Tazocin (Piperacillin-tazobactam) Susceptibility Pattern in Nosocomial Infections
Background & Aims: Utility of antibiotics, such as third and fourth generation of cephalosporins and carbapenems, and resistance to these antibiotics in hospital acquired infections are increased. There are scientific data that support the application of Tazocin (piperacillin-tazobactam) as an empirical treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections. In our area there is not much informat...

متن کاملComparison of in vitro activities of levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, and piperacillin-tazobactam against aerobic bacterial pathogens from patients with nosocomial infections.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is a rapid worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, especially in nosocomial isolates. This study compared the in vitro activities of levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, and piperacillin-tazobactam against 208 aerobic bacterial pathogens that caused 197 nosocomial infections in 184 patients. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibili...
متن کاملPiperacillin/tazobactam Induced Myelosuppression
UNLABELLED Neutropenia, secondary to immune destruction or maturation arrest, is the most commonly described adverse haematological effect of beta-lactam antibiotics. We describe a case of reversible pancytopenia, with evidence of hypocellular marrow, after a prolonged course of piperacillin/tazobactam for 26 days. KEYWORDS Piperacillin; Tazobactam; Myelosuppression; Neutropenia.
متن کاملPiperacillin/Tazobactam (ZOSYN)
}iperacillin/tazobactam (ZOSYN, Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, NY) is the most recently approved combination of a [3-1actam antimicrobial agent with an inhibitor of bacterial [3-1actamases. In vitro and clinical studies have demonstrated efficacy in polymicrobial infections such as obstetric, gynecologic, and soft-tissue infections. Piperacillin/ tazobactam appears to be an appropriate drug...
