The aim of this report was to study the evolution of susceptibilities of 1532 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter recovered over a period of 6 years. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 15 antimicrobial agents were determined for all the isolates. The respective percentages of resistant strains in the years 1991 and 1996 were as follows:...

Host defence, cationic antimicrobial peptides are now recognised as an important component, in most species, of the early innate and induced defences against invading microbes. They are small (12 to 35 amino acids), cationic due to the presence of an excess of arginine and lysine over acidic amino acids, and able to fold into a variety of different...

The recovery rates of group B streptococcus (GBS) from anorectal swabs (RS) and vaginal swabs (VS) that were enriched were compared to the routine method to determine the optimal procedure. Separate RS and VS were collected from women attending antenatal clinics. RS and VS were placed in 2 ml enrichment and selective broth. Swabs were inoculated on...

Reversed-phase, HPLC methods employing post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection were developed for the determination of the peptide colistin and four aminoglycoside antibiotics in feeds. Extraction of the analytes was by sonication and shaking with dilute hydrochloric acid. Post-column derivatization was performed using orthophtaldiald...

Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) involves the use of antibiotics to enhance the colonisation resistance of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This eradicates the Gram-negative organisms and fungi, if antifungals are used, which colonise the GI tract and subsequently cause infections in susceptible hosts. It has been used in patients who are ...

The minimum antibiotic concentrations for selecting an R plasmid in vivo were determined in germfree rates colonized by two isogenic strains of Escherichia coli, one of which carried an R plasmid. Seventy groups of three gnotobiotic mice were given low doses of ampicillin, colistin, flumequin, gentamicin, tetracycline, or streptomycin via drinking ...
