  • RESULTS: We found evidence of cross resistance to various antimicrobials in all six bacterial species assessed. (itg.be)
  • CONCLUSION: These results suggest that studies evaluating the effects of doxycycline PEP should include the effects of doxycycline on resistance not only to doxycycline but also to other antimicrobials and in a broader array of bacterial species than has been included in doxycycline PEP studies thus far.

  • Resistance develops much less frequently with fourth-generation cephalosporins because they are relatively stable to AmpC beta-lactamase but not (so far) to the less frequently encountered ESBLs (see Medical Care). (medscape.com)
  • Els estudis de sensibilitat mostren que en les espècies amb una β-lactamasa cromosòmica induïble tipus AmpC (Enterobacter, Citrobacter freundii i Morganella morganii) no hi ha hagut un increment de la resistència a C3G, indicatiu d'una possible desrepressió de l'enzim, essent el percentatge de soques amb fenotip de desrepressió del voltant del 30% en Enterobacter i C. freundii i del 7,5% en M. morganii.
