Quality control for β-lactam susceptibility testing with a well-defined collection of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in Spain
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003)
Eighteen Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, 16 of them with well-defined β-lactam re sistance mechanisms, were sent to 52 Spanish microbiology laboratories. Interpretative categories for 8 extended-spectrum ...

Nationwide study of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases in Spain
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-05-01)
Clonal dissemination of extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBL) in 170 Escherichia coli isolates and 70 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a nationwide study of 40 Spanish centers in 2000 was not observed in most centers. ...

Activities of gemifloxacin and five other antimicrobial agents against Listeria monocytogenes and coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001-07-31)
The in vitro activities of gemifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, doxycycline, gentamicin, and vancomycin were evaluated against 15 Listeria monocytogenes strains and 205 coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples. ...

Activities of imipenem and cephalosporins against clonally related strains of Escherichia coli hyperproducing chromosomal β-lactamase and showing altered porin profiles
(American Society for Microbiology, 2000-09-06)
Forty clonally related clinical isolates of Escherichia coli from hospitalized patients were resistant to cefoxitin (MICs, >256 μg/ml) and ceftazidime (MICs, 32 to 256 μg/ml) and were intermediate or resistant to cefotaxime ...

Predictive analysis of transmissible quinolone resistance indicates Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a potential source of a novel family of Qnr determinants
(BioMed Central, 2008)
Background Predicting antibiotic resistance before it emerges at clinical settings constitutes a novel approach for preventing and fighting resistance of bacterial pathogens. To analyse the possibility that novel ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Efficacy of cefepime and imipenem in experimental murine pneumonia caused by porin-deficient Klebsiella pneumoniae producing CMY-2 β-lactamase
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-08-01)
Previous studies have shown decreased in vitro activity of zwitterionic cephalosporins and carbapenems against porin-deficient Klebsiella pneumoniae expressing a plasmid-mediated AmpC-type β-lactamase (PACBL). The in vitro ...

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 ...
