Rapid identification of Enterobacter hormaechei and Enterobacter cloacae genetic cluster III.
AIM Enterobacter cloacae complex bacteria are of both clinical and environmental importance. Phenotypic methods are unable to distinguish between some of the species in this complex, which often renders their identification incomplete. The goal of this study was to develop molecular assays to identify Enterobacter hormaechei and Ent. cloacae genetic cluster III which are relatively frequently e...
متن کاملChromosomal cephalosporinase in Enterobacter hormaechei as an ancestor of ACT-1 plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase.
In this study of the diversity of AmpC β-lactamase in clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp., a strain was found carrying the plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase ACT-1 gene on its chromosome. The strain was identified as Enterobacter hormaechei using phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and hsp60 genes. In addition, the species was confirmed by DNA-DNA hybridization. The genetic environment of the b...
متن کاملAn outbreak of neonatal septicaemia by Enterobacter cloacae
Neonatal septicaemia (NS) is a haunting problem for neonatologists all over the world with considerable morbidity and mortality. The bacteriological profile of NS is constantly changing along with the source of infection. This clinical entity is more commonly associated with preterm and low birthweight babies. In the Indian scenario, members of Enterobacteriaceae continue to be a challenging pr...
متن کاملEnterobacter hormaechei, a new species of the family Enterobacteriaceae formerly known as enteric group 75.
The name Enterobacter hormaechei is proposed for a new species of the family Enterobacteriaceae, formerly called Enteric Group 75, which consists of 23 strains, 22 of which were isolated from humans. DNAs from 12 E. hormaechei strains tested were highly related to the type strain (ATCC 49162) by DNA hybridization, using the hydroxyapatite method (80 to 97% in 60 degrees C reactions; 80 to 90% i...
متن کاملOutbreak of cephalosporin resistant Enterobacter cloacae infection
Enterobacter cloacae resistant to third generation cephalosporins emerged rapidly during an outbreak of serious infections due to this organism in a neonatal intensive care unit where ampicillin and gentamicin were used as first line antibiotic treatment. Organisms resistant to cephalosporins were isolated from 12 infants, six of whom developed systemic infection. Two infants died. Isolates of ...
