[Antibacterial activity of rifampicin against the causative agents of suppurative, septic diseases]. 1977

L N Samoĭlova, and I P Fomina, and L E Bodunkova

The antibacterial activity of rifampicin was studied in comparison with other antibiotics with respect to clinical strains isolated from cases with various purulent inflammatory processes caused by Staphylococcus, E. coli, Ps. aeruginose, Proteus. The aim of the study was to define the role of rifampicin in the treatment of the above infections. No rifampicin resistant strains were found among staphylococci belonging to the phenotype carrying the determinants of resistance to 2-8 antibiotics. Rifampicin was less active against gramnegative organisms. High heterogeneity of the microbial population of rifampicin was shown with respect to all microbial strains tested. The rate of the spontaneous mutants was high. The average rate of the mutants was 1-7.7-10-8. The studies on the dynamics of the rifampicin resistance increase in the strains of Staphylococci, E. Coli, Ps. aeruginosa and Proteus showed that the resistance increased after 1-2 passages, which means that one-stage mutation was characteristic rifampicin.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D011511 Proteus A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that occurs in the intestines of humans and a wide variety of animals, as well as in manure, soil, and polluted waters. Its species are pathogenic, causing urinary tract infections and are also considered secondary invaders, causing septic lesions at other sites of the body.
D011550 Pseudomonas aeruginosa A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.

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).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
