[Transmission of resistance to 1st and 2d generation cephalosporins]. 1989

M Antal, and M Babálová, and M Balázíková, and V Krcméry

The authors investigated the incidence of transferable resistance in bacterial strains resistant to cephalosporins of the first and second generation in the course of two years in materials of the microbiological department of one of the larger district hygiene stations. They recorded the development of the first strains resistant also to cephamandol, although this antibiotic is not used at all in the above area, and in exceptional instances also resistance to cephotaxime. It was revealed that the transferable resistance to cephamandol is due to the presence of an enzyme which hydrolyzes this antibiotic. When using cephalosporins of the first generation, it is important to foresee an increasing incidence of transmitted resistance to these antibiotics and possibly some strains resistant also to cephalosporins of the second generation and in exceptional cases strains resistant to cephalosporins of the third generation.

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D004755 Enterobacteriaceae A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock. Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
