Sulfonamide Resistance in Haemophilus influenzae Mediated by Acquisition of sul2 or a Short Insertion in Chromosomal folP
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Determinants of sulfonamide resistance were investigated in clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae from the United Kingdom and Kenya. The mechanism of sulfonamide resistance in H. influenzae has not previously been reported. Eight isolates requiring at least 1,024 microg of sulfamethoxazole per ml for inhibition carried the sul2 gene, a common mediator of acquired sulfonamide resistance in enteric bacteria....
