In vitro antianaerobic activity of ertapenem (MK-0826) compared to seven other compounds.

چکیده
Ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem, ceftriaxone, piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, clindamycin, and metronidazole were agar dilution MIC tested against 431 anaerobes. Imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem were the most active beta-lactams (MICs at which 50% of the strains are inhibited [MIC(50)s], 0.125 to 0.25 microg/ml; MIC(90)s, 1.0 to 2.0 microg/ml). Time-kill studies revealed that ertapenem at two times the MIC was bactericidal for 9 of 10 strains after 48 h. The kinetics for other beta-lactams were similar to those of ertapenem.

This study compared the in vitro activities of the new long-half-life carbapenem ertapenem (also known as MK-0826 and L-749,345) with those of imipenem, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and ciprofloxacin against 5,558 recent clinical isolates from 11 North American medical centers. We confirmed the greater activity of ertapenem than of imipenem against the Enterobacteriaceae and the greater activity of...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of ertapenem (MK-0826) against 469 less frequently identified anaerobes isolated from human infections.
We studied the in vitro activity of ertapenem against 469 less frequently identified anaerobes from 11 genera and 52 species isolated from human infections. Ertapenem was uniformly active against 460 of 469 (98%) strains at concentrations of < or = 4 microg/ml. Only 4 of 14 Clostridium difficile, 1 of 11 Clostridium innocuum, and 4 of 6 Lactobacillus sp. strains required ertapenem concentration...

Ertapenem (MK-0826; L-749,345), a new carbapenem with a long serum half-life, was tested, in vitro, against -lactamase-producing bacteria. The new compound had a MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited of 0.06 g/ml for extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-producing klebsiellas, compared with 0.5 g/ml for imipenem, 16 g/ml for cefepime, and >128 g/ml for ceftazidime and piperacillin-tazob...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of MK-0826 and 16 other antimicrobials against Bacteroides fragilis group strains.
The activity of MK-0826, a new carbapenem, against 309 Bacteroides fragilis group strains was investigated and compared with that of 11 other beta-lactam and 5 non-beta-lactam agents. MK-0826 showed excellent activity (MICs ranged from < or =0.06 to 4 microg/ml). The new carbapenem may be useful in the treatment of mixed anaerobic infections involving B. fragilis group strains.
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(...
