Rapid bactericidal activity of sitafloxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The initial bactericidal activity of quinolones against Streptococcus pneumoniae at the concentration equivalent to their respective peak serum concentration (C(max)) and free drug fraction of C(max) (fC(max)) were investigated. The bactericidal activity of sitafloxacin (STFX), levofloxacin (LVFX), moxifloxacin (MFLX), and garenoxacin (GRNX) were compared by determining the actual killing of ba...
متن کاملIn vitro bactericidal activity of the antiprotozoal drug miltefosine against Streptococcus pneumoniae and other pathogenic streptococci.
Miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine), the first oral drug against visceral leishmaniasis, triggered pneumococcal autolysis at concentrations higher than 2.5 microM. Bactericidal activity was also observed in cultures of other streptococci, although these failed to undergo lysis. The autolysis elicited by miltefosine can be attributed to triggering of the pneumococcal autolysin LytA.
متن کاملThe bactericidal activity of levofloxacin compared with ofloxacin, D-ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and cefotaxime against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The bactericidal activity of levofloxacin was compared with that of four other quinolones and one cephalosporin against four strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae with varying degrees of penicillin G susceptibility. Levofloxacin was found to be the most bactericidal quinolone at its optimum bactericidal concentration, followed by ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and D-ofloxacin, in that ord...
متن کاملAromatic Esters of Bicyclic Amines as Antimicrobials against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
A double approach was followed in the search of novel inhibitors of the surface choline-binding proteins (CBPs) of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) with antimicrobial properties. First, a library of 49 rationally-designed esters of alkyl amines was screened for their specific binding to CBPs. The best binders, being esters of bicyclic amines (EBAs), were then tested for their in vitro ef...
متن کاملBactericidal activity of levofloxacin against Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
527 percentiles calculated. 2 Applying the BSAC formula 4 to pharmaco-kinetic data (C max of ∼3.2 mg/L following an oral dose of 250 mg with a terminal half-life of 7–8 h), an MIC susceptible breakpoint (BP) of 0.4 mg/L was calculated. MIC data were reviewed to ascertain the ABT-492 MIC ranges for the 'wild sensitive' populations. For Enterobacteriaceae, In the case of staphylococci, the MIC ra...
