چکیده
The in vitro activity of three tetracycline antibiotics against 127 strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (Herella vaginicola) were compared. Almost all strains were susceptible to minocycline and doxycycline, whereas most strains were resistant to tetracycline.

In vitro activities of new beta-lactam antibiotics against Acinetobacter spp.
The in vitro activities of new beta-lactam antibiotics was studied and compared with those of other known agents against 51 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus and 23 isolates of A. calcoaceticus subsp. lwoffi. Of the new beta-lactam antibiotics, imipemide (N-formimidoyl thienamycin), ceftazidime, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, and piperacillin demonstrated good activit...
متن کاملActivity of minocycline against Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. anitratus (syn. Herellea vaginicola) and Serratia marcescens.
The activity of minocycline and tetracycline against 23 isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. anitratus (syn. Herellea vaginicola) and 178 strains of Serratia marcescens was determined by disk and microdilution methods. The results indicate that minocycline is highly active against this species of Acinetobacter, all but one strain being inhibited by 0.007 mug of the antibiotic per ml. Te...

During a 7-month period, from December 1986 to June 1987, multiresistant strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus were isolated from 25 patients in a respiratory intensive care unit. The biochemical characteristics defined two groups of strains, group 1 (14 strains) and group 2 (11 strains). Both groups had the same biochemical characteristics, but group 2 strains could assimilat...
متن کاملIn vitro synergism between carbenicillin and aminoglycosidic aminocyclitols against Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. anitratus.
Acinetobacter caleoaceticus var. anitratus is a nonfermentative, gram-negative bacillus that has been demonstrated to cause severe infections, usually in hospitalized patients. Since mild to moderate resistance of A. calcoaceticus to one or more aminoglycosidic aminocyclitols has been noted to occur, a study was undertaken to evaluate the activity of combinations of carbenicillin with either ka...
