• [14] The global problem of advancing antimicrobial resistance has led to a renewed interest in its use more recently. (mdwiki.org)
  • Identification is critically important as it can reduce the cost and toxicity of the antibiotic therapy and also reduce the possibility of the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. (mdwiki.org)
  • Licorice constituents reduce or reverse drug resistance in MRSA when combined with beta-lactam antibiotics. (interactionsguide.com)
  • Notes: MRSA resistance to this class. (blogspot.com)
  • However, the effectiveness and easy access to antibiotics have also led to their overuse [8] and some bacteria have evolved resistance to them. (mdwiki.org)
  • Activity against extended-spectrum β-lactamase -producing pathogens, notably ESBL-producing E. coli , is good to excellent, because the drug is not affected by cross-resistance issues. (mdwiki.org)
  • While Klebsiella strains donated cefotaxime, cefamandole and cefuroxime resistance to Escherichia coli K-12 recipients, the genetic analysis of exconjugants after the transfer of plasmids from Serratia strains to Proteus or Salmonella recipients showed that the cefoxitin resistance determinant was also co-transferred.

  • In vitro activity of cefamandole, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, and carbenicillin, alone and in combination with aminoglycosides against Serratia marcescens. (nih.gov)
  • In conjugational crosses, three Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and one Serratia marcescens strain have been demonstrated to transfer resistance determinants to newer types of cephalosporins. (nih.gov)
  • From results obtained in this study, it may be concluded that in some strains of nosocomial Enterobacteriaceae, resistance to newer cephalosporins could be transmissible and thus plasmid-located. (nih.gov)
  • Comparison of four recently introduced cephalosporins with respect to probability of resistance in multiresistant strains of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella spec. (nih.gov)
  • Beta-lactamases are enzymes ( EC 3.5.2.6 ) produced by some bacteria and are responsible for their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins , cephalosporins , cephamycins and carbapenems . (wikidoc.org)
