Gentamicin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

Changing Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs, and Resistance Typing in Clinically Significant Strains of Staphylococcus Epidermidis

“…Single strains of gentamicin-resistant S. aureus were reported in the 1960s (Pittman, Stone and Kolb, 1964;Lacey and Mitchell, 1969) The percentage of our strains of S. epidermidis resistant to methicillin was higher than has previously been reported (Sabath et al 1968), though predicted by Bentley (1973). It was not a national phenomenon; a high percentage was also found in international-study strains from abroad.…”

Gentamicin and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in dublin hospitals: clinical and laboratory studies

“…Gentamicin resistance in a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus was first reported by Lacey and Mitchell (1969). Such resistance was very rare until 1975.…”

Characterization of Gentamicin‐Resistant Respiratory‐Deficient (Res−) Variant Strains of Staphylococcus aureus

“…Resistant variants have been recovered following treatment with penicillin and related antibiotics (2,8,45) and aminoglycosides (21, 25 , 27, 28, 42, 47). Variants showing differing degrees of phenotypic variation from the parent strain have also been isolated from clinical samples (1,26) and the experimental induction of variants in animals has also been reported (29,31). In an earlier report Li et al (27) Resistance Profile of Res-Strains All of the res strains were tested for resistance to the antibiotics and divalent cations to which the parent strains were resistant (Table 1).…”
