| [antimicrobial susceptibility and prevalence of beta-lactamase producing clinical isolates in southern kyushu. the results of collaborative study from 1999 to 2000]. | the positivity of beta-lactamase and antimicrobial susceptibility were determined in a total of 1,358 clinical isolates at 15 hospitals and clinics in four prefectures in southern kyushu (okinawa, miyazaki, kagoshima and kumamoto) during the period from december 1999 to february 2000. the isolates collected comprised of 176 strains of s. aureus, 203 of h. influenzae, 102 of m. catarrhalis, 206 of e. coli, 153 of k. pneumoniae, 99 of e. cloacae, 95 of s. marcescens, 201 of p. aeruginosa, 79 of e. ... | 2002 | 12599533 |
| identification of enterococcus faecium and enterococcus faecalis as vanc-type vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) from sewage and river water in the provincial city of miyazaki, japan. | as a first step for assessing the risk to human health posed by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) in the aquatic environment, we screened sewage and urban river water samples from miyazaki, japan for vre. because vancomycin-resistant organisms are not as prevalent in sewage and river water as vancomycin-susceptible organisms, the samples were screened by minimum inhibitory concentration test using the vancomycin-supplemented membrane-enterococcus indoxyl-β-d-glucoside (mei) agar. the isolat ... | 2015 | 25438128 |
