Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid zone size criteria

Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid zone size criteria.

Reassessment of susceptibility test interpretive criteria for ticarcillin and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid.

There are at least four different existing or proposed interpretive criteria for the disk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin and ticarcillin plus clavulanic acid (T/C). To assess these criteria, 570 gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested for susceptibility to ticarcillin and T/C by both disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods. These included 53 strains of the family En...

Intraperitoneal penetration of ticarcillin/clavulanic acid (Timentin).

Thirty-eight patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery were given 3.0 g ticarcillin plus 0.2 g clavulanic acid as a single intravenous injection at varying times prior to the operation. Sterile assay discs were placed on the peritoneal surface in order to measure peritoneal fluid levels of each agent. Simultaneous serum levels were also measured. A total of 38 serum and peritoneal samples ...

Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid for prophylaxis of postpartum puerperal infections.

Eighty-five percent of nulliparous women with rupture of membranes greater than 6 h and who are delivered by cesarean section for cephalopelvic disproportion develop febrile morbidity if not given perioperative antimicrobial agents (1-4). Several investigators have found that perioperative antimicrobial therapy appreciably reduces this complication of cesarean section in such high-risk women (1...

Disk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin plus clavulanic acid.

Disk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin plus the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid was performed on 489 clinical isolates, and the results were compared with reference broth microdilution susceptibilities. Four different disks containing 75 micrograms of ticarcillin plus 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 micrograms of clavulanic acid were evaluated. Based on test performance and clavulanic...
