Susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to clarithromycin.
Susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to the macrolide compounds has often been problematic. This is as a result of the inability of many isolates of H. influenzae to grow without the addition of 5% CO2 to the incubation atmosphere and the subsequent detrimental effect that CO2 has on the activity of the macrolide group of compounds. This report describes refinements and recommendati...
متن کاملHaemophilus influenzae: antibiotic susceptibility.
Ampicillin resistance was first reported among clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae in 1972. Reports of chloramphenicol resistance followed shortly thereafter. The principal mechanism of resistance to these two antibiotics is enzymatic. Although other mechanisms have been described, they are found in comparatively few strains. The genetic information for the inactivating enzymes is plasm...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae.
Selected clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were tested for their susceptibility to seven antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution and an agar diffusion method. Eleven of 40 strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, the drug of choice, by both methods. All the strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, and all but one were susceptible to tetracycline. Of the other four an...
متن کاملQuantitative antibiotic susceptibility testing: Haemophilus influenzae type B.
Twelve strains of Haemophilus influenzae were tested for susceptibility to gentamicin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol and cephalothin using two methods, agar dilution and microdilution (broth). Although inocula and incubation conditions were standardized, significant differences in the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) were seen as a result of growth media. Method dependent differences were a...
متن کاملSusceptibility of ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae to seven penicillins.
Sixty-seven clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae from various sections of the United States, England, and Germany were tested for susceptibility to penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, epicillin, carbenicillin, ticarcillin, and methicillin. Fifty-three of the strains had previously been judged to be ampicillin resistant and 14 had been determined to be ampicillin susceptible. Fifty-two o...
