[Antibiotic sensitivity of forty-four strains of group EF4 bacteria: study of minimum inhibitory concentrations using the agar dilution method].

EF4 bacteria are found in animal saliva and may contaminate bite wounds. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of 36 antimicrobials against 44 EF4 strains were determined using dilution in Mueller-Hinton agar. EF4 bacteria were susceptible to aminopenicillins, carboxypenicillins, ureidopenicillins, third-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, rifampicin, and trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole. Susceptibility was intermediate for penicillin G, low for macrolides and variable for aminoglycosides. EF4 bacteria were resistant to lincomycin and trimethoprime. Routine prophylactic treatment of bite-induced Pasteurella infections using an aminopenicillin or a cycline also protects against EF4 infection of the wound.

[Sensitivity to an amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination, of deep tonsillar flora isolated in chronic tonsillitis].

Deep tonsillar flora were identified in tonsils removed from 48 patients, children and adults, with chronic tonsillitis and recurrent sore throats or obstructive hypertrophy. Most specimens (38/48) cultured multiple germs (2 to 5 different species) with aerobic and anaerobic Gram+ and Gram-forms, some being beta-lactamase producers. Of the total of 135 strains isolated, 104 were aerobic and 31 anaerobic. The species of aerobic germs most frequently isolated were: Apart from alpha-hemolytic streptococci of undertermined group (38 strains), Haemophilus sp. : 14 (including 3 beta-lactamase + strains), Staphylococcus aureus: 15 (including 11 beta-lactamase + strains), Streptococcus A : 10, Enterobacteriaceae : 6, Neisseria sp. : 8 (including 1 beta-lactamase + strain). And among the anaerobic germs: Peptococcus : 3, Veillonella alc : 10, Fusobacterium nucleatum : 9, Bacteroides melaninogenicus : 6, Other Bacteroides : 2. Of the 127 strains tested, 102 were sensitive to amoxicillin and 121 to amoxicillin and clavulanic acid combination. The presence of a beta-lactamase producing bacterium in 1 of 3 specimens suggests the risk of failure of treatment with penicillin, prescribed classically for this type of affection.

[Antibiotic sensitivity of Pasteurella multocida and related bacteria (bacterial groups M5 and EF4). Studies of minimal inhibitory concentrations by agar dilution].

We have been isolating Pasteurella multocida and similar germs increasingly during the last few years: due to the rabies coming back in Eastern France, more consultations have been held following animal bites; samples are then taken for a bacteriologic research. We have studied their sensitivity towards 30 antibiotics. The determination of the MIC was achieved through the agar dilution method on 34 Pasteurella multocida of human origin issued after bites and expectorations, 4 EF4 and 4 M5. The Pasteurella are very sensitive to: beta-lactam antibiotics (the lowest MIC were observed for ureido-penicillins, amino-benzylpenicillins and third generation cephalosporins), chloramphenicol, cyclines and quinolones. Fosfomycin colistin and aminoglycosides are also active but with higher MIC. The macrolides have got a slow or no activity at all. The M5 are susceptible to the same antibiotics as Pasteurella but with slightly higher concentrations. Regarding EF4, minor sensitivity or resistance to penicillin G, cephalothin and cefamandole can be pointed out.
