Safety of Cefazolin in Prophylaxis in Β-Lactam Allergic Children
Bezmiâlem Science, 2022 Objective:Cefazolin is a first-generation cephalosporin, particularly effective against gram positive agents such as staphylococci and streptococci. Despite this narrow spectrum, it is important in surgical prophylaxis.

Salicylate decreases production of AmpC type β-lactamases and increases susceptibility to β-lactams in aMorganella morganiiclinical isolate [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2004 The effect of salicylate, a marRAB inducer, on the resistance to β-lactams was characterized in an AmpC β-lactamase hyperproducer Morganella morganii clinical isolate (the M1 strain). Results were compared with those of the effect of salicylate in a wild-type M. morganii strain.

Antibiotic Resistance in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is Associated with Decreased Fitness
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013 The number of clinical specimens containing β-lactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates is increasing. However, whether resistance is associated with reduced fitness is still uncertain in clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. In this study, we

Impact of a structured interview on beta-lactam reaction documentation quality
Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2021 Incomplete documentation of β-lactam reactions often leads to inappropriate antibiotic prescribing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a structured interview on the quality of β-lactam reaction documentation.

β-Lactam induction of colanic acid gene expression inEscherichia coli [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003 An unexpected observation led us to examine the relationship between beta-lactam exposure and synthesis of colonic acid capsular polysaccharide in Escherichia coli. Strains containing a cps-lacZ transcriptional fusion were challenged with antibiotics having various modes of action, and gene expression was detected by a disk-diffusion assay and in broth

Involvement of O8-antigen in altering β-lactam antibiotic susceptibilities inEscherichia coli [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2008 In spite of being dispensable, O-antigens are believed to facilitate various cellular processes and alter antibiotic sensitivities. Escherichia coli K-12 (CS109) strains are lacking in O-antigens and are reported to be sensitive to antibiotics. To our surprise, E. coli 2443 (expressing O8-antigen) manifested two- to fourfold higher sensitivities toward
