One hundred and fifty-seven strains of staphylococci isolated from various clinical specimens and 80 of Gram-negative bacilli from urine of patients with urological diseases were tested for resistance to antimicrobial drugs by microdilution broth method. Among staphylococci, 50 to 89% of the strains were resistant to gentamicin(Gm), kanamycin(Km), erythromycin(Em), nalidixic acid(Na), and tetracycline. Ninety per cent MIC was lowest in ciprofloxacin(Cp), followed by vancomycin(Vc), trimethoprim(Tp), enoxacin(Ex), and norfloxacin(Nf) with the values of two ${\mu}g/ml$ or lower. Twenty-seven strains were resistant to methicillin(MR), with 24 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 3 of S. epidermidis. All strains of MR S. aureus were resistant to oxacillin, rifampin(Rf), Gm, Km, Em, Na, and Tc, and no strain was resistant to Vc and Tp. Almost all staphylococci isolated from urine were S. epidermidis and sensitive to most drugs tested without MR strain. Among Gram-negative bacilli from urine, Escherichia coli(43 strains) was most frequently isolated, and followed by Klebsiella spp.(11), Proteus spp.(10), Serratia spp.(10), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(6) in the decreasing order. The majority of E. coli and Serratia spp. were resistant to chloramphenicol(Cm), Tc, streptomycin, sulfisomidine(Su), ampicillin(Ap), Km, and carbenicillin(Cb), and 50 and 90% MICs of these drugs were also high. In Klebsiella spp., 54% or more were resistant to Cm, Su, Ap, cephalothin, and Cb. Proteus spp. were susceptible to most drugs tested, but Pseudomonas were resistant to nearly all drugs tested except Rf, amikacin, and moxalactam(Mx). All Gram-negative bacilli tested were found to be susceptible to Mx. New quinolone carboxylic acid compounds, such as Nf, Ex, and Cp showed very high antimicrobial activities against the majority of organisms tested except Pseudomonas, and 50 and 90% MICs of Nf and Ex were always equal or 2 to 4 times higher than Cp. Organisms multiply resistant to drugs were noted in almost all isolates tested. Twenty-seven strains of staphylococci were multiply resistant to 11 or more drugs, and 6 of Klebsiella spp. to 8 to 11 drugs. The most frequent multiplicity of durg resistance were 7 and 8, 12, and 13 in E. coli, Serratia spp., and Pseudomonas, respectively. No strain was resistant to more than 5 drugs in Proteus spp..

Background: Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae are the main cause of clinical mastitis in dairy cattle in Argentina, whereas coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) and environmental streptococci are the main cause of subclinical mastitis. Bacteria isolated from infected animals show increasing antimicrobial resistance. Objectives: This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci and streptococci isolated from milk with mastitis, and to genotypically characterize the methicillin-resistant (MR) staphylococci. Methods: Isolation was performed on blood agar and identification was based on biochemical reactions. Antimicrobial susceptibility was according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. The antimicrobial resistance genes, SCCmec type and spa type were detected by the polymerase chain reaction method. Results: We isolated a total of 185 staphylococci and 28 streptococci from 148 milk samples. Among the staphylococcal isolates, 154 were identified as CNS and 31 as S. aureus. Among the 154 CNS, 24.6% (n = 38) were resistant to penicillin, 14.9% (n = 23) to erythromycin, 17.5% (n = 27) to clindamycin, 6.5% (n = 10) to cefoxitin and oxacillin. Among the S. aureus isolates, 16.1% (n = 5) were resistant to penicillin, 3.2% (n = 1) to cefoxitin and oxacillin (MRSA). Six MR isolates (5 CNS and 1 MRSA) were positive to the mecA gene, and presented the SCCmec IVa. The MRSA strain presented the sequence type 83 and the spa type 002. Among the 28 streptococcal isolates, 14.3% (n = 4) were resistant to penicillin, 10.7% (n = 3) to erythromycin and 14.3% (n = 4) to clindamycin. Conclusions: The present findings of this study indicate a development of antimicrobial resistance in main bacteria isolated from cows with mastitis in Argentina.

Clinically isolated bacterial strains resistant to almost of all the clinically superior .betha.-lactam antibiotics can be used to screen the promising ones among the newly synthesized $\beta$-lactam antibiotics. To select the resistant strains, the susceptibility of 389 strains of S. aureus, 144 strains of coagulase negative staphylococci, 509 strains of E. coli, 115 strains of E. cloacae and 187 strains of P. aeruginosa to methicillin, ampicillin, piperacillin and gentamicin was determined. The susceptibility of 19 bacterial strains selected through the first screening to cefixime, cefotiam, cefotaxime, flomoxef, cepfirome, cefdnir, SCE-2787, panipenem and imipenem was determined. Four strains of S. aureus finally selected have high degree of resistance to almost of all $\beta$-lactam antibiotics used and also produce $\beta$-lactamases. These 4 strains of S. aurues can be used to screen effectively the promising $\beta$-lactam antibiotics among the numerous numbers of the newly synthesized $\beta$-lactam antibiotics.

The resistances to multiple antibiotics of strains of Gram-positive Staphylococci. methicillin-resistant Staphylo coccus aureus (MRSA), are now significant clinical problem. One of the major efforts of our laboratory has been the search and design and synthesis of novel lead compound for the purpose of obtaining highly potent anti-MRSA drug. Towards this end, we have recently reported the isolation of a potent anti-MRSA drug. (omitted)

뇌실염은 일반적으로 정맥 내 항생제를 통하여 치료하나, 불응성 뇌실염의 치료는 정맥 내 항생제 치료와 뇌실 내 항생제 치료의 병행이 요구되기도 한다. 이론적으로 항생제의 뇌실 내 투여는 정맥 내 단독 투여보다 뇌척수액에서 더 높은 항생제 농도에 도달할 수 있게 한다. 본 증례 보고는 기존의 전신 항생제 치료에 불응하는 폐렴 간균과 메티실린 내성 표피 포도상 구균에 각각 뇌실 내 겐타마이신과 반코마이신 투여를 통하여 뇌실염을 치료한 2례로서 이후에도 주요 합병증 등이 없어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Nasal carrige of Staphylococcus was studied in relation to its significance as a source of the Staphylococci that caused hospital-acquired infection. Due to the trend of the increasing r esistance of S. aureus to many antimicrobial agents, it is necessary to study the sensitivity to antibiotics of this infectious microorganisms. 50 persons from general hospital and 50 college students were the object of this study. The following results were obtained 3 0 Strains of S. aureus were isolated. The rate of S. aureus nasal carrying were 26% in college students and 34% in hospital personnel. S. aureus which showed resistance to penicillin were 90%, tetracyclin 43%, erythromycin 37% and oxacillin 17%. The number of penicillin resistance of S. aureus were 11 (84%) in college students and 16 (94%) in hospital personnel. The number of strains of penicillin resistant S. aureus which produced 13-1actamase were 9 (82%) in college student and 14 (88%) in hospital personnel. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) which showed resistance to erythromycin and penicillin G were 100%, tetracyline, cephalothin and clindamycin were over 40% respectively, gentamicin 20%, SAM 20% and chloramphenicol 0%.

Periodic analysis of local epidemiologic data of prevalent pathogens of blood culture can provide clinicians with relevant information to guide empirical antibiotic therapy. In this study, we analyzed a pattern of change of causative microorganisms and antimicrobial resistance at a tertiary medical center in Chungcheong province from 2003 to 2012, retrospectively. Of 70,258 blood specimens cultured, 6,063 (8.6%) were positive. Among the positive isolates, 95.9% were aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria, 0.1% were anaerobes, and 3.9% were fungi. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) (32.9%), Escherichia coli (16.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.4%), and ${\alpha}$-hemolytic Streptococcus (5.9%) were commonly isolated bacteria, and Candida albicans (1.4%) was the most commonly isolated fungi. Enterococcus faecium progressively increased but Streptococcus pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Proteus species gradually decreased over a period of 10 years. The multidrug-resistant microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), cefotaxime-resistant E. coli, imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IRPA) and imipenem-resistant A. baumannii (IRAB), were significantly increased. Therefore, there is a need for a more strict control of antibiotics and a more updated guideline for the treatment of bloodstream infection.
