Evaluation of Tigecycline Activity Against Methicillin-Resistante Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Biological Samples
Tigecycline is a new glycylcycline antibiotic structurally similar to minocycline antibiotic. It has broad spectrum activity, including Staphylococcus aureus infections. This is the first study that evaluated the activity of Tigecycline against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from biological samples in Iran. In vitro activity of tigecycline against 160 Staphylococcus aureus including 99 methicil...

متن کاملIn Vitro Synergistic Activity of Imipenem and Fosfomycin against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
The in vitro activity of imipenem in combination with fosfomycin against 17 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from hospitalized patients was investigated by checkerboard and time-kill studies. Of the 17 strains tested, checkerboard studies revealed synergy in 14(82.3%)and indifference in 3(17.6%): the time-kill studies also revealed synergy in 14 of 14 strains at ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates to various antimicrobial agents. II. Isolation of arbekacin-resistant strain.
Resistance patterns against 24 antimicrobial agents were examined for 50 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated at Hiroshima University Hospital during the period October 1990 and July 1991. Overall resistance (the percentage of highly and moderately resistant strains) to the antimicrobial agents is summarized as follows: methicillin 100%, flomoxef 100% (beta-lac...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of fosfomycin, alone and in combination, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
We tested 148 strains of clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus against fosfomycin alone and in combination with methicillin, cefamandole, gentamicin, trimethoprim, and vancomycin. Fosfomycin inhibited 90% of the 148 methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains at a concentration of 4 micrograms/ml. Synergism was observed in 97 strains (66%) with fosfomycin-cefamandole and ...
