Bactericidal action of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes on
Escherichia coli
in the presence of
Bacteroides fragilis
grown in subinhibitory concentrations of clindamycin, metronidazole and fusidic acid was studied.Bacteroides fragilis
grown in the absence of drugs significantly inhibited the killing of
Escherichia coli.Bacteroides fragilis grown in the presence of the drugs had a reduced inhibitory effect on the killing of
Escherichia coli
but this reduction was only significant for
Bacteroides fragilis
grown in 1/2 MIC of clindamycin. The phagocytosis of
Bacteroides fragilis
grown with and without clindamycin, as measured by killing, was the same. Complement consumption of
Bacteroides fragilis
grown with and without clindamycin did not differ. Clindamycin-treated
Bacteroides fragilis
fixed C3 to a significantly lower degree than did untreated bacteria. The chemiluminescence of
Escherichia coli
opsonized with serum preincubated with clindamycin-treated
Bacteroides fragilis
was significantly higher than with serum preincubated with untreated bacteria. These results suggested that in killing experiments of mixed
Escherichia coli
and
Bacteroides fragilis,the mechanism underlying the reduced inhibitory capacity of clindamycin-exposed
Bacteroides fragilis
is related to greater availability of C3 in serum for opsonization of
Escherichia coli. 相似文献

Weekly fungal surveillance cultures (1,542 cultures) of urine (475), stool (520) and oropharyngeal (547) specimens from 111 patients on the bone marrow transplant and hematologic malignancy services were analyzed. Forty-three percent of the patients were colonized by
Candida albicans
and 10.8 % by
Candida tropicalis.
There were 22 proven systemic fungal infections, ten due to
Candida albicans,eight to
Candida tropicalis,one each to
Candida pseudotropicalis
and
Torulopsis glabrata,and two to
Aspergillus
species. Positive surveillance cultures for
Candida tropicalis
were highly predictive of systemic infection. The finding of two or more positive cultures yielded high positive predictive values (100%) as a function of body site. Positive surveillance cultures for
Candida albicans
were not predictive of disease but negative cultures for
Candida albicans
and
Candida tropicalis
had a high negative predictive value (95–99 %). Surveillance culture data for specific
Candida
species may aid in diagnostic and therapeutic decision making. 相似文献

Extracts of representative mycobacteria were examined by thin-layer chromatography for glycosylphenolphthiocerol dimycocerosates. The glycolipid typical of
Mycobacterium bovis
was also found in
Mycobacterium africanum
and
Mycobacterium microti,but it was absent in
Mycobacterium bovis
AN 5.Mycobacterium gastri
strains contained a glycolipid which was chromatographically similar to that in
Mycobacterium kansasii.Representatives of
Mycobacterium marinum
produced a distinct glycolipid type, and one strain had major amounts of a more polar variant. The sugar moieties of purified lipids, including that from
Mycobacterium leprae,were identified by thin-layer chromatography of methyl glycosides in acid methanolysates. 相似文献

Using a broth microdilution method, the in vitro activity of BMY-28100 against 365 clinical strains of commonly isolated bacteria was determined. BMY-28100 showed good activity against streptococci, methicillin-susceptible staphylococci,Salmonella
spp.,Shigella
spp., and beta-lactamase producing
Branhamella catorrhalis
and
Haemophilus influenzae.Against susceptible strains of these organisms, BMY-28100 showed activity comparable to that of penicillin G, ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, erythromycin, cefaclor, doxycycline and amoxicillin/potassium clavulanate. BMY-28100 had moderate activity against
Arizona hinshawii
and poor activity against
Campylobacter jejuni
and
Yersinia enterocolitica. 相似文献

An outbreak of 94 episodes of
Clostridium
difficile-associated diarrhoea in 62 patients in a nephrology ward over a two-year period was investigated. Quantitative stool cultures were performed on ten uremic patients not on antibiotics and without diarrhoea and on ten healthy controls. All diarrhoeal episodes were associated with
Clostridium difficile,and no other bacterial pathogens were isolated. Thirty-two relapses occurred in 16 patients, fourteen of the relapses without preceding antibiotic exposure.Clostridium difficile
could not be isolated from the environment of the patients. Uremic patients, who had a significantly increased number of
Clostridium
spp. in their stools, are predisposed to
Clostridium difficile
infections. 相似文献

The in vitro activity of LY146032 was compared with those of seven other antimicrobial agents against gram-positive cocci. MICs of LY146032 were lowest for
Streptococcus pneumoniae
and methicillin-susceptible
Staphylococcus epidermidis (0.25 mg/l).For methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus epidermidis
and
Staphylococcus aureus
the MICs were 1 mg/l, for
Enterococcus faecalis
2 mg/l and for
Enterococcus faecium
4 mg/l. The activity of LY146032 was in general higher than that of vancomycin. Time-kill studies showed LY146032 had higher bactericidal activity than vancomycin against a methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
strain, and bactericidal activity against
Enterococcus faecalis
and
Enterococcus faecium. 相似文献

This paper identifies and analyzes how the implementation and use of picture archiving and communication system impacts radiologists’
work practice. The study is longitudinal from 1999 to 2005 and have a qualitative perspective were data were collected by
structured interviews in a total of 46. The interviews were transcribed, analyzed, and coded using grounded theory as an organizing
principle. In radiologists’ work practice, three main categories were defined: professional role, diagnostic practice, and technology in use. The changing trends within the professional role indicated that radiologists moved from a more individual professional expertise to become more of an actor in a network. The diagnostic practice changed, as reading x-ray films was seen as an art form in 1999, requiring years of training. Once everyone could view digital images, including 3-dimensional technology, it was easier for other clinicians to see and interpret the
images and the skills become accessible to everyone. The change in technology in use as a result of the shift to digital images led to an increased specialization of the radiologist. 相似文献

The activity of Ro 23-6240 and rifampicin against intracellular
Mycobacterium fortuitum
and
Mycobacterium chelonei
was assessed in vitro over a 48-hour period. Both agents, at an extracellular concentration of 2.0 mg/l (Ro 23-6240) and 1.0 mg/l (rifampicin), produced a significant intracellular killing of the sensitive
Mycobacterium fortuitum
at both 20 and 48 hours. However, neither agent was effective against the resistant
Mycobacterium chelonei.It was concluded that Ro 23-6240 has a direct antimicrobial effect against sensitive intracellular mycobacteria. 相似文献

Aeromonas
spp. occurring in feces of children with diarrhea were studied. Forty-eight strains were isolated from 2,025 specimens during a one year period. Only 11 of 44 strains tested yielded virulence factors (cytotoxin, hemolysin and hemagglutinin). Six strains were identified as
Aeromonas sobria
and five as
Aeromonas hydrophila.The other strains isolated were identified as
Aeromonas caviae.The biochemical characteristics associated with virulence factors were a positive Voges-Proskauer reaction, production of gas from glucose, fermentation of mannose, and absence of -lactosidase. Beta-D-glucosidase and esculin hydrolysis were the main characteristics used to differentiate
Aeromonas sobria
from the other two species. The incidence of
Aeromonas
spp. with virulence factors in feces of children with diarrhea would seem to vary widely from one area to another. 相似文献

Cell type in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is determined by information present at the MAT locus. Cells can switch mating types when cell-type information located at a silent locus, HML or HMR, is transposed to the MAT locus. The HML and HMR loci are kept silent through the action of a number of proteins, one of which is the DNA-binding protein, ABF1. We have identified a binding site for ABF1 within the Ya region of MAT
a and HMR
a. In order to examine the function of this ABF1-binding site, we have constructed strains that lack the site in the MAT
a or HMR
a loci. Consistent with the idea that ABF1 plays a redundant role in silencing, it was found that a triple deletion of the ABF1-binding sites at HMRE, Ya and I did not permit the expresion of HMR
a. We have also shown that chromosomal deletion of the binding site at MATY
a had no effect on the level of cutting by the HO endonuclease nor on the amount of mating-type switching observed. Similarly, chromosomal deletion of all three ABF1-binding sites at HMR
a had no effect on the directionality of mating-type switching. 相似文献

Eighty-four anaerobic fecal isolates obtained from five healthy volunteers were tested for their ability to inhibit in vitro growth of eight species of
Enterobacteriaceae,four species of faculative gram-positive cocci, and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Forty-nine of the 84 anaerobic isolates (58 %) inhibited the growth of at least one indicator bacterium. Isolates of
Bacteroides
and
Bifidobacterium
spp. were most consistently inhibitory. Anaerobic cocci and clostridia were infrequently inhibitory; eubacteria showed no inhibitory activity.Serratia marcescens
was the indicator most often inhibited; 54 % of all anaerobic isolates tested, all of nine
Bifidobacterium
isolates and 33 of 43
Bacteroides
isolates inhibited this organism. No anaerobes inhibited the growth of
Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter diversus orStreptococcus faecalis. 相似文献

Two patients with relapsing
Clostridium difficile
diarrhoea following metronidazole and vancomycin therapy were colonised with a non-toxigenic avirulent
Clostridium difficile
strain given orally in three doses. Both patients appeared to respond without sideeffects. Oral bacteriotherapy with a defined nontoxigenic strain of
Clostridium difficile
would appear to represent an acceptable, alternative and novel way to treat hospitalised patients who relapse with
Clostridium difficile
diarrhoea after specific antibiotic therapy. 相似文献

A miniaturized 2-h system for detection of lactosenegative potentially enteropathogenic bacteria on the basis of nine enzymatic tests was evaluated. The system was challenged with 210 strains of lactose-negative and lactose-positive species grown on MacConkey agar. Specific and constant patterns were found for
Salmonella, Shigella
A-C,Yersinia enterocolitica, Aeromonas
spp. and
Vibrio cholerae. Shigella sonnei
and
Hafnia alvei
had an identical pattern, likewise
Plesiomonas shigelloides,halophilic vibrios and

The in vitro activity of A-56268 (TE-031) was determined and compared with that of 13 antibiotics against 401 gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and 11 strains of
Chlamydia trachomatis.A-56268 was very active against methicillin-susceptible
Staphylococcus aureus
and
Neisseria gonorrhoeae,and was among the most active of the agents tested against
Listeria monocytogenes,streptococci and
Chlamydia trachomatis.It was moderately active against
Haemophilus
spp.,Vibrio
spp.,Campylobacter jejuni
and
Campylobacter fetus
subsp.
fetus.It was inactive against enterococci, methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis, Campylobacter coli, Salmonella
spp.,Shigella
spp. and
Yersinia enterocolitica.A-56268 was not consistently bactericidal or more active than erythromycin for any organism except
Chlamydia trachomatis. 相似文献

The in vitro activity of tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and two recently developed 1-aryl-fluoro-quinolones, A56610 and A56620, was tested against 65 beta-lactamase-negative and 35 betalactamase-positive
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
strains, 12
Chlamydia trachomatis,50
Mycoplasma hominis,28
Ureaplasma urealyticum
and 50
Gardnerella vaginalis
strains. In the case of
Chlamydia trachomatis
and
Mycoplasma hominis
both the MIC and the MBC were determined. The MIC90 of ciprofloxacin for
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
was 0.008
g/mland of A56619 and A56620 0.03
g/ml.No difference was observed between the activity against beta-lactamase-negative and beta-lactamase-positive strains. The MIC90 values of ciprofloxacin and A56620 for
Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis
and
Ureaplasma urealyticum
were identical, the values being 2
g/ml, 1g/mland 4
g/mlrespectively. The MIC90 of A56619 for
Chlamydia trachomatis
and
Ureaplasma urealyticum
was 0.5
g/mland 1
g/mlrespectively. The MBC90 values of the three quinolones for
Chlamydia trachomatis
and
Mycoplasma hominis
were 2
g/ml.The activity of the quinolones against
Gardnerella vaginalis
was rather low, the MIC90 being 4
g/ml.It is concluded that A56619 and A56620 might be useful for single-dose therapy of gonococcal infections. 相似文献

Combinations of ciprofloxacin with azlocillin, piperacillin and ticarcillin were tested in vitro against clinical isolates. Azlocillin plus ciprofloxacin showed synergy against 30% of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
isolates; it was either synergistic or additive against 78% of all isolates tested even those resistant to the beta-lactam. Synergism was rarely noted for
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter
spp. or
Branhamella
spp. isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin plus azlocillin, plus piperacillin and plus ticarcillin against
Pseudomonas
spp. were reduced 4 or 2 fold, respectively. However, the combination azlocillin plus ciprofloxacin showed primarily indifference against gram-positive strains. Neutropenic mice infected with a lethal challenge of
Pseudomonas
spp. were protected by a combination of azlocillin and ciprofloxacin. Its additive and/or synergistic effects and expanded spectrum of activity against streptococci, methicillin-resistant staphylococci and JK corynebacteria may provide an alternative to traditional therapy. 相似文献

The in vitro activity of amoxicillin in the presence of clavulanic acid against clinical isolates of
Haemophilus influenzae
and
Branhamella catarrhalis
was assessed in comparison with ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefaclor and erythromycin. The isolates were selected so as to yield equal numbers of beta-lactamase producing and non-beta-lactamase producing strains of the two species. MICs obtained by agar dilution indicated that amoxicillin in the presence of clavulanic acid was the most active of the drugs tested. Clavulanic acid potentiated the activity of amoxicillin against beta-lactamase-producing strains of both
Haemophilus influenzae
and
Branhamella catarrhalis.Further studies on a few strains of each species revealed that the beta-lactamase of
Haemophilus influenzae
(TEM-1) rapidly inactivated ampicillin and slowly inactivated cefaclor but not cefuroxime. The
Branhamella catarrhalis
enzyme rapidly inactivated cefaclor, ampicillin and to some extent cefuroxime. Clavulanic acid afforded protection against the beta-lactamase action of both species when beta-lactam antibiotics were added to bacterial cultures. 相似文献

The emergence of beta-lactamase producing bacteria in the microflora in the oropharyngeal cavity was studied in ten healthy volunteers treated with 1 g phenoxymethylpenicillin b.i.d. for ten days. Beta-lactamase activity in saliva was also investigated. A significant increase in the number of beta-lactamase producing strains of
Bacteroides
species and
Fusobacterium nucleatum
was observed. One beta-lactamase producing
Staphylococcus aureus
strain was recovered in one of the volunteers before the penicillin administration started and three
Staphylococcus aureus
strains produced beta-lactamase after ten days of antibiotic treatment. Beta-lactamase-production in
Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae
or
Branhamella catarrhalis
was not observed before, during or after the antibiotic treatment. Beta-lactamase activity was noted in the broth cultures from one volunteer colonized with a beta-lactamase producing
Escherichia coli
strain. Beta-lactamase activity in saliva was observed in all volunteers, the activity increasing significantly in parallel to the increase of betalactamase producing bacterial strains. Beta-lactamase activity in saliva was completely inhibited in vitro by clavulanic acid and p-chloromercurbenzoate and about 70–80 per cent of the activity was inhibited by cefoxitin. The increase of beta-lactamase producing bacteria in the oropharynx as a consequence of penicillin treatment raises doubt as to whether penicillin is the drug of choice in the treatment of tonsillitis caused by group A streptococci when previous treatment has failed. 相似文献

In order to determine the recovery rate of species of the genera
Haemophilus
and
Moraxella
(including subgenus
Branhamella)
from the upper respiratory tract and the incidence of
-lactamase production within these genera, cultures were made of nose and throat swab specimens and adenoid tissue in 50 children undergoing adenoidectomy.Haemophilus influenzae
was isolated from 92% of the children. All children harboured strains of
Haemophilus
spp. and in 46%, at least one strain produced the TEM-1
-lactamase.Branhamella catarrhalis
and/or
Moraxella nonliquefaciens
were isolated from 82% of the children and strains producing the BRO-1
-lactamase from 34%. Overall, TEM-1 and/or BRO-1 producing strains were recovered from 60% of the investigated patients. The
-lactamase production was found to be transferable by conjugation within the respective genera. It is suggested that the apathogenic species may be a source of transferable determinants mediating
-lactamase production in the upper respiratory tract. 相似文献

BMY-28100 was compared with cephalexin, cefaclor, cefixime, and cefteram and found to be more active than the reference cephalosporins against
Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus faecalis,and
Clostridium difficile.BMY-28100 was the next most active, after cefteram, against
Streptococcus pyogenes
and
Streptococcus pneumoniae.Against gram-negative bacteria, BMY-28100 showed similar activity to that of cefaclor. The antimicrobial activity of BMY-28100, including bactericidal activity, against
Staphylococcus aureus
was less affected by penicillinase-production than was that of cefaclor. BMY-28100 was more stable than cefaclor against various types of penicillinases, especially against the penicillinase from
Staphylococcus aureus. 相似文献
