The incidence of salmonellosis has been increasing in Hong Kong since 1989. The most common Salmonella enterica serotype isolated in 1994 was S. enteritidis. The antimicrobial susceptibilities and...
Emergence of multiple-antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Hong Kong.
Kam, K M, Luey, K Y, Fung, S M, Yiu, P P, Harden, T J, Cheung, M M
Two hundred four strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated in Hong Kong from January 1993 to May 1995 were analyzed for their antibiotic susceptibilities and epidemiological patterns. The ages of...

Seventy-two percent of 129 shigella isolates from two Hong Kong hospitals were Shigella flexneri. Twenty-six percent were S. sonnei, and there was only one isolate each of S. dysenteriae and S....
Ofloxacin susceptibilities of 5,667 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated in Hong Kong.
Kam, K M, Lo, K K, Lai, C F, Lee, Y S, Chan, C B
Of 5,667 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from the Government Social Hygiene (sexually transmitted disease) Clinics in Hong Kong from 1990 to 1992, there was a trend toward an increase in...
Detection of quinolone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Kam, K M, Wong, P W, Cheung, M M, Ho, N K
The present National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guideline for testing Neisseria gonorrhoeae quinolone susceptibility defines only a susceptible category for ciprofloxacin,...
A bacterial methyltransferase M.EcoHK311 requires two proteins for in vitro methylation.
The genes encoding EcoHK311 restriction-modification (R-M) system were isolated from a clinically-isolated Escherichia coli strain HK31. The entire R-M system of EcoHK311 is located in a 2.1 kb...
