In vitro activities of ketolide HMR 3647, macrolides, and clindamycin against coryneform bacteria
(American Society for Microbiology, 1998-12-01)
The in vitro activity of ketolide HMR 3647 against coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples was evaluated. Except against Corynebacterium jeikeium and C. urealyticum, HMR 3647 showed high activity against ...

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 ...

Roles of β-Lactamases and Porins in Activities of Carbapenems and Cephalosporins against Klebsiella pneumoniae
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999-07-01)
Two clinical isolates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- producing Klebsiella pneumoniae were noted to be less susceptible than expected to imipenem. Both were missing outer membrane proteins that serve as channels ...

Identification and characterization of a new porin gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae: Its role in β-lactam antibiotic resistance
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999)
Klebsiella pneumoniae porin genes were analyzed to detect mutations accounting for the porin deficiency observed in many β-lactam-resistant strains. PCR and Southern blot analysis revealed the existence of a third porin ...

In vivo selection of porin-deficient mutants of Klebsiella pneumoniae with increased resistance to cefoxitin and expanded-spectrum cephalosporins
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-02-01)
Four Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (LB1, LB2, LB3, and LB4) with increased antimicrobial resistance were obtained from the same patient. The four isolates were indistinguishable in biotype, plasmid content, lipopolysaccharide, ...

Comparison of E-test with broth microdilution and disk diffusion for susceptibility testing of coryneform bacteria
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995)
The susceptibilities of 135 coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples to ampicillin (AMP), cephalothin (CR), cefoxitin (FOX), cefotaxime (CTX), erythromycin (E), ciprofioxacin (CIP), tetracycline (TE), amikacin ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Corynebacterium striatum
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-11-01)
The in vitro activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 86 strains of Corynebacterium striatum were evaluated by microdilution using cation- adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. MICs at which 90% of strains were inhibited ...

Energy-dependent accumulation of fluoroquinolones in quinolone- resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 1998-07-01)
The intracellular accumulation of norfloxacin and perloxacin in Klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated. The roles of lipopolysaccharide, capsule, and outer membrane proteins were not important for the intrabacterial accumulation ...

Phenotypic characteristics of 31 strains of Corynebacterium striatum isolated from clinical samples
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995)
During a 34-month period (January 1991 to October 1993), 31 Corynebacterium striatum strains recovered from clinical samples from 24 patients were characterized. Twenty (64%) strains were isolated from wound exudates, 5 ...
