In 68 C. difficile strains isolated from feacal samples of patients with antibiotic associated diarrhoea (AAD) investigated presence of ermB gene transferable of high level resistance to clindamycin. The primers set 2980/2981 used for identification of ermB gene amplified a 688 bp segment. We used the Etest to assess all strains for susceptibility to clindamycin. This study demonstrates that 57% of strains isolated from faecal samples of patients with AAD were highly resistant to clindamycin (minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of clindamycin, 256 mg/L) and possessed the ermB gene.
在从患有抗生素相关性腹泻(AAD)患者的粪便样本中分离出的68株艰难梭菌菌株中,研究了可转移的ermB基因对克林霉素的高水平耐药性。用于鉴定ermB基因的引物对2980/2981扩增出一个688 bp的片段。我们使用Etest评估所有菌株对克林霉素的敏感性。本研究表明,从AAD患者粪便样本中分离出的57%的菌株对克林霉素高度耐药(克林霉素的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)为256 mg/L)且拥有ermB基因。
