Antagonistic effect of penicillin-amikacin combinations against enterococci.
Amikacin has been shown to antagonize the bactericidal effect of penicillin against strains of Streptococcus faecalis which produce aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase. The mechanism by which this phenomenon occurs was studied with an enzyme-producing strain (8436) and an enzyme-negative strain (8436c) derived by curing the former with novobiocin. Combinations of amikacin with beta-lactam anti...
متن کاملSynergy of penicillin-netilmicin combinations against enterococci including strains highly resistant to streptomycin or kanamycin.
The in vitro activity of combinations of penicillin and netilimicin was determined against 20 clinical isolates of enterococci and compared with that obtained in simultaneous tests with penicillin/sisomicin, penicillin/streptomycin, and penicillin/kanamycin. Synergy between the two drugs in each combination was determined by the use of quantitative kill curves and was defined as a killing by th...
متن کاملPenicillin-tobramycin synergism against enterococci: a comparison with penicillin and gentamicin.
Combinations of penicillin plus tobramycin have been compared with penicillin plus gentamicin against 27 strains of enterococci isolated from blood cultures. Penicillin plus gentamicin was synergistic against all strains. The combination of penicillin plus tobramycin was equally effective against strains of Streptococcus facalis, but was ineffective against all four strains of S. faecium tested.
متن کاملEfficacy of amikacin combinations for nocardiosis.
We isolated five bacterial strains from patients diagnosed as having nocardiosis. Bacterial species were identified based on the similarities in the nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosomal RNAs. Three of the five strains were identified as Nocardia asteroids, but unexpectedly other two were Streptomyces hygroscopicus and Rothia dentocariosa. The latter two species are not members of the family No...
متن کاملAgainst Enterococci
Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of four antibiotics and their combinations were determined for 38 strains of enterococci by a microtitration tube dilution technique. The drugs were ampicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, and streptomycin; the combinations were ampicillin-gentamicin, ampicillin-streptomycin, vancomycin-gentamicin, and vancomycin-streptomycin. At achievable serum c...
