Characterization of tetracycline resistance lactobacilli isolated from swine intestines at western area of Taiwan. | To investigate the frequency of tetracycline resistance (Tet-R) lactobacilli in pig intestines, a total of 256 pig colons were analyzed and found to contain typical colonies of Tet-R lactic acid bacteria in every sample, ranging from 3.2 × 10(3) to 6.6 × 10(5) CFU/cm(2). From these samples, a total of 159 isolates of Tet-R lactobacilli were obtained and identified as belonging to 11 species, including Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus planta ... | 2011 | 21906691 |
high prevalence of inducible erythromycin resistance among streptococcus bovis isolates in taiwan. | susceptibilities to 13 antimicrobial agents were determined by measurement of mics for 60 isolates of streptococcus bovis from blood cultures. thirty-eight isolates (63.3%) had high-level resistance to erythromycin (mics, >or=128 microg/ml). among the 38 erythromycin-resistant strains, 21 isolates (55%) had inducible resistance to macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin b (imls isolates) and 17 (45%) had constitutive resistance to macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin b (cmls isolates). tetracycli ... | 2001 | 11709309 |
