We characterized two new gene cassettes in an Acinetobacter isolate: one harbored the metallo-β-lactamase (IMP-4) gene bla IMP-4 , the other harbored the rifampin ADP-ribosyltransferase (ARR-2) gene arr-2 , and both arrayed with the aminoglycoside a

There were significant differences in antimicrobial susceptibilities in isolates of genomic DNA groups 2 ( Acinetobacter baumannii ), 3, and 13TU collected from the same sources, e.g., patients in intensive care units and general wards, and in isolat

Purpose To establish the incidence, etiology and risk factors for microbial keratitis (MK) in Hong Kong. Methods Two hundred and twenty-three new cases of presumed MK were recruited over a period of 17 months and comprehensive microbiologic studies p

Microbial keratitis has been studied in Hong Kong as a representative sub-tropical climate of south China. An 18-month investigation in 1997/98 of 223 cases of ulcerative keratitis (presumed microbial) was conducted in the 2 million population of Sha

Between 1994 and 1998, 97 imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter isolates were identified at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong, China. A bla IMP PCR product was obtained from 23 of 35 viable cultures; 12 isolates belonged to genomic DNA group 3, 8 be

In a previous study, we showed that Acinetobacter genomic DNA group 3 was the most common species among blood culture isolates and was commonly found on superficial carriage sites of the healthy and the sick, which are different findings from those r

We studied the carriage of Acinetobacter spp. at five superficial sites in 79 patients from two hospitals, in 133 healthy controls from the community (medical students and new nurses), and in 198 student nurses in different classes. A total of 431 is

Three hundred and thirty-three Shigella isolates obtained in 1986 to 1995 were tested for their susceptibilities to 19 antimicrobial agents. Nalidixic acid resistance had emerged in 59.6% of Shigella flexneri isolates during 1994 to 1995, with all te

An Acinetobacter baumannii isolate survived desiccation beyond 30 days and an Acinetobacter lwoffii isolate up to 21 days. For both species, desiccation resulted in a significant increase in the proportion of round cells (A baumannii, 40% to 80%; A l
