  • MRSA was detected using cefoxitin disc and inducible clindamycin resistance detected using D-test. (clin-lab-publications.com)
  • The prevalence of inducible clindamycin resistance was 17% (10/59). (clin-lab-publications.com)
  • Conclusions: This study showed high rates of MRSA carriage and inducible clindamycin resistance with the percentages of 22 and 17, respectively. (clin-lab-publications.com)
  • Cephalosporin Drugs Market - Global cephalosporin drugs market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of the rapid introduction of new treatments for various infectious diseases and increasing healthcare spending. (powershow.com)
  • which drug is very useful for resistant bacteria? (brainscape.com)
  • Recent studies have discovered populations of resistant bacteria carrying a gene for a protein named chloramphenicol-florfenicol resistance, or Cfr for short. (elifesciences.org)
  • Food products of animal origin contaminated with drug resistant bacteria may provide a direct route for human colonization [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The overall level of extended spectrum cephalosporin resistance currently appears low. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL), an enzyme produced by some gram negative bacteria, poses a peculiar challenge for treatment as it confers resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins and monobactams [ 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • During treatment with such drugs, these resistant organisms, as well as fungi, often proliferate and may induce super infection. (aixuebb.com)
  • The analysis includes all drugs (ATC codes) that contain an antibacterial substance and are used to treat or prevent bacterial infection, including systemic (infusion fluids and oral) and topical drugs (ointments, creams, gels, drops, vaginal, suppositories and oral non-absorbable). (folkhalsomyndigheten.se)
  • The cause of resistance to methicillin is the acquisition of the mecA gene, situated on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). (iium.edu.my)
  • Chloramphenicol is distributed widely in body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, and is excreted in urine. (msdmanuals.com)
  • In Asian countries, beta-lactam and macrolide resistance are very high, and multidrug resistance (MDR) also is common [4, 14C16]. (techblessing.com)
  • medical citation needed] In low-income countries, the WHO no longer recommends only chloramphenicol as first-line to treat meningitis, but recognises it may be used with caution if there are no available alternatives. (wikipedia.org)

  • The acetylation prevents chloramphenicol from binding to the ribosome. (wikipedia.org)
  • A large proportion of these drugs do this by disrupting an essential piece of cellular machinery called the ribosome which the bacteria need to make proteins. (elifesciences.org)
  • According to the World Health Organization, "more than any other issue, poverty and inadequate access to drugs continue to be a major force in the development of resistance. (jabfm.org)
