1 | We compared a rigid (1-h) screening method for the detection of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity with the standard spectrophotometric CAT assay to determine whether CAT-mediated chloramphenicol resistance in Haemophilus influenzae could be determined upon primary isolation. | Chloramphenicol | chloramphenicol acetyltransferase II | Haemophilus influenzae |
2 | Of 58 H. influenzae cell sonicates, 28 had detectable CAT activity when the chloramphenicol-dependent production of free coenzyme A from acetyl coenzyme A was measured spectrophotometrically (standard method). | Chloramphenicol | chloramphenicol acetyltransferase II | Haemophilus influenzae |
3 | This 1-h test for CAT should prove to be useful for the early presumptive identification of chloramphenicol resistance in H. influenzae. | Chloramphenicol | chloramphenicol acetyltransferase II | Haemophilus influenzae |
