Antibiotics and multi-resistant organisms
The development of antibiotic resistance is a normal evolutionary process for microorganisms, but it is accelerated by the selective pressure exerted by the widespread use of antibacterial drugs. Nearly all very low birth weight infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) receive an empirical antibiotic treatment in the first days of life, despite the evidence of sterile cultures ...
متن کاملDuocarmycins, new antitumor antibiotics produced by Streptomyces; producing organisms and improved production.
Six duocarmycins have been discovered during our search for new antitumor antibiotics and they showed extremely potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 10(-12) M-10(-9) M on HeLa S3 cell. Three different producing strains isolated from soils were taxonomically assigned as Streptomyces. Duocarmycin A was unstable in culture broth, so improved culture conditions were designed to produce a h...
متن کاملIsolation and Screening of Antibiotics Producing Streptomycetes from Western Region Soils of Saudi Arabia
Streptomycetes group was studied in twenty-three soil samples of western region. The highest density of this group was found in 3 soil samples collected from AI-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. Six Streptomyces series were observed. Gray series represented the most dominant isolates. The highest antimicrobial activity was recorded in the case of gray and red series. Streptomyces MR13 (red series) had a b...
متن کاملRhodobacter johrii sp. nov., an endospore-producing cryptic species isolated from semi-arid tropical soils.
An oval to rod-shaped, phototrophic, purple non-sulfur bacterium, strain JA192(T), was isolated from an enrichment culture of a pasteurized rhizosphere soil sample from a field cultivated with jowar (sorghum) collected from Godumakunta village near Hyderabad, India. Strain JA192(T) is Gram-negative, motile and produces endospores. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences sh...
متن کاملToxicity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics to aquatic organisms.
Toxicity tests were performed with seven fluoroquinolone antibiotics, ciprofloxacin, lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, clinafloxacin, enrofloxacin, and flumequine, on five aquatic organisms. Overall toxicity values ranged from 7.9 to 23,000 microg/L. The cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa was the most sensitive organism (5-d growth and reproduction, effective concentrations [EC50s] rang...
