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 ...1975806419
a study of the agglutinin response in 40 cases of bacterial pneumonia.comparison of the results of cultures from blood and sputum with those of agglutinin response in 40 cases of bacterial pneumonia and 36 controls suggests that a provisional identification of causal bacteria, for purposes of antibiotic therapy, may be made by the serological tests with much greater rapidity and comparable accuracy. a combination of these methods is recommended.1975806611
mycoplasma pneumoniae infection followed by haemophilus influenzae pneumonia and bacteremia.a 31-year-old, previously healthy woman contracted mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, proved by isolation and serologic titer rise. she was inadequately treated, and before complete recovery, she became ill with haemophilus influenzae pneumonia and bacteremia.1975807138
[tetracycline resistance in haemophilus influenzae is plasmid-linked].a strain of haemophilus influenzae resistant to tetracycline (mic 16-32 mug/ml) was "cured" of tetracycline resistance by ethidium bromide. dna centrifugation in cesium chloride + ethidium bromide density gradients showed the existence of a band of non-chromosomal dna molecules in the original resistant strain. this band was not found in lysates of a strain "cured" of tetracycline resistance by ethidium bromide. these facts support the hypothesis that in this strain of haemohpilus influenzae, te ...1975807346
[bacteriological studies on fosfomycin. antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo (author's transl)].we have examined the antibacterial activity of the new antibiotic, fosfomycin (fom) in vitro and in vivo. the following results were obtained. 1. fom showed a broad antibacterial spectrum. 2. the antibacterial activity of fom was enhanced in the medium at ph 6 and ph 7, and was also influenced by the addition of rabbit serum, calf serum, glucose-6-phosphate or defibrilated sheep blood to the growth medium, and by the size of inoculum. 3 fom showed especially strong bactericidal action upon the b ...1975807758
investigation of the repetitive sequences in calf dna by cleavage with restriction nucleases.calf thymus dna was digested with the restriction nucleases from escherichia coli carrying resistance transfer factor i, haemophilus influenzae rd and bacillus subtilis x5 (ecori, hind ii, and bsu, respectively) and submitted to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. about 10% of the dna migrated as discrete fragments in 8, 16, and 30 bands, respectively, superimposed upon a continuous distribution of various size dna fragments. the fragments within the bands are repeated 2000 to 160000 times in th ...1975809285
mapping of cleavage sites for restriction endonucleases in lambdadv plasmids.restriction nucleases from escherichia coli carrying the resistance transfer factor ri, from hemophilus influenzae, hemophilus parainfluenzae, and bacillus subtilis were used for the generation of specific dna fragments from lambdadv plasmids. cleavage maps were established for various plasmids containing different but overlapping parts of bacteriophage lambdadna by analysis of digestion patterns obtained in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the correlation between the plasmid cleavage maps an ...1975809288
inhibitory effect in vitro of sodium polyanethol sulfonate on the growth of neisseria meningitidis.the influence of 0.05% sodium polyanethol sulfonate on the growth of 24 strains of neisseria meningitidis in broth medium was examined; several of the strains were markedly inhibited. a paper disk method was evolved for screening the sensitivity of various bacteria to sodium polyanethol sulfonate on solid medium; the highest sensitivity was observed in n. meningitidis and neisseria gonorrhoeae. zones of growth inhibition were also observed in a proportion of strains in certain species of gram-po ...1975809480
[nitrofurantoin-test for the differentiation of bordetella bronchiseptica (author's transl)].bordetella bronchiseptica is primarily resistant against nitrofurantoin (mic greater than 200 mug/ml), and this feature can be used for the differentiation of the organism from other gram-negative coccobacteria. nitrofurantoin paper disks (300 mug) failed to affect the growth of 150 strains of b. bronchiseptica isolated from different animal hosts, but they produced marked inhibition zones in the cultures of the followingspecies: pasteurella multocida, pasteurella pneumotropica, pasteurella haem ...1975809944

plasmid-linked ampicillin resistance in haempohilus influenza type b.four ampicillin-resistant, beta-lactamase-producing strains of haempohilus influenzae type b were examined for the presence of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (dna). three resistant strains contained a 30 x 10-6-dalton (30mdal) plasmid and one resitant strain contained a 3-mdal plasmid. the ampicillin-sensitive haemophilus strains examined did not contain plasmid dna. transformation of a sensitive h. influenzae strain to ampicillin resistance with isolated plasmid dna preparations revealed that th ...19751080132
fate of transforming bacteriophage hp1 deoxyribonucleic acid in haemophilus influenzae lysogens.the biological fate of temperate phage hp1 deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) was followed after uptake by defectively lysogenic competent haemophilus influenzae cultures. the similar inactivation kinetics of three single phage genetic markers and of their triple combination indicated a complete rather than partial destruction of about half of the adsorbed dna molecules. intracellular dna breakdown products were tentatively identified by hydroxyapatite column chromatography as short single strands and ...19751080148
single-strand regions in the deoxyribonucleic acid of competent haemophilus influenzae.the deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) of competent wild-type haemophilus influenzae and rec1 mutant cells contains single-strand regions, as judged by alkaline sucrose sedimentation, benzoylated naphthoylated diethylaminoethyl-cellulose fractionation, and digestion with an enzyme specific for single-strand regions in dna. in contrast, the dna of competent rec2 cells does not contain single-strand regions. since transforming dna does not associate with recipient dna in the rec2 mutant as it does in wil ...19751080149
capsular polymer of haemophilus influenzae, type b. i. structural characterization of the capsular polymer of strain eagan.the capsular type-specific antigen of haemophilus influenzae, type b, has been reported to have a unit structure composed of d-ribose and phosphate. recently, the presence of ribitol was found in preparations of type b capsular antigen. our analytical results show equimolar proportions of ribose, ribitol, and phosphate. periodate oxidation studies, paper chromatography of acidic and alkaline hydrolysates, and nmr spectral data indicate the structure of the capular antigen of h. influenzae b, str ...19751080151
effect of previous infection on antibody response of children to vaccination with capsular polysaccharide of haemophilus influenzae type b.children who had recovered from meningitis, orbital cellulitis, or epiglottitis caused by haemophilus influenzae type b were immunized with capsular polysaccharide vaccine derived from that bacterium; some healthy siblings and adults who had not had h. influenzae infections were also vaccinated. of 10 children who had had h. influenzae meningitis previously, only one had an antibody response to the vaccine. one child with prior h. influenzae orbital cellulitis also failed to respond. none of the ...19751080178

(2) rectocillin was administered to 14 patients with infections. the treatment was remarkably effective in 4 cases, and effective in 6 cases. in the cases with renal insufficiency, a daily dose of 1 g was e ...19751080214
nasotracheal intubation in epiglottitis.significant numbers of patients with epiglottitis have been treated using nasotracheal intubation. evidence is accumulating that this procedure is safe, effective and reliable when used in this disease. nasotracheal intubation should be considered a suitable alternative to tracheostomy in epiglottitis.19751080269
host specificity of dna in haemophilus influenzae: the in vivo action of the restriction endonucleases on phage and bacterial dna.in haemophilus influenzae strains only the type 1 of the restriction endonucleases have an in vivo effect on phage and bacterial transforming dna. the type 2 of restriction endonucleases which act very efficiently in vitro are completely inactive in vivo. the reasons for this inactivity is unknown.19751080342
infectious arthritis in the neonate caused by haemophilus influenzae.two newborns had hematogenous pyarthrosis due to haemophilus influenzae. one infant had signs of sepsis and dactylitis involving several fingers and toes. she also developed a soft tissue abscess, meningitis, and a septic hip, and was found to be infected with a nontypable organism. in the second infant, a shoulder traumatized at birth became infected with a type b strain. in both cases, the patients were successfully treated, but delays occurred in selecting the optimal therapeutic agent becaus ...19751080354
constitution of the cell envelope of haemophilus influenzae in relation to competence for genetic transformation.cell envelopes of haemophilus influenzae have been prepared by breakage in a french pressure cell followed by differential centrifugation. the envelope fraction may be resolved into an inner-membrane (light) and an outer-membrane (heavy) fraction on density gradients. envelopes from competent cells possess elevated levels of lipopolysaccharide with a composition different from that of log-phase cell envelopes. three apparently new polypeptides have been observed in envelopes from competent cells ...19751080485
minicell production and bacteriophage superinducibility of thymidine-requiring strains of haemophilus influenzae.aminopterin- or trimethoprin-resistant thymidine-requiring strains of haemophilus influenzae produce minicells, and the ratio of minicells to cells increases during the stationary phase of growth. strain lb11, isolated after mutagenesis of a thymidine-requiring strain (rd thd), produces more minicells than the parent strain. the mutations involved in high frequency minicell production have been transferred into the wild type (strain rd) by transformation. the thymidine requirement in the resulti ...19751080486
transfer of ampicillin resistance between strains of haemophilus influenzae type b.haemophilus influenzae type b, strain w-2, is highly resistant to ampicillin (mic, 12.5 mug/ml). the ampicillin resistance of strain w-2 was transferred to an antibiotic-sensitive strain tf-2 (rifr, smr) during mixed incubation on membrane filters at 36 c(transfeer frequency, 4.6 times 10(-5) per donor). resistance was also transferred from the primary recipient to a secondary one (tf-3, eryr, novr). the transfer frequency between these derivative strains was 10(-4) after incubation for 30 min. ...19751080495

mechanism of gap-filling during postreplication repair of ultraviolet damage in haemophilus influenzae.deoxyribonucleic acid (dna), pulse labeled after ultraviolet irradiation of excision-defective mutants of haemophilus influenzae, is of lower single strand molecular weight than that of unirradiated cells but approaches the size of dna from unirradiated cells upon further incubation in growth medium. this gap-filling process is controlled by the rec-1 gene. gap-filling occurs normally in a temperature-sensitive dna synthesis mutant at the restrictive temperature showing that normal semiconservat ...19751080760
an investigation of the family background of acute haemophilus infections of children.nose and throat swabs, for culture of haemophilus influenza type b, and blood samples, for measurement of antibodies specific for that serotype, were collected from members of 28 families from which children had been admitted to hospital with acute h. influenzae type b infections (mainly meningitis or epiglottitis). the patients with meningitis were younger than those with epiglottitis and had more siblings, with a marked predominance of sisters. investigations within a few days of admission of ...19751080769
r-factor mediated beta-lactamase production by haemophilus influenzae.production of beta-lactamase by 15 strains of haemophilus influenzae has been investigated. all the strains produce a constitutive beta-lactamase, which readily hydrolyses penicillin g, ampicillin, and cephaloridine. the beta-lactamase produced by these strains is indistinguishable from the type-iiia enzyme commonly found in strains of escherichia coli. the beta-lactamase gene has been transferred from the enzyme-producing strains of haemophilus to strains of h. parainfluenzae and a strain of e. ...19751080810
an haemophilus influenzae mutant which inhibits the growth of hp1c1 phage.a strain of haemophilus influenzae, called hpm- inhibits the growth of phage hp1c1 but not s2. this inhibition is overcome by hp1c1ph mutants. phage hp1c1 adsorbs normally to hpm- cells but only a small fraction of infected cells produce phage with a normal burst size or become lysogenic. when hpm- strains lysogenic for hp1c1 are induced, 100 percent of the cells yield phage. there is no degradation of phage dna after infection of hpm- cells and hp1c1 can normally grow when its dna is introduced ...19751080831
tests for the mutagenic actions of a number of chemicals on haemophilus influenzae with special emphasis on hydrazine.a number of chemicals have been tested for their ability to produce novobiocin-resistant mutants in haemophilus influenzae. of these, hydrazine (hz) proved unique because it induced a fairly high incidence of mutation without killing significant numbers of cells at concentrations ranging over nearly four orders of magnitude. moreover, its dose-effect curve increased very slowly initially and reached a relatively low maximum. it is suggested that hz may be acting as both a mutagen and an antimuta ...19751080833
