Antibiotic resistance inHaemophilus influenzae: mechanisms, clinical importance and consequences for therapy

Abstract: Invasive and non-invasive infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae are frequently diagnosed in children below the age of 5 years. The treatment of choice for these infections was ampicillin. However, since the early 1970s the increasing prevalence of resistance to ampicillin and other antibiotics has necessitated major changes in antibiotic therapy. This article summarizes some of the important clinical features of diseases caused by H. influenzae. The epidemiology, the problems with in vitro susceptibility… Show more

“…The MICs of TMP varied between 10 and 200 mg/liter for resistant isolates in comparison with MICs of Ͻ0.5 mg/liter for susceptible strains. In other species such intermediate levels of resistance usually reflect chromosomal mechanisms of resistance, and this was also shown to be the case with the Haemophilus isolates, which showed overproduction of altered chromosomal DHFR (32)(33)(34). Later cloning and sequencing work comparing susceptible and resistant Haemophilus strains showed changes in the Ϫ35 promoter sequence to make it homologous to that of E. coli mutants overproducing DHFR.…”

“…The most recent example of this third type of chromosomal resistance was found with clinical isolates of H. influenzae (32,34,126). The MICs of TMP varied between 10 and 200 mg/liter for resistant isolates in comparison with MICs of Ͻ0.5 mg/liter for susceptible strains.…”

“…Treatment of such infections can be severely affected by antibiotic resistance. In H. influenzae resistance to antibiotics, especially to ␤-lactams, has, for a number of years, become a serious problem (6,15,30).Two main mechanisms are at the origin of resistance to aminopenicillins: enzymatic hydrolysis of the antibiotic and a change in penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). By far the more frequent is the production of ␤-lactamase, usually of the TEM-1 type but sometimes of the ROB-1 type (15,32).…”

“…Резистентність Haemophilus influenzae до ампіциліну й амоксициліну, а також до цефалоспоринів пов'язана з продукцією плазмідних ферментів ТЕМ-1 (пеніцилінази) β-лактамаз, що становлять понад 90 % від числа всіх β-лактамазопродукуючих штамів [19]. Крім плазмідної резистентності, у близько 8 % штамів резистентність до β-лактамів обумовлена синтезом хромосомної β-лактамази ROB-1 [20]. Було встановлено, що резистентність грамнегативних бактерій, у тому числі Haemophilus influenzae, пов'язана з біосинтезом мікроорганізмами ензимів, генетично пов'язаних з β-лактамазами широкого спектра.…”
