Citrobacter diversus ULA-27 beta-lactamases. Improved purification and general properties.

چکیده
Two chromosome-encoded beta-lactamases have been purified from Citrobacter diversus ULA-27. They exhibited slightly different isoelectric points (6.8 and 6.2) and very similar Mr values (congruent to 29,000). Their specificity spectrum was rather wide, since they hydrolysed some cephalosporins with kcat: values similar to those observed with the best penicillin substrates. Cloxacillin, methicillin and imipenem were hydrolysed very slowly. Hydrolysis of azthreonam could not be detected.

Citrobacter diversus isolated from clinical material.
Forty-seven strains of Citrobacter diversus were isolated during a 12-month period from clinical material obtained from patients in a general hospital in Israel. The majority of cultures (38) were recovered from urine and wound discharges. There was one case of septicemia. The biochemical reactions of all cultures were typical for this species, except one that was anaerogenic, and they could be...
متن کاملIn vitro activity and beta-lactamase stability of GR69153, a new long-acting cephalosporin.
GR69153, a new parenteral cephalosporin, inhibited 90% of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter diversus, shigellae, and salmonellae at less than 0.25 micrograms/ml (MIC90). It had activity comparable to those of ceftazidime, cefpirome, cefepime, and E-1040. Against cephalosporinase-producing Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, and Serratia marcescens, MIC...

متن کاملCitrobacter koseri and Citrobacter amalonaticus isolates carry highly divergent beta-lactamase genes despite having high levels of biochemical similarity and 16S rRNA sequence homology.
OBJECTIVES Isolates previously identified as Citrobacter diversus are now known as Citrobacter koseri. We measured sequence variation at the beta-lactamase structural gene among a group of clinical isolates originally identified as C. diversus by API 20E profiling. METHODS beta-Lactamase and 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced by standard methods. beta-Lactamase induction was a...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of an oral iminomethoxy aminothiazolyl cephalosporin, R-3746.
The in vitro activity of R-3746, an iminomethoxy aminothiazolyl cephalosporin with a CH2OCH3 moiety at position 3, was compared with those of other antibiotics. R-3746 inhibited the majority of hemolytic streptococci (groups A, B, C, F, and G) and Streptococcus pneumoniae at less than 0.06 micrograms/ml, which was comparable to the activity of amoxicillin, 2- to 8-fold more active than cefixime...
