Specific type IV pili groups in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer, 2019)
The relationships between specific type IV pili (TFP) groups and antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and bacterial motility were determined in 190 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. While motility and biofilm ...
Antimicrobial drug resistance in Peru
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012)
To the Editor: In Latin American countries, rates of antimicrobial drug resistance among bacterial pathogens are high. Data on these rates in Peru are incomplete (1), and no institution in Peru has participated in multinational ...
Small qnrB-harbouring ColE-like plasmids widespread in commensal enterobacteria from a remote Amazonas population not exposed to antibiotics
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Sir, After a decade since discovery, a variety of qnr-type plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes have been reported worldwide, especially in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae.1 Recently, we found that qnr genes ...
Development and analysis of furazolidone-resistant Escherichia coli mutants
(Wiley, 2015)
Furazolidone-resistant mutants were obtained from four clinical isolates of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli. The stability of the resistance and the frequency of mutation were established. The minimal inhibitory concentration ...
Antibacterial, antifungal and antileishmanial activities of indolone-N-oxide derivatives
(Springer, 2012)
An alarming increase in microbial resistance to traditional drugs and classical pharmacophores has spurred the search for new antimicrobial compounds. Indolone-N-oxides (INODs) possess a redox pharmacophore with promising, ...
Molecular Characterization of Extended-Spectrum beta-Lactamase-Producer Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Causing Neonatal Sepsis in Peru
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is the most common cause of neonatal sepsis in the low- and middle-income countries. Our objective was to describe the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase ...
Molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli isolated from children
(Elsevier, 2012)
Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are an important cause of diarrhoea in children and are associated with high antibiotic resistance. However, there are few studies on the molecular mechanisms of resistance in this ...
Caracterización de Escherichia coli D7111 productora de β-lactamasa TEM-176
(Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2021)
The present report is the original description of blaTEM-176. The mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial agents were determined in an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, determining the susceptibility to 22 antimicrobials ...
Antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates from hospitals in Peru
(Elsevier, 2012)
Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are of worldwide concern. The present study describes the antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible ...
The use of antibiotics in the treatment of pediatric varicella patients: real-world evidence from the multi-country MARVEL study in Latin America & Europe.
(BioMed Central, 2019)
BACKGROUND: Varicella is a highly contagious childhood disease. Generally benign, serious complications necessitating antibiotic use may occur. The objective of this study was to characterize the rate, appropriateness and ...
