Carriage of penicillin resistant pneumococci.
A survey of 303 urban and 156 rural children showed nasopharyngeal carriage of relatively resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae organisms in 14.2% and 19.2% of children, respectively. These organisms have minimum inhibitory concentrations for penicillin in the range of 0.12-1 microgram/ml. An analysis of 40 relatively resistant S. pneumoniae strains showed resistance to co-trimoxazole in 47.5%, tr...
متن کاملEfficacies of BMS 284756 against penicillin-sensitive, penicillin-resistant, and quinolone-resistant pneumococci in experimental meningitis.
BMS 284756 penetrated well into inflamed meninges (44% +/- 11%) and produced good bactericidal activity (-0.82 +/- 0.22 Delta log(10) CFU/ml. h) in the treatment of experimental meningitis in rabbits due to a penicillin-sensitive strain. BMS 284756 monotherapy had a greater potency than the standard regimen of ceftriaxone and vancomycin (-0.49 +/- 0.08 Delta log(10) CFU/ml. h) against a penicil...
متن کاملDaptomycin is highly efficacious against penicillin-resistant and penicillin- and quinolone-resistant pneumococci in experimental meningitis.
The penetration of daptomycin, a new lipopeptide antibiotic, into inflamed meninges ranged between 4.37 and 7.53% (mean, 5.97%). Daptomycin was very efficacious in the treatment of experimental pneumococcal meningitis, producing a decrease of -1.20 +/- 0.32 Deltalog(10) CFU/ml. h in the bacterial titer of Streptococcus pneumoniae against a penicillin-resistant strain and of -0.97 +/- 0.32 Delta...
متن کاملGemifloxacin is efficacious against penicillin-resistant and quinolone-resistant pneumococci in experimental meningitis.
In experimental rabbit meningitis, gemifloxacin penetrated inflamed meninges well (22 to 33%) and produced excellent bactericidal activity (change in log(10) [Deltalog(10)] CFU/ml/h, -0.68 +/- 0.30 [mean and standard deviation]), even superior to that of the standard regimen of ceftriaxone plus vancomycin (-0.49 +/- 0.09 deltalog(10) CFU/ml/h), in the treatment of meningitis due to a penicillin...
متن کاملAntipneumococcal activity of ertapenem (MK-0826) compared to those of other agents.
The activities of ertapenem (MK-0826) and eight other agents against a range of penicillin-susceptible and -resistant pneumococci were tested by determination of MICs by the microdilution method and by the time-kill methodology. For 125 penicillin-susceptible, 74 penicillin-intermediate, and 86 penicillin-resistant pneumococci, the MICs at which 50% of isolates are inhibited (MIC(50)s) and MIC(...
