| comparative in vitro activities of abt-773 against 362 clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria. | the activity of abt-773, a novel ketolide antibiotic, against clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria was determined and compared to the activities of other antimicrobial agents. mics at which 90% of isolates were inhibited (mic(90)s) were </=0.06 microg/ml for actinomyces spp., clostridium perfringens, peptostreptococcus spp., propionibacterium spp., and porphyromonas spp. the mic(50)s and mic(90)s were </=0.06 and >32 microg/ml, respectively, for eubacterium spp., lactobacillus spp., clostridi ... | 2001 | 11120995 |
| multicenter survey of the changing in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical isolates of bacteroides fragilis group, prevotella, fusobacterium, porphyromonas, and peptostreptococcus species. | in vitro surveys of antimicrobial resistance among clinically important anaerobes are an important source of information that can be used for clinical decisions in the choice of empiric antimicrobial therapy. this study surveyed the susceptibilities of 556 clinical anaerobic isolates from four large medical centers using a broth microdilution method. piperacillin-tazobactam was the only antimicrobial agent to which all the isolates were susceptible. similarly, imipenem, meropenem, and metronidaz ... | 2001 | 11257040 |
| gyra mutations associated with quinolone resistance in bacteroides fragilis group strains. | mutations in the gyra gene contribute considerably to quinolone resistance in escherichia coli. mechanisms for quinolone resistance in anaerobic bacteria are less well studied. the bacteroides fragilis group are the anaerobic organisms most frequently isolated from patients with bacteremia and intraabdominal infections. forty-four clinafloxacin-resistant and-susceptible fecal and clinical isolates of the b. fragilis group (eight bacteroides fragilis, three bacteroides ovatus, five bacteroides th ... | 2001 | 11408211 |
| cloning and biochemical characterization of a class a beta-lactamase from prevotella intermedia. | the gene encoding a beta-lactamase of prevotella intermedia was cloned and sequenced. this gene, called cfxa2, shared 98% identity with cfxa, the structural gene of a beta-lactamase previously described in bacteroides vulgatus. the deduced protein sequence had a k272e substitution. cfxa2 had the characteristics of class a, group 2e beta-lactamases. | 2001 | 11451705 |
| sequence analysis of the plasmid prri2 from the rumen bacterium prevotella ruminicola 223/m2/7 and the use of prri2 in prevotella/bacteroides shuttle vectors. | prri2 is a small cryptic plasmid from the rumen bacterium prevotella ruminicola 223/m2/7 which has been used for the construction of shuttle vectors (prh3 and prri207) that replicate in many bacteroides/prevotella strains as well as in escherichia coli. sequence analysis of prri2 reveals that it is a 3240-bp plasmid carrying two clear open reading frames. rep, encoded by orf1, shows 48 and 47% amino acid sequence identity with repa proteins from bacteroides vulgatus and bacteroides fragilis, res ... | 2001 | 11407918 |
| structural elucidation of a capsular polysaccharide from a clinical isolate of bacteroides vulgatus from a patient with crohn's disease. | the structure of a capsular polysaccharide (cps) from a clinical isolate of bacteroides vulgatus was elucidated. b. vulgatus imcj 1204 was isolated from feces of a patient with crohn's disease. cps was prepared by phenol/water extraction of the bacterial cells followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and then gel filtration chromatography of the extract. the structure of cps was determined by chemical analysis and nmr spectroscopy including dqf-cosy, tocsy, roesy, hsqc-tocsy, hmqc and ... | 2001 | 11389714 |
| brain metastasis: current status and recommended guidelines for management. | an overview of brain metastasis with respect to the pathological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects is presented. management is almost always palliative, with cure being a rare exception. evaluation of various therapeutic modalities--radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery--has been confounded by a lack of controlled, randomized studies whereby the relative benefit of the respective modalities can be assessed objectively. despite these limitations, some progress is being made in the identification ... | 2001 | 93255 |
