Novel drug combination for Mycobacterium abscessus disease therapy identified in a Drosophila infection model.

J. Antimicrob. Chemother. 69(6) , 1599-607, (2014)

Mycobacterium abscessus is known to be the most drug-resistant Mycobacterium and accounts for ∼80% of pulmonary infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria. This study reports a new Drosophila melanogaster-M. abscessus infection model that can be used a...

Evaluation of cycloserine-cefoxitin fructose agar (CCFA), CCFA with horse blood and taurocholate, and cycloserine-cefoxitin mannitol broth with taurocholate and lysozyme for recovery of Clostridium difficile isolates from fecal samples.

J. Clin. Microbiol. 51(9) , 3094-6, (2013)

Cycloserine-cefoxitin fructose agar (CCFA), CCFA with horse blood and taurocholate (CCFA-HT), and cycloserine-cefoxitin mannitol broth with taurocholate and lysozyme (CCMB-TAL) were compared for recovery of Clostridium difficile from 120 stool specimens. Comp...

Isolation of Clostridium difficile from faecal specimens--a comparison of chromID C. difficile agar and cycloserine-cefoxitin-fructose agar.

J. Med. Microbiol. 62(Pt 9) , 1423-7, (2013)

The culture of toxigenic Clostridium difficile from stool specimens is still seen as the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI). bioMérieux have released ChromID Cdiff chromogenic agar (CDIF) for the isolation and identific...

Positive culture for extended-spectrum β-lactamase during acute prostatitis after prostate biopsy is a risk factor for progression to chronic prostatitis.

Urology 81(6) , 1209-12, (2013)

To analyze whether strains positive for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) affected the clinical course and progression to chronic prostatitis in patients with postbiopsy acute prostatitis.From 2002 to 2011, 3657 patients underwent transrectal ultrasound-gu...

Mycobacterium fortuitum peritonitis in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

[Detection of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase in clinical isolates of cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae].

Mikrobiyol. Bul. 46(3) , 375-85, (2012)

Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) or AmpC beta-lactamases may be associated with false cephalosporin susceptibility results. Although there are well-established methods for screening and confirmation of class A (ESBL) and class B metallobeta-lactamases...

Isolation and characterization of Aeromonas schubertii from diseased snakehead, Channa maculata (Lacepède).

J. Fish Dis. 35(6) , 421-30, (2012)

Pure bacterial cultures were isolated from diseased snakeheads, Channa maculata (Lacepède), suffering high mortality in a farm in Zhongshan, southern China. Three isolates, namely ZS20100725, ZS20100725-1 and ZS20100725-2, were identified as Aeromonas schuber...

Analysis of borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA) strains isolated in Tunisia.

J. Clin. Microbiol. 50(10) , 3345-8, (2012)

Twenty-three strains of Staphylococcus aureus with borderline resistance to oxacillin were studied. These strains were not detected by the cefoxitin test, tests for penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), mecA, and mecA(LGA251) were negative, and the strains w...

Properties of a novel PBP2A protein homolog from Staphylococcus aureus strain LGA251 and its contribution to the β-lactam-resistant phenotype.

J. Biol. Chem. 287(44) , 36854-63, (2012)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains show strain-to-strain variation in resistance level, in genetic background, and also in the structure of the chromosomal cassette (SCCmec) that carries the resistance gene mecA. In contrast, strain-to...

Detection of oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive Staphylococcus aureus isolates by use of chromogenic medium MRSA ID.

J. Clin. Microbiol. 51(1) , 318-9, (2013)

Reports of oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive Staphylococcus aureus strains are on the rise. Because of their susceptibility to oxacillin and cefoxitin, it is very difficult to detect them by using routine phenotypic methods. We describe two such isolates th...
