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. |
Comparison of Etest method with reference broth microdilution method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Yersinia pestis
Lonsway DR , Urich SK , Heine HS , McAllister SK , Banerjee SN , Schriefer ME , Patel JB . J Clin Microbiol 2011 49 (5) 1956-60 Utility of Etest for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Yersinia pestis was evaluated in comparison with broth microdilution and disk diffusion for eight agents. Four laboratories tested 26 diverse strains and found Etest to be reliable for testing antimicrobial agents used to treat Y. pestis, except for chloramphenicol and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Disk diffusion testing is not recommended. |
