This study was developed to evaluate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in two hospitals (A and B) in Goiânia, GO, Brazil. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was determined using the MicroScan WalkAway (Dade Behring, USA). Tests to evaluate the genetic correlation between the isolates were also performed. For the ESBL phenotypic...

The genus Enterobacter was first proposed by Hormaeche and Edwards (1960a). However, the history of some species now placed in the genus Enterobacter can be traced, albeit with some confusion, to the end of the 19th century. “Bacillus lactis aerogenes” was isolated by Escherich (1885) from milk and renamed “Bacillus aerogenes” by Kruse (1896) and “Aerobacter aerogenes” by Beijerinck (1900). Unt...

The activity of a new semisynthetic penicillin, carbenicillin, was determined against 241 strains of gram-negative bacilli with the tube-dilution technique. Of 143 strains of Pseudomonas sp., 99 had a minimal inhibitory concentration of 200 to 300 mug/ml. The majority of strains of Escherichia coli and Proteus spp. were sensitive to this antibiotic, with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 25 ...

Sulfoquinovose (6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucopyranose), formed by the hydrolysis of the plant sulfolipid, is a major component of the biological sulfur cycle. However, pathways for its catabolism are poorly delineated. We examined the hypothesis that mineralization of sulfoquinovose to inorganic sulfate is initiated by reactions of the glycolytic and/or Entner-Doudoroff pathways in bacteria. Metaboli...

antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon in which antibiotic used to treat bacteria becomes useless due to resistance mechanism. increased drug resistance and occurrence of multiple drug resistance in bacteria specificity nosocomial and urinary tract infection bacteria has reduced the possibilities of treating these infectious diseases. efflux pumps are one of the major mechanism of mdr in bacteri...

The aim is to study the antibiotic and phage resistance of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from children with acute intestinal infections. Materials methods . 490 by bacteriological method feces patients infections various etiologies aged 1 month 18 years in period 2019—2021 were studied. diagnosis infection caused was established taking into account detection pathogen at a concentration least 5...

Objective(s): To evaluate the in vitro interaction between different extracts of Thymbra spicata L. and certain antimicrobial drugs of different mechanisms, including ampicillin, cefotaxime, amikacin and ciprofloxacin. This study was performed against multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Materials and Methods: Evaluation of antibacterial activity and ...
