streptomycin chloramphenicol tetracycline, 12.5%.Chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and neomycin resistance was rarely transferred from the Aerobacter strains, although over 50% of the clinical isolants possessed resistance to these antibiotics. In contrast, over 75% of the Klebsiella strains transferred resistance to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, neomycin. Highest frequency of transferred resistance to individual drugs in the Aerobacter strains was to streptomycin (14.8%), whereas in the Klebsiella group resistance to four drugs was transferred at a very high frequency: streptomycin (80.8%), chloramphenicol (78.5%), kanamycin (76.4%), and neomycin (75.9%).  相似文献

A total of 48 strains of the soil bacterium Rhizobium japonicum were screened for their response to several widely used antibiotics. Over 60% of the strains were resistant to chloramphenicol, polymyxin B, and erythromycin, and 47% or more of the strains were resistant to neomycin and penicillin G, when tested by disk assay procedures. The most common grouping of resistances in strains was simultaneous resistance to tetracycline, penicillin G, neomycin, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin (25% of all strains tested). The occurrence of multiple drug resistance in a soil bacterium that is not a vertebrate pathogen suggests that chemotherapeutic use of antibiotics is not required for the development of multiple drug resistance.  相似文献

Faecal samples from 95 healthy pigs and samples of jejunal content from 85 piglets suffering from colienterotoxaemia were tested for the presence of drug resistant E. coli strains. Practically all pigs in both groups harboured E. coli strains resistant to one or more of the 6 antibiotics/chemotherapeutic agents tested (Oxytetracycline, streptomycin, sulphaisodimidin, neomycin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol). Almost 100% of healthy and approx. 90% of diseased pigs harboured strains resistant to Oxytetracycline, streptomycin and sulphaisodimidin. Pigs with strains resistant to neomycin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol were less frequently found. The predominant coliform flora consisted of E. coli strains” resistant to Oxytetracycline, streptomycin and sulphaisodimidin in 71% to 81% of diseased pigs and in 47% to 69% of the healthy pigs. In diseased pigs ¾ of the animals had a coliform flora dominated by neomycinresistant E. coli strains. Of the 721 resistant E. coli strains isolated from healthy pigs, 11% were single resistant while the corresponding figure for the 518 resistant strains isolated from diseased pigs was 6%. Thus 89% and 94% of strains showed simultaneous resistance to 2 or more antibiotics. E. coli strains resistant to 3 or more drugs were found in approx. 60% and 70% of the isolates from healthy and diseased animals, respectively. Oxytetracycline/streptomycin/sulphaisodimidin resistance was most commonly found, approx. 22% and 38% of the strains from healthy and diseased pigs, respectively, showing this resistance pattern. Transmission of drug resistance which was examined in E. coli strains originating from the diseased pigs was demonstrated in approx. 76% of the isolates. The incidence of drug resistance transfer in single, double, triple and quadruple resistant strains was 11%, 68%, 97% and 98%, respectively.  相似文献

Shigella were most sensitive to polymyxin ceporin, ampicillin, neomycin and furazolidone and resistant to chloramphenicol, tetracycline and streptomycin. Shigella resistant simultaneously to two or three drugs mainly to tetracycline + chloramphenicol, tetracycline + streptomycin and tetracycline + chloramphenicol + streptomycin were most frequent. The frequency of the Shigella strains carrying R-plasmids increased from 28 per cent in 1969--1970 to 72.6 per cent in 1977. The Shigella strains isolated during the dysentery outbreak in 1973--1977 carried the R-factor controlling resistance to tetracycline + chloramphenicol, tetracycline + chloramphenicol + streptomycin, tetracycline + chloramphenicol + streptomycin + neomycin. Interaction between separate biochemical types, colicinogenicity and drug resistance classes was found in the Shigella isolates. The data on the effect of antibiotic (tetracyclines) intensive use in stock-raising defining wide spread of the R-plasmids controlling resistance to these drugs were obtained.  相似文献

AIMS: The objective of the present study was to determine the resistance patterns of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from different sources in Switzerland during the period 1997-99 as an epidemiological marker. METHODS AND RESULTS: The disk diffusion method was used to test 82 non-O157 STEC strains for susceptibility to 13 antibiotics. Ten strains were resistant to one and 20 strains to two and more antibiotics. The most frequent resistance types were streptomycin (14 strains), cephalothin (14 strains), sulfamethoxazole (14 strains) and tetracycline (14 strains). Three O100:H- STEC strains isolated from healthy slaughter pigs were resistant to eight antibiotics: streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, tetracycline, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, neomycin and gentamicin. CONCLUSION: Periodic surveillance of the antibiotic susceptibilities would be an important measure in detecting emergence and spread of resistance. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Antibiotic susceptibility testing can be a useful tool for typing strains and should be used in combination with other phenotypic and genotypic methods.  相似文献

The antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella Enteritidis (n = 79) isolated from foods involved in human salmonellosis outbreaks in Southern Brazil during the period of 2001 to 2002 was analysed. The isolates were individually tested using the disc diffusion method against 10 antimicrobial agents. Most isolates were susceptible to all drugs tested. No S. Enteritidis isolates were resistant to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim or sulfazotrim and only one was resistant to chloramphenicol. The predominant resistance observed was to nalidixic acid (21.5%), gentamicin (12.7%), and streptomycin (11.4%), while intermediate resistance was observed most often for kanamycin (29.1%), neomycin (17.7%), and streptomycin (13.9%). Resistance was verified in 30 isolates (30.97%) grouped in 14 different patterns. Resistance to more than one agent was verified in 13 (16.46%) of the isolates. Two isolates were resistant to four drugs and only one strain presented resistance to three antibiotics.  相似文献

Three cell lines with improved resistance to growth inhibitionby chloramphenicol were selected from cell cultures of Nicotianasylvestris. Resistance was retained in callus cultures of twoout of three plants regenerated from one of the lines, but notin cultures of plants regenerated from the other two lines.Sexual progeny of the two resistant plants were either sensitiveor showed slow segregation for chloramphenicol resistance. Incallus from only two of the seedlings was inheritance of chloramphenicolresistance clearly demonstrated. Nicotiana sylvestris, cell culture, choramphenicol resistance  相似文献

Bacteriological analysis of sputum of 598 children with acute pneumonia was performed. Sensivity of 1348 cultures belonging to 8 bacterial species with respect to benzylpenicillin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, erythromycin, oleandomycin, neomycin and monomycin was determined. It was shown that the sputum microflora was often resistant to the antibiotics widely used in the medical practice for prolonged periods of time, such as benzylpenicillin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracyclines. However, it usually remained sunsitive to neomycin, monomycin, erythromycin and oleandomycin. It was found that antibioticogrammes defining the antibiotic choice were of great significance for therapy of acute pneumonia.  相似文献

Total coliforms and total coliforms resistant to streptomycin, tetracycline, or chloramphenicol were isolated from filtered activated sludge effluents before and after UV light irradiation. Although the UV irradiation effectively disinfected the wastewater effluent, the percentage of the total surviving coliform population resistant to tetracycline or chloramphenicol was significantly higher than the percentage of the total coliform population resistant to those antibiotics before UV irradiation. This finding was attributed to the mechanism of R-factor-mediated resistance to tetracycline. No significant difference was noted for the percentage of the surviving total coliform population resistant to streptomycin before or after UV irradiation. Multiple drug resistance patterns of 300 total coliform isolates revealed that 82% were resistant to two or more antibiotics. Furthermore, 46% of these isolates were capable of transferring antibiotic resistance to a sensitive strain of Escherichia coli.  相似文献

Summary The alga Phormidium mucicola was found quite sensitive to antibiotics. Several strains resistant to streptomycin and penicillin were isolated following single and several contacts of antibiotics respectively. The resistant character remained stable during subcultures in drug-free medium. However, to isolate a fully stable and resistant strain of a concentration of penicillin two additional exposures to the same dose were required, unless otherwise, resistance was gradually lost during subcultures in penicillin-free media. This observation has been attributed to the heterogeneous nature of the resistant clones. Neither streptomycin nor penicillin resistant strains revealed cross-resistance to ultraviolet (u.v.) or to themselves.  相似文献

Mutant strains resistant to neomycin or to kanamycin sulfate were isolated from Escherichia coli K-12. Nine mutants were analyzed; all were resistant to both antibiotics (about 150 and 100 mug/ml, respectively), and were designated nek. In the mutant strains, the ribosomes are changed from those of the parental strain; for when they were used in assays for polypeptide formation directed by polyadenylic acid or polycytidylic acid, coding fidelity in presence of the drugs was increased and inhibition of synthesis by the drugs was lessened. Mating experiments and transduction tests showed that all of the nine nek mutants are either closely linked or allelic, and the nek locus is closely linked to two genes-str (streptomycin) and spc (spectinomycin)-known to affect the 30S ribosome. The two nek mutants tested were recessive to the sensitive, wild-type allele. When the nek mutants were compared to the parental strain, pleiotropic effects of the nek mutations were observed. Resistance to low levels of streptomycin and spectinomycin was increased, whereas resistance to chloramphenicol was decreased. Also, the mutants were less able to adapt to high concentrations of lincomycin, and could no longer show phenotypic suppression of an arginine requirement by neomycin or kanamycin. Such pleiotropic effects are suggested to be the rule for mutations in genes that participate in the biosynthesis of a cellular organelle.  相似文献

Bacteria-free cultures of the prasinophyte Micromonas pusilla (Butcher) Monton and Parke, UTEX LB 991, were produced by intially determining the effects of several antibiotics on the growth of this alga and then using a combination of these antibiotics to eliminate associated bacteria, Micrononas pusilla was resistant ot penicillin G, neomycin, gentamicin and streptomycin at bactericidal concentrations but sensitive to chloramphenicol and polymixin B. Passage of M. pusilla through the sequence of antibioties penicillin G → neomycin → gentamician → kanamycin resulted in an axenic culture of M, pusilla this method should be suitable for producing axenic culture of other strains of M. pusilla.  相似文献

Cholera is a serious epidemic and endemic disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. SXT is an integrative conjugation element (ICE) that was isolated from a V. cholerae; it encodes resistance to the antibiotics chloramphenicol, streptomycin and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. One hundred seven V. cholerae O1 strains were collected from cholera patients in Iran from 2005 to 2007 in order to study the presence of SXT constin and antibiotic resistance.The study examined 107 Vibrio cholerae strains isolated from cholera prevalent in some Iranian provinces. Bacterial isolation and identification were carried out according to standard bacteriological methods. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) to four antibiotics (chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim) were determined by broth microdilution method. PCR was employed to evaluate the presence of established antibiotic resistance genes and SXT constin using specific primer sets.The resistance of the clinical isolates to sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprime, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin was 97%, 99%, 99%, and 90%, respectively. The data obtained by PCR assay showed that the genes sulII, dfrA1, floR, strB, and sxt element were present in 95.3%, 95.3%, 81.3%, 95.3%, and 95.3% of the V. cholerae isolates.The Vibrio strains showed the typical multidrug-resistance phenotype of an SXT constin. They were resistant to sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprime, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin. The detected antibiotic resistance genes included dfrA for trimethoprim and floR, strB, sulII and int, respectively, for chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, as well as the SXT element.  相似文献

Summary Cadmium-resistant strains of the cyanobacterium Nostoc calcicola were isolated through the step-wise transfer of the organism to higher levels of the metal. One of the Cd-resistant strains (Cdr–10) showed cross-resistance to antibiotics like neomycin (1 g/ml), chloramphenicol (3 g/ml) but not to streptomycin. The Cd-resistant strain also tolerated elevated levels of metals such as zinc (20 ppm) and mercury (1 ppm). The stability of the metal-resistance required the presence of Cd2+ ions in the growth medium. It is suggested that metal resistance may also be determined by gene(s) on the antibiotic resistance plasmids in cyanobacteria.  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

Staphylococcus aureus isolate, WBG1022, was resistant to penicillin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, cadmium, and ethidium bromide and harbored plasmids of 34.5, 24.5, 4.4, 3.2, and 2.6 kilobases. The plasmids were transferred in mixed-culture transfer and conjugation experiments. No resistance phenotype was associated with the 2.6-kb plasmid. The 3.2-kb and 4.4-kb plasmids encoded chloramphenicol and streptomycin resistance respectively. The 24.5-kb plasmid, pWBG626, encoded joint resistance to penicillin, kanamycin, neomycin, and ethidium bromide. Resistance to trimethoprim and cadmium were chromosomal. The 34.5-kb plasmid, pWBG661, had no resistance phenotype but was found to be conjugative. It also mobilized the 4.4-kb and 24.5-kb plasmids in WBG1022. Restriction endonuclease analysis of pWBG661 with EcoRI, ClaI, PvuII, and BglII restriction enzymes demonstrated that pWBG661 was identical to two previously isolated S. aureus conjugative plasmids, p WBG620 and pWBG637, that also lack resistance phenotypes.  相似文献

Six Campylobacter jejuni clinical isolates were examined for the occurrence of plasmids in association with antibiotic resistances as well as conjugal transfer. All the isolates were found to carry three similar plasmids of 78 kb, 12.6 kb and 3.3 kb in size. Multiple resistance to at least three of the antibiotics tested was observed with resistance to tetracycline most common. En bloc transfer of donor resistances at frequencies ranging from 10(-8) to 10(-4) were seen in all but one of the isolates during conjugation. The conjugal transfer of erythromycin, neomycin and streptomycin were observed to occur at frequencies similar to that of chloramphenicol, kanamycin and tetracycline. In isolate ABA94, three different antibiotic resistance phenotypes of the transconjugants were seen. In addition to en bloc transfer of the donor resistances, in approximately 10% of the transconjugants the streptomycin resistance was lost although these transconjugants carried the donor complement of three plasmids. In a further 1% of the transconjugants, resistance to kanamycin only was detected and these transconjugants did not carry any plasmids.  相似文献

Mutants with various levels of resistance to streptothricin were isolated from Escherichia coli K12, strain A19 after mutagenesis with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitroso-guanidine and ethylmethane-sulfonate. Nourseothricin, a mixture of streptothricin F and D was the selection agent. Spontaneous resistant mutants could not be found. The streptothricin-resistant mutant E. coli A19 Stcr 2/2/1 shows cross-resistance to some of the aminoglycoside antibiotics investigated, but no cross-resistance to chloramphenicol and chlortetracyclin. These results indicate similar mechanisms of action of streptothricin and aminoglycoside antibiotics.  相似文献

Summary Streptomycin-resistant colonies were isolated from protoplast cultures of haploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia based on their ability to green in medium containing 1 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate. The frequency of resistant colonies was 0.9×10–5 in nonmutagenized culture, and increased ten-fold following treatment of culture with 10 g/ml N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Of a total of 52 resistant clones isolated, 2 gave rise to haploid, 15 to diploid, and 3 to tetraploid plants upon transfer of calli to differentiation medium. Leaf-segment and protoplast assays showed that all diploid regenerates were resistant to streptomycin but sensitive to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, lincomycin, neomycin, and spectinomycin. Plants in most diploid clones were fertile and able to set seeds when self-fertilized and crossed reciprocally to wild-type plants. Inheritance of streptomycin resistance was studied in the diploid clones and, without exception, the resistance was transmitted maternally. Comparative studies of the ultrastructure of organelles and protein synthesis in isolated chloroplasts between wild-type and resistant clones in the presence of streptomycin suggest that streptomycin resistance is controlled by chloroplasts.  相似文献
