Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from 1958 to 1982 in Sweden. 1985

S Larsson, and M H Walder, and S N Cronberg, and A B Forsgren, and T Moestrup

Antibiotic susceptibility was studied in 175 clinical isolates of Listeria monocytogenes. There were no major changes in the susceptibility of strains between 1958 and 1982. Benzylpenicillin and ampicillin had MICs for 90% of the strains (MIC90) of 0.5 micrograms/ml. Gentamicin also had good activity against L. monocytogenes, with an MIC90 of 1.0 microgram/ml. All the new beta-lactamase-stable cephalosporins tested had relatively poor activity against L. monocytogenes. Of the bacteriostatic antibiotics, trimethoprim had by far the lowest MIC90 (0.06 microgram/ml), and in combination with sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole), it had an MIC90 of 0.5 microgram/ml. Both erythromycin and doxycycline had low MIC90s (0.25 microgram/ml).

D008089	Listeria monocytogenes	A species of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. It has been isolated from sewage, soil, silage, and from feces of healthy animals and man. Infection with this bacterium leads to encephalitis, meningitis, endocarditis, and abortion.

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
