| in vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium fortuitum, mycobacterium chelonae and mycobacterium avium against some quinolones. | the in vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium fortuitum, mycobacterium chelonae and mycobacterium avium to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin was studied by the agar dilution method. all strains of mycobacterium fortuitum were inhibited by 2 mg/ml or less of these antimicrobial agents. concentrations higher than achievable blood levels were necessary to inhibit mycobacterium chelonae and mycobacterium avium. | 1987 | 3481302 |
| biochemical mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in a clinical isolate of mycobacterium fortuitum. presence of beta-lactamase and aminoglycoside-acetyltransferase and possible participation of altered drug transport on the resistance mechanism. | mycobacterium fortuitum was isolated from specimens of bone marrow from a patient with chronic osteomyelitis. this isolate was resistant to most antimycobacterial drugs, aminoglycosides, and beta-lactam antibiotics. cell-free extracts from the clinical isolate contained an aminoglycoside acetyltransferase and beta-lactamase. on the basis of substrate specificity, the former enzyme was identified as the acetyltransferase (3), subtype iii or iv. however, no positive correlation could be observed b ... | 1986 | 3485947 |
| characterization of beta-lactamases in mycobacterium fortuitum including a role in beta-lactam resistance and evidence of partial inducibility. | the beta-lactamases from the 3 biovariants of m. fortuitum were compared on the basis of substrate profiles, susceptibility to enzyme inhibitors, and inducibility in the presence of selected beta-lactams. despite differences in the distribution of beta-lactamase bands observed when enzymes from different isolates were subjected to isoelectric focusing, substrate profiles for the 3 biovariants were similar. all demonstrated a comparable broad spectrum hydrolytic activity for both cephalosporins a ... | 1986 | 3491556 |
| expression and some properties of beta-lactamase from mycobacterium fortuitum. | several species of mycobacteria have been reported to produce beta-lactamases, but only those of m. smegmatis have been purified and partially characterized. this study is a preliminary report of the presence of beta-lactamase activity in m. fortuitum, strain cow 18. a partial purification of the beta-lactamase has also been achieved. m. fortuitum was grown in either sauton or glucose-yeast extract medium (gym) and sonicated cells or culture filtrates were assessed for the presence of beta-lacta ... | 1986 | 3494588 |

| patterns and distribution of aminoglycoside-acetylating enzymes in rapidly growing mycobacteria. | cell-free extracts from clinical, laboratory, and environmental isolates of mycobacterium fortuitum, mycobacterium smegmatis, mycobacterium phlei, and mycobacterium vaccae were tested for the presence of aminoglycoside-acetylating enzyme and compared with enzymes from gram-negative organisms. acetylating activity was detected in all strains examined despite variable levels of aminoglycoside susceptibility. substrate profiles revealed 2 different patterns of 3-n-acetyltransferase. one pattern exh ... | 1987 | 3619192 |

| [structural and metabolic study of the mycolic acids of mycobacterium fortuitum]. | the biosynthesis of mycolic acids was studied in whole cells of mycobacterium fortuitum. at first the structures of the main mycolates produced by the used strain were established as diunsaturated and epoxymycolates. by using [1-14c]acetate as a radiotracer of the lipid synthesis, it was observed that the turnover of the mycolates during the exponential phase of growth of m. fortuitum is fast enough to make very difficult the identification of their precursors. if the growth of the bacterial cel ... | 1987 | 3816811 |
| ability of ciprofloxacin but not pipemidic acid to differentiate all three biovariants of mycobacterium fortuitum from mycobacterium chelonae. | when tested against 312 clinical isolates of rapidly growing mycobacteria, the quinolone pipemidic acid correctly separated mycobacterium chelonae (m. chelonei) from mycobacterium fortuitum biovar fortuitum but not from biovar peregrinum or the third biovar complex. the new 4-quinolone ciprofloxacin correctly separated all three biovars of m. fortuitum from m. chelonae and appears to provide a better taxonomic test. | 1987 | 3818939 |
| in vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium fortuitum and mycobacterium chelonei to cefmetazole. | the in vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium fortuitum and mycobacterium chelonei to cefmetazole was studied by the agar dilution method. at a concentration of 16 micrograms/ml or lower, 44 isolates (96%) of m. fortuitum and 8 isolates (40%) of m. chelonei were inhibited. | 1985 | 3857020 |

| mycobacterium fortuitum peritonitis in a patient undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis. | peritonitis, due to mycobacterium fortuitum, developed in a 15-yr-old young man undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis. although of low pathogenic potential, this rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium does cause human disease particularly in the compromised host and should be considered as a potential cause of peritonitis in the chronic peritoneal dialysis patient. | 1986 | 3956137 |
