| microbial development of drug resistance: mechanisms and clinical significance. | bacteria have demonstrated a disconcerting ability to develop resistance to antimicrobial agents nearly as quickly as new compounds become available. during the past two decades the molecular bases of several types of resistance have been elucidated. mechanisms of resistance include the transference of genetic material either through conjugation (involving direct contact between microorganisms), or indirectly through transduction (involving bacteriophages). in addition to this "infectious" drug ... | 1975 | 806419 |
| trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections, including enteric fever and typhoid carriers. | forty-three patients suffering from typhoid fever, 11 from paratyphoid fever, six from bacillary dysentery caused by shigella flexneri, and nine carriers of salmonella typhi or s. paratyphi b, have been treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole compound. fifty-one of the 54 patients who had typhoid fever or paratyphoid fever responded satisfactorily to treatment. two patients with typhoid fever failed to respond and one died. in the patients with bacillary dysentery acute symptoms subsided rapi ... | 1975 | 805647 |
| comparison of the germicidal activity of prepodyne and betadine surgical scrub solutions. | two iodophoric surgical scrubs soaps, prepodyne and betadine, were evaluated for bacteriocidal activity in a modified phenol coefficient test. a standard inoculum of each of 18 species of microorganisms was mixed with a 1:8 dilution of each iodophor and subcultured after one, three, and five minutes of exposure. complete cidal activty was exhibited by both prepodyne and betadine. twenty-five subjects were tested in hand washing experiments using betadine and prepodyne surgical scrub solutions. q ... | 1975 | 805538 |
| in-vitro effect of edta-tris-lysozyme solutions on selected pathogenic bacteria. | the in-vitro effect of edta-tris-lysozyme solution on 16 pathogenic bacteria of medical or veterinary importance was determined. marked decreases in bacterial count occurred with pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, moraxella osloensis and campylobacter fetus, and smaller decreses with salmonella typhimurium, shigella boydii, aeromonas hydrophila, proteus mirabilis, listeria monocytogenes and erysipelothrix insidiosa. the test solution had no effect on klebsiella ozaenae, brucella canis, co ... | 1975 | 805241 |
| behaviour and indicator value of some microorganisms under conditions of soil contamination by pesticides. | the comparative effect of two organophosphorus pesticides (chlorophos and metaphos) on escherichia coli, an enterococcus and shigella organisms present in chernozem, podzolic, and loamy soils was investigated. a considerable level of resistance of the test organisms to the insecticides was established. this was expressed by their behaviour only changing on contamination of the soil samples with the insecticides in amounts considerably exceeding those used in natural conditions. escherichia coli ... | 1975 | 805171 |
| [vibriolysis in cholera and nag-vibrios]. | the causative agent of classic cholera, vibrios of the el-tor biotype and nag-vibrios produced on agar plates a substance which lysed killed indicator strains of the vibrios and the gram negative bacilli, but was indifferent against the gram positive bacilli. the action of the vibriolysins varied extending from the causative agent of classic cholera in the direction of saprophytes. | 1975 | 804789 |
