ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and the occurrence of gene erm.METHODS ATB Staph and microdilute tests were performed to detect the susceptibility to 15 kinds of antibiotics in 50 strains of the S.aureus(SAU).Gene erm of these strains was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS There were no strains resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin,fusidic acid and quinupristin-dalfopristin in 42 strains of MRSA detected.There were no strains sensitive to penicillin,oxacillin,gentamicin,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.Thirty-five strains habored gene erm in 42 strains of MRSA.The positive rate of gene erm was 83.3%.CONCLUSIONS The multiple-resistance of the MRSA is a serious issue.The resistance to erythromycin in MRSA is mediated by gene erm which encodes the methylase and changes the target site of drug action.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the inherit gene and the pharmic efficacy by observing the apolipoprotein E polymorphism and the nylestroil effect in lowering serum lipids in postmenopausal women. Methods Ninety-four postmenopausal women were divided into three groups according to their types of the apoE gene: E2, E3 and E4. Thirty-six women who received nylestroil therapy were compared with controls, 58 women who had not received the therapy, in lipids, apolipoprotein E and lipoprotein(a)〔LP(a)〕. Results Compared with the control groups, the treatment groups showed an increase in HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein) and decrease in LDL-C(low-density lipoprotein) and LP(a). Though Group E2 showed an increase in the HDL-C and TG and a decrease in the LDC-C and LP(a), no significance was shown compared with the controls. Group E3 was increased in the HDL-C(2.7?0.9)mmol/L and decreased in the LDL-C (3.2?1.0)mmol/L and Lp(a) (0.4?0.2)g/L, and the differences were significant in HDL-C(1.7?0.5)mmol/L and Lp(a) (0.5?0.3)g/L compared with the controls. Group E4 was increased in the HDL-C (2.6?1.0)mmol/L and decreased in the LDL-C(2.5?1.6)mmol/L, TC and LP (a), and the differences were statistically significant(P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) isolated from clinical specimen and provide the guidance for the clinical treatment. METHODS The P. aeruginosas infection status from Jun 2005 to Dec 2007 was reviewed retrospectively,and the results of susceptibility test in 286 strains of PAE were analyzed. RESULTS The drug-resistance rates to gentamicin,cefotaxime,and ceftriaxone in PAE were all above 60.0%,and that to cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam sodium,amikacin and levofloxacin showing all higher sensitivity. The resistance rates to meropenem and imipenem were 17.1% and 18.5%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS P. aeruginosa is one of the main pathogenic bacteria in nosocomial infection. It's very important to strengthen the monitoring of drug-resistance of PAE and rationally antibiotics usage.
