Isolation of trimethoprim-resistant, sulfonamide-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae from urinary tract infections.

چکیده
The isolation of trimethoprim-resistant, sulfonamide-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae causing urinary tract infections is reported. The appearance of these strains followed the introduction of trimethoprim alone for use as treatment. Trimethoprim resistance was attributable to plasmids or transposons less frequently in sulfonamide-susceptible Escherichia coli isolates than in sulfonamide-resistant strains.

Evaluation of the effect of IDR-1018 antimicrobial peptide and chitosan nanoparticles on imipenem susceptible and resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with urinary tract infections from ICU
Background and aim: Excessive use of antibiotics has significantly increased resistance to common antibiotics in the treatment of urinary tract infections. In the present study, antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles and peptide IDR-1018 was evaluated against P. aeruginosa isolates. Methods: In the present study, 20 resistant and 20 sensitive P. aeruginosa isolates to imipenem were ...

Background. Selection of empiric antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTIs) has become more challenging because of the increasing rates of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MDRE) infections. Methods. This retrospective study was conducted to determine antibiotic resistance patterns, risk factors, and appropriate empiric antibiotic selection for MDRE UTIs. Adult patients seen in the E...

INTRODUCTION Bacterial infections that cause community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTI) and upper respiratory tract infections (CA-URTI) are most frequently treated empirically. However, an increase in antimicrobial resistance has become a problem when treating outpatients. METHODS This study determined the in vitro activities of oral antibiotics among 1501 pathogens from outpatient...
متن کاملTransferable drug resistance among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from human urinary tract infections.
Fifteen sulfonamide-resistant cultures isolated from urinary tract infections in eastern Nebraska were screened for transferable drug resistance by three methods. Seven of the 15 resistant cultures could transfer resistance of varying levels to two or more chemotherapeutic agents. Transfer of drug resistance occurred without accompanying transfer of chromosomal traits and required cell to cell ...
