[Resistance to antibiotics of conditionally pathogenic enterobacteria of the genera, Citrobacter and Hafnia]. 1978

N V Balanin, and G K Kalashnikova

Antibiotic sensitivity of 363 strains of Citrobacter and 124 strains of Hafnia isolated from patients with acute intestine infections and healthy persons was studied. It was found that 44.6 per cent of the Citrobacter isolates and 36.3 per cent of the Hafnia isolates were resistant to one or more antibiotics. Different sensitivity of the bacteria of these 2 genera of the conditionally pathogenic enterobacteria to definite antibiotics was shown. The resistant strains of Citrobacter to negramon, monomycin, levomycetin, polymyxin, streptomycin and tetracycline amounted to 3, 6.1, 24, 14.3, 24.8 and 25.9 per cent, respectively. Among the Hafnia isolates the resistant strains to negramone, levomycetin, polymyxin and tetracyline amounted to 0.8, 8.9, 29.8 and 25 per cent, respectively. All the tested strains of Hafnia were sensitive to monomycin and streptomycin. Comparison of the culture antibiotic sensitivity with respect to the resistance spectra revealed 24 and 5 types of resistance in the cultures of Citrobacter and Hafnia, respectively.

D002954	Citrobacter	A genus of gram-negative, rod-shaped enterobacteria that can use citrate as the sole source of carbon.
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
