Antibiotics by class Generic name Brand names Common uses [4] Possible side effects [4] Mechanism of action Aminoglycosides; Amikacin: Amikin: Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Effective against aerobic bacteria (not obligate/facultative anaerobes) and ...
This database aims to provide a tool that is easily accessible to researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics and to medical practitioners as a reference for which antibiotic to use/not use in the treatment of an E.coli infection. [1] u-CARE is manually curated with 52 antibiotics, 107 genes, transcription factors, and SNP. [1]
Mecillinam is used in the treatment of infections due to susceptible gram-negative bacteria, especially urinary tract infections which are most commonly caused by Escherichia coli. [5] Mecillinam is active against most pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, except Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some species of Proteus. [6]
However, E. coli are extremely sensitive to such antibiotics as streptomycin or gentamicin. Recent research suggests treatment of enteropathogenic E. coli with antibiotics may significantly increase the chance of developing haemolytic-uremic syndrome. [12]
In countries where antibiotics are over-the-counter and obtainable without a prescription, the incidence and prevalence of CRE infections were higher. One study from Japan found that 6.4% of healthy adults carried ESBL (mostly cefotaximase)-producing strains compared to 58.4% in Thailand, where antibiotics are available over the counter and ...
Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Verotoxin-producing E. coli; E. coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain also 2006 North American E. coli outbreak; E. coli O104:H4, also 2011 E. coli O104:H4 outbreak; Escherichia coli O121; Escherichia coli O104:H21; Escherichia coli K1, meningitis
The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...
Polymyxin antibiotics are relatively neurotoxic and nephrotoxic, so are usually used only as a last resort if modern antibiotics are ineffective or are contraindicated. Typical uses are for infections caused by strains of multiple drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa or carbapenemase -producing Enterobacteriaceae .
