In vitro susceptibility of Pseudomanas cepacia and Pseudomonas maltophilia to trimethoprim and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Our earlier studies had shown that the two pseudomonads, Pseudomonas cepacia and Pseudomonas maltophilia, were organisms that were highly resistant to most antibiotics. The present study was undertaken to determine the susceptibility of these bacteria to trimethoprim and the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination which has been used with apparent success in treating infections caused by thes...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment of Pseudomonas cepacia endocarditis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
A patient with a history of alcoholism and drug abuse who developed Pseudomonas cepacia endocarditis is described. The organism was found to be resistant in vitro to all common antimicrobial agents except chloramphenicol and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Treatment failed with penicillin and streptomycin and later with chloramphenicol. Orally administered trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, however,...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Pseudomonas species to carbenicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
We compared susceptibility tests of 47 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates and 40 Pseudomonas species to carbenicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole by the MS-2 and Sceptor systems and agar dilution. The major and very major errors encountered in these tests in the MS-2 and Sceptor systems raise doubts about the accuracy of these methods for testing P. aeruginosa and confirm that they should no...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of dihydrofolate reductase from trimethoprim-susceptible and trimethoprim-resistant Pseudomonas cepacia.
Trimethoprim resistance was investigated in cystic fibrosis isolates of Pseudomonas cepacia. Determination of the MIC of trimethoprim for 111 strains revealed at least two populations of resistant organisms, suggesting the presence of more than one mechanism of resistance. Investigation of the antibiotic target, dihydrofolate reductase, was undertaken in both a susceptible strain and a strain w...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Thirty-four strains of Haemophilus influenzae (20 ampicillin sensitive and 14 ampicillin resistant), mostly type b isolates from cerebrospinal fluid or blood, were tested for susceptibility to a combination of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) in a ratio of 1 part TMP to 19 parts SMZ. All strains were very susceptible to the TMP-SMZ combination, with minimal inhibitory concentrations rang...
