| epidemiology of conjugative plasmid-mediated ampc beta-lactamases in the united states. | a sample of 752 resistant klebsiella pneumoniae, klebsiella oxytoca, and escherichia coli strains from 70 sites in 25 u.s. states and the district of columbia was examined for transmissibility of resistance to ceftazidime and the nature of the plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase involved. fifty-nine percent of the k. pneumoniae, 24% of the k. oxytoca, and 44% of the e. coli isolates transferred resistance to ceftazidime. plasmids encoding ampc-type beta-lactamase were found in 8.5% of the k. pneumon ... | 2004 | 14742206 |
| gentamicin vs cefotaxime for therapy of neonatal sepsis. relationship to drug resistance. | an outbreak of serious infections due to gentamicin-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae occurred in a neonatal intensive care unit in which the combination of gentamicin sulfate and ampicillin sodium had been used for standard initial therapy for suspected sepsis for nearly 11 years. after institution of control measures that included the substitution of cefotaxime sodium for gentamicin in the standard regimen, the outbreak promptly subsided. nevertheless, a second outbreak of serious infections due ... | 1985 | 3904403 |
