"the resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae against penicillin and other antibiotics"
resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae against penicillin is considered to be of great importance. while low-resistant strains could be treated by penicillin, treatment of highly resistant strains is very difficult and needs broad-spectrum antibiotics. this study was performed in imam khomeini medical center, tehran, iran, from 1999 to 2001 to evaluate pneumococcal resistance against penicillin...
متن کاملComparative in-vitro activities of amoxycillin and penicillin against Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
Sir, In a recent issue of this Journal, Verhaegen & Verbist reported on the in-vitro activities of 21 -lactams against penicillin-susceptible and -resistant isolates of Strepto coccus pneumoniae. The results of this investigation are surprising because they suggest that amoxycillin is less active than penicillin against these strains. We have recently determined the in-vitro susceptibilities of...
متن کاملThe susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to levofloxacin and other antibiotics.
The aim of this study was to determine the in-vitro susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin, ofloxacin, amoxycillin, cefepime and cefuroxime. In total, 105 isolates (clinical blood and sputum isolates from 1995-96) were selected from the collection of the Department of Clinical Microbiology of the Chaim Sheba Medical Centre. MICs were determined w...
متن کاملIn-vitro activity of 21 beta-lactam antibiotics against penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
MICs of 21 beta-lactams were determined by agar dilution against 283 penicillin-susceptible (pen-S), 122 intermediate (pen-I) and 23 fully penicillin-resistant (pen-R) pneumococci. MICs of all beta-lactams increased with increasing MICs of penicillin. Clometocillin was the most active penicillin against pen-I or pen-R pneumococci. All oral cephalosporins except cefuroxime and cefpodoxime were l...
متن کاملComparison of susceptibility test methods to detect penicillin susceptibility in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
The increasing prevalence of penicillin-resistant Streptococuus pneumoniae urges for fast and accurate susceptibility testing methods. This study evaluated the comparability of three commonly used techniques; disk diffusion, E-test and agar dilution, to detect penicillin susceptibility in clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae. Fifty pneumococcal isolates, obtained from patients at the University o...
