In order to assess the clinical importance of R factors 524 "coliform" infections were studied in a general hospital. Of these, 95 were caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the remaining 429, 43% were caused by drug-resistant enterobacteria; resistance was frequently multiple and determined by transmissible R factors. Choice of therapy was thus limited but in every case at least one antibiotic, effective in vitro, was still available.
为评估R因子的临床重要性,在一家综合医院对524例“大肠菌”感染进行了研究。其中,95例由铜绿假单胞菌引起。在其余429例中,43%由耐药性肠杆菌引起;耐药性通常是多重的,且由可传递的R因子决定。因此治疗选择有限,但在每种情况下至少仍有一种体外有效的抗生素可用。
