Energy-dependent accumulation of norfloxacin and porin expression in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and relationship to extended-spectrum β-lactamase production
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002-12-01)
The relationships between porin deficiency, active efflux of fluoroquinolones, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production were determined for 53 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Thirty-two ESBL-positive ...

Zinc eluted from siliconized latex urinary catheters decreases OprD expression, causing carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-07-01)
The activities of carbapenems against Pseudomonas aeruginosa decreased in the presence of siliconized latex urinary catheters (SLUCs). This effect was associated with the loss of OprD. The zinc that eluted from SLUCs is ...

Evaluation of three automated systems for susceptibility testing of enterobacteria containing qnrB, qnrS, and/or aac(6′)-Ib-cr
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011)
The accuracy of the MicroScan WalkAway, BD Phoenix, and Vitek-2 systems for susceptibility testing of quinolones and aminoglycosides against 68 enterobacteria containing qnrB, qnrS, and/or aac(6′)-Ib-cr was evaluated using ...

Role of Klebsiella pneumoniae LamB porin in antimicrobial resistance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-10-01)
To investigate the contribution of LamB in Klebsiella pneumoniae antimicrobial resistance, we determined the MICs of various antibiotics and the frequency of mutation to increased cefoxitin or meropenem resistance of the ...

Activities of ABT-773 against Listeria monocytogenes and coryneform bacteria of clinical interest
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-04-01)
The in vitro activities of ABT-773 were evaluated against 15 Listeria monocytogenes strains and 196 coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples. One hundred percent of the L. monocytogenes strains were inhibited by ...

Detection of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. in Spain
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
We have studied by PCR and DNA sequencing the presence of the qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, qepA, intI1, and ISCR1 genes in 200 clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae (n = 153) and E. aerogenes (n = 47) consecutively ...

Mutant prevention concentrations of fluoroquinolones for Enterobacteriaceae expressing the plasmid-carried quinolone resistance determinant qnrA1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-06-01)
The influence of qnrA1 on the development of quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated by using the mutant prevention concentration parameter. The expression of qnrA1 considerably increased the mutant ...

Development of resistance during antimicrobial therapy caused by insertion sequence interruption of porin genes
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999-01-01)
We have demonstrated by using an in vitro approach that interruption of the OmpK36 porin gene by insertion sequences (ISs) is a common type of mutation that causes loss of porin expression and increased resistance to ...

A multinational, preregistered cohort study of β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations for treatment of bloodstream infections due to extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-07-01)
The spread of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) is leading to increased carbapenem consumption. Alternatives to carbapenems need to be investigated. We investigated whether ...

Comparison of broth microdilution and E-test for susceptibility testing of Neisseria meningitidis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996)
The susceptibilities of 54 clinical isolates of Neisseria meningitidis to penicillin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and rifampin were determined by the microdilution method ...
