In vitro efficacy of fosfomycin against clinical strains
Objective: Fosfomycin is an alternative drug for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. This study aimed to investigate in vitro activity of fosfomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillinresistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCoNS), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VR E. faecium), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Ent...
متن کاملIn Vitro Comparison of the Efficacy of Cumin Extract and Fluconazole Against Candida Strains
Background and Aim: Fungal infections are the most common opportunistic infections; when accompanied by widespread infections, such as acquired immune de-ficiency syndrome (AIDS), they cause a worldwide health crisis. Therefore, treatment of these infections is seen as one of the health challenges. Medicinal herbs can be used as rich sources of treatment due to their fewer side effects. Current...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of panduratin A against clinical Staphylococcus strains.
In vitro antistaphylococcal activities of panduratin A, a natural chalcone compound isolated from Kaempferia pandurata Roxb, were compared to those of commonly used antimicrobials against clinical staphylococcal isolates. Panduratin A had a MIC at which 90% of bacteria were inhibited of 1 microg/ml for clinical staphylococcal isolates and generally was more potent than commonly used antimicrobi...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of fosfomycin-gentamicin, fosfomycin-ceftazidime, fosfomycin-imipenem and ceftazidime-gentamicin combinations against ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The effects of antimicrobial combinations against ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from hospitalized patients were investigated. Using the checkerboard titration method, combination of fosfomycin-gentamicin, fosfomycin-ceftazidime, fosfomycin-imipenem and ceftazidime-gentamicin was synergistic against 4, 11, 38 and 39% of 22, 18, 29 and 18 strains tested respectivel...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of econazole in comparison with three common antifungal agents against clinical Candida strains isolated from superficial infections
Background and Purpose: Candida species are the most common organisms involved in superficial fungal infections, worldwide. Although econazole is among the most frequently used topical formulations for the treatment of candidiasis, no information is available regarding the susceptibility profiles of Candida species in Iran. Materials and Methods: In vitro susceptibility of 100 clinical Candida...
