Comparative in vitro evaluation of the effects of ticarcillin and carbenicillin upon Psuedomonas aeruginosa.

چکیده
An in vitro comparison of the effects of ticarcillin and carbenicillin was performed upon 164 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The two drugs displayed nearly identical inhibitory activities: for each, about 82.5% of the strains were inhibited by doses of 256 mug/ml or less. A low bactericidal activity was also observed. Strains of P. aeruginosa that were highly resistant to carbenicillin were also resistant to ticarcillin.

Piperacillin: in vitro evaluation.
The in vitro activity of a new semisynthetic penicillin, piperacillin, was determined against 577 clinical isolates of gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. A concentration of 12.5 mug/ml inhibited 92% of isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 82% of Serratia marcescens, 73% of Escherichia coli, 61% of Klebsiella spp., and 42% of Enterobacter spp. Most Proteus spp. were extremely suscepti...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of piperacillin in vitro.
The minimal inhibitory concentrations of piperacillin and seven other betalactam antibiotics were determined against 407 bacterial isolates. Piperacillin was found to be more active than ampicillin against susceptible gram-negative bacilli and more active than either carbenicillin or ticarcillin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and streptococci. Although piperacillin was active against Klebsiella...
متن کاملComparison and evaluation of ticarcillin and carbenicillin using disk diffusion methods.
Ticarcillin has proved to be two- to fourfold more active than carbenicillin against most strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Although susceptibility of the Enterobacteriaceae to ticarcillin could be predicted from results obtained with carbenicillin disks, neither the 50-mug nor the 100-mug carbenicillin disk proved suitable for testing susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to ticarcillin. Forty-thre...

Ticarcillin, carbenicillin and BL-P1908, a new anti-pseudomonal semisynthetic penicillin, were subjected to several in vitro comparisons-including minimal inhibitory and lethal concentrations (MIC and MLC), effects of inoculum size, effects of buffering the media and regression analyses of MIC and disc diffusion data. Whereas ticarcillin and carbenicillin showed comparable spectra of activity, ...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of ticarcillin, carbenicillin and ampicillin against some gram-negative bacilli.
alpha-Carboxy-3-thienylmethyl penicillin (ticarcillin) is a relatively new semisynthetic penicillin which is more active than carbenillin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the strains tested, those isolated from the respiratory tract showed an increased susceptibility to carbenicillin and ticarcillin. As with carbenicillin, synergistic activity against P. aeruginosa could be demonstrated wi...
