Lack of antimicrobial resistance in Yersinia pestis isolates from 17 countries in the Americas, Africa, and Asia
Urich SK , Chalcraft L , Schriefer ME , Yockey BM , Petersen JM . Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2011 56 (1) 555-8 Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague, a fulminant disease often fatal without antimicrobial treatment. Plasmid (IncA/C) mediated multi-drug resistance in Y. pestis was reported in 1995 in Madagascar and has generated considerable public health concern, most recently because of the identification of IncA/C multi-drug resistant plasmids in other zoonotic pathogens. Here, we demonstrate no resistance in 392 Y. pestis isolates from 17 countries to eight antimicrobials used for treatment or prophylaxis of plague. |
