Interpretive standards and quality control limits for susceptibility tests with ampicillin-sulbactam combination disks.

In vitro studies were performed to evaluate susceptibility tests with disks containing 10 micrograms of ampicillin plus 10 micrograms of sulbactam. Interpretive zone standards of less than or equal to 11 mm (resistant), 12 to 13 mm (intermediate), and greater than or equal to 14 mm (susceptible) are proposed. A nine-laboratory coordinated study was performed to establish tentative zone size lim...

Temafloxacin disk potency and tentative interpretive criteria for susceptibility tests.

Temafloxacin disk susceptibility test criteria were evaluated by testing 697 bacterial isolates. Either 5- or 10-micrograms disks could be used satisfactorily. A 5-micrograms temafloxacin disk with zone size breakpoints of less than or equal to 12 mm for resistance (MIC, greater than 4.0 micrograms/ml) and greater than 16 mm for susceptibility (MIC, less than or equal to 2.0 micrograms/ml) is r...

Ampicillin susceptibility and ampicillin-induced killing rate of Escherichia coli.

The killing rate induced by ampicillin was determined in 20 strains of Escherichia coli. The apparent generation rate constant for each E. coli showed a characteristic concentration-dependent course. This course can be mathematically described and is determined by four parameters. Three of these parameters determine the speed of the process, and the fourth parameter determines a minimal concent...

Correlation of in vitro susceptibility results for amoxicillin-clavulanate and ampicillin-sulbactam tested against Escherichia coli.

The results of amoxicillin-clavulanate (AUG) and ampicillin-sulbactam (A/S) susceptibility testing by three different susceptibility testing methods, the MicroScan, Etest, and Kirby-Bauer methods, for 61 consecutive isolates of ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli from different patients were compared. There was poor correlation of results for the two agents, the most and least marked discrepa...

Pharmacokinetics of ampicillin and sulbactam in pediatric patients.

Intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam is effective in the treatment of various infections in adults, but little is known about the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ampicillin-sulbactam in children. The objective of this study was to determine the PK of ampicillin and sulbactam in pediatric patients with intra-abdominal infection, skin and/or skin structure infection, or periorbital-preseptal and facial cell...
