Comparative in vitro activities of enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and marbofloxacin against Staphylococcus intermedius isolated from dogs
نویسنده
چکیده
Fifty strains of Staphylococcus intermedius were isolated from different pathological specimens originating from dogs during a six-month period. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns against three fluoroquinolones were obtained on 50 Staphylococcus intermedius strains. In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed employing the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). The sensitivity against enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin showed that 98.0% of S. intermedius strains were sensitive and 96% were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. One of the tested strains showed multiple resistance to all tested fluoroquinolones.

Comparative activity of pradofloxacin against anaerobic bacteria isolated from dogs and cats.
OBJECTIVES To compare the intrinsic activity of pradofloxacin, a new fluoroquinolone developed for use in veterinary medicine, with other fluoroquinolones, against anaerobic bacteria isolated from dogs and cats. METHODS One hundred and forty-one anaerobes were isolated from dogs and cats and comparative MICs of pradofloxacin, marbofloxacin, enrofloxacin, difloxacin and ibafloxacin were determ...
متن کاملComparative mutant prevention concentrations of pradofloxacin and other veterinary fluoroquinolones indicate differing potentials in preventing selection of resistance.
Pradofloxacin (PRA) is an 8-cyano-fluoroquinolone (FQ) being developed to treat bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Its mutant prevention concentrations (MPC) were determined for Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 at 0.225 microg/ml, and for Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 at 0.55 microg/ml. At drug concentrations equal to or above the MPC, growth (implying selective clonal expansion) of first-step ...
متن کاملHow to Treat Bacterial Keratitis
How to Treat Bacterial Keratitis Bacterial keratitis in dogs is a common disease that can be aggressive and may threaten vision. The exact pathogenesis is unknown. Culture of the cornea should be done when bacterial keratitis is suspected, and many suspected or confirmed cases are treated with cefazolin and tobramycin or with ciprofloxacin alone. All of these regimens provide a broad spectrum o...
متن کاملIn vitro antimicrobial activity of marbofloxacin and enrofloxacin against bacterial strains isolated from companion animals.
Fluoroquinolones were originally developed for the Gram-negative aerobic spectrum, but the newer generation agents are also highly effective against some Gram-positive pathogens and cause few adverse effects. Owing to these characteristics, fluoroquinolones are often used in first line therapy in small animal practice. However, their widespread use has raised concern over emerging bacterial res...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteria Isolated from Cows with Mastitis in 2006-2007
The purpose of the study was determining the in vitro sensitivity of Streptococcus agalactiae, other Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Escherichia coli, and Arcanobacterium pyogenes strains to antibiotics commonly used in veterinary praxis. These pathogens were isolated from cows with clinical or subclinical mastitis in 2006–2007. The activity of 10–14 ...
