Identification of multiple clones of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in the United States.

McDougal, L K, Rasheed, J K, Biddle, J W, Tenover, F C

We characterized 12 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with various levels of susceptibility of penicillin and extended-spectrum cephalosporins by antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, serotypes,...

High-level tetracycline resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is result of acquisition of streptococcal tetM determinant.

Morse, S A, Johnson, S R, Biddle, J W, Roberts, M C

Recently, strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been isolated which are highly resistant to tetracycline (MICs of 16 to 64 micrograms/ml). This resistance was due to the acquisition of the resistance...

Characterization of concatemeric plasmids of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Johnson, S R, Anderson, B E, Biddle, J W, Perkins, G H, DeWitt, W E

Three strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae carried novel plasmids of 7.8 megadaltons (mdal) molecular mass in addition to plasmids previously observed in this organism. The presence of the 7.8-mdal...

Evaluation of Biolog for identification of members of the family Micrococcaceae.

Miller, J M, Biddle, J W, Quenzer, V K, McLaughlin, J C

The Biolog Identification System (Biolog, Inc., Hayward, Calif.) was challenged at two separate laboratories with 113 coded isolates, including 33 type strains of staphylococci, 5 strains of...

Lectin characterization of gonococci from an outbreak caused by penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Schalla, W O, Rice, R J, Biddle, J W, Jeanlouis, Y, Larsen, S A, Whittington, W L

A total of 40 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates, representing 19 penicillin-resistant isolates (from 8 heterosexual patients and 11 homosexual patients) and 21 penicillin-susceptible isolates (from 15...

Culture medium for confirmation of penicillin-resistant and penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Perine, P L, Westbrook, W G, Biddle, J W, Lewis, J S, Martin, J E

A culture method for the isolation and identification of penicillinase (beta-lactamase)-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) was evaluated in the Philippines where PPNG are common. The method uses...

Isolation and identification of Haemophilus ducreyi in a clinical study.

Sottnek, F O, Biddle, J W, Kraus, S J, Weaver, R E, Stewart, J A

Seventeen strains of Haemophilus ducreyi were isolated from genital lesions which were negative for syphilis by dark-field examination. Media used for primary isolation at various times during the...

In Vitro Activity of Rosamicin, Josamycin, Erythromycin, and Clindamycin Against β-Lactamase-Negative and β-Lactamase-Positive Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biddle, J. W., Thornsberry, Clyde

Randomly selected strains of β-lactamase-negative and β-lactamase-positive Neisseria gonorrhoeae were tested by an agar dilution method for susceptibility to rosamicin, josamycin, erythromycin,...
