Antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas pseudomallei.

چکیده
The in vitro activity of various antibiotics against Pseudomonas pseudomallei was studied. The tetracyclines were the most active, followed by gentamicin, kanamycin, novobiocin, chloramphenicol, rifampin, cycloserine, erythromycin, and ampicillin.

Ribotype analysis of Pseudomonas pseudomallei isolates.
No epidemiological typing system to differentiate among Pseudomonas pseudomallei isolates has been available. Ribotype analysis was developed and used to examine 74 clinical and 10 environmental isolates of P. pseudomallei from Thailand. Six P. pseudomallei ribotypes were identified from restriction fragment polymorphisms of EcoRI chromosomal digests. The predominant ribotype, A, was found in 5...
متن کاملPostantibiotic effects and Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) pseudomallei: evaluation of current treatment.
The postantibiotic effects (PAEs) OF 16 antibiotics or antibiotic combinations currently used against Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) pseudomallei were determined. The beta-lactams had zero PAEs, while the carbapenems and ciprofloxacin induced median PAEs of 1 and 5 h, respectively. These results emphasize the need to maintain antibiotic levels above inhibitory concentrations in blood throughout the...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility and Genetic Characterisation of Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolated from Malaysian Patients
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics. Ceftazidime (CAZ), the synthetic β-lactam, is normally used as the first-line antibiotic therapy for treatment of melioidosis. However, acquired CAZ resistance can develop in vivo during treatment with CAZ, leading to mortality if therapy is not switched to a different antibiotic(s) in...
متن کاملThe In vitro Antibiotic Tolerant Persister Population in Burkholderia pseudomallei is Altered by Environmental Factors
Bacterial persistence due to antibiotic tolerance is a critical aspect of antibiotic treatment failure, disease latency, and chronic or reemergent infections. The levels of persisters is especially notable for the opportunistic Gram-negative pathogens from the Burkholderia and Pseudomonas genera. We examined the rate of drug tolerant persisters in Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia thailan...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
