  • However, with the introduction and widespread use of both oxacillin and methicillin, antibiotic-resistant strains called methicillin-resistant and oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA/ORSA) have become increasingly prevalent worldwide. (mdwiki.org)
  • Thus, these drugs are active against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella and Proteus species (though several strains of these organisms have developed resistance). (britannica.com)
  • When the strain produces class A -lacta- cephamycinases, which confer resistance to expanded- mases, including TEM- or SHV-derived ESBLs, or CTX- spectrum cephalosporins (22,23), and no CTX-M-type - M-type enzymes, the color of a disk containing ben- lactamase producer has been isolated from animals.

  • transfer of cefamandole resistance was demonstrated from strains of citrobacter freundii as well as from individual strains of enterobacter cloacae, acinetobacter anitratus and klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients in two newborn units. (liverpool.ac.uk)
  • in citrobacter freundii, cefamandole resistance was transferred always with cephalotin resistance as well as with a tem-like beta lactamase (conferring resistance to ampicillin, carbenicillin and azlocillin). (liverpool.ac.uk)
  • This increase poses several problems, including a) the lack of available antimicrobials for therapy of infections caused by VRE, because most VRE are also resistant to multiple other drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides and ampicillin) previously used for the treatment of infections due to these organisms, and b) the possibility that the vancomycin resistance genes present in VRE may be transferred to other gram-positive microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus.

  • Undetected, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production by the infecting Klebsiella strain was regarded as responsible for treatment failure. (ajlmonline.org)
  • A 2006 report of the Infectious Diseases Society of America listed ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli among drug-resistant microbes for which new therapies are urgently needed. (ajlmonline.org)
  • Like all beta-lactam antibiotics, cefamandole binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, causing the inhibition of the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. (ncats.io)
  • In this study, after vaccination with the most widely used LaSota vaccine (genotype II), chickens with different hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody levels were challenged with heterologous virulent NDV strains of genotypes VII and IX to evaluate how antibody levels relate to clinical protection and infection or virus shedding.
