In vitro activity of doripenem against Burkholderia pseudomallei.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values of doripenem, determined by Etest, for 110 isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei were 0.5 and 0.75 microg/ml, respectively. There were significant correlations between MICs determined by Etest and MICs determined by agar dilution, MICs determined by Etest and inhibition zone size, and MICs determined by agar dilution and inhibition zone size.

Investigation of the in vitro activity of tigecycline against Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis revealed that the inhibition zone diameters of tigecycline against all isolates were >or=20 mm and that the MIC50 values were 0.5 and 1 microg/ml and the MIC90 values were 2 and 1.5 microg/ml for B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis, respectively.
متن کاملNeutralization of Burkholderia pseudomallei protease by Fabs generated through phage display.
The isolation of therapeutic and functional protease inhibitors in vitro via combinatorial chemistry and phage display technology has been described previously. Here we report the construction of a combinatorial mouse-human chimeric antibody fragment (Fab) antibody library targeted against the protease of the tropical pathogen, Burkholderia pseudomallei. The resulting library was biopanned agai...
متن کاملDemonstrating the Protective Efficacy of the Novel Fluoroquinolone Finafloxacin against an Inhalational Exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a serious disease endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Antibiotic treatment is lengthy and relapse often occurs. Finafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone with increased antibacterial activity in acidic conditions in contrast to other fluoroquinolones which demonstrate reduced activity at a lower pH. Therefore, finaflox...
متن کاملIn vitro antimicrobial activity of natural toxins and animal venoms tested against Burkholderia pseudomallei
BACKGROUND Burkholderia pseudomallei are the causative agent of melioidosis. Increasing resistance of the disease to antibiotics is a severe problem in treatment regime and has led to intensification of the search for new drugs. Antimicrobial peptides are the most ubiquitous in nature as part of the innate immune system and host defense mechanism. METHODS Here, we investigated a group of veno...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of Tachyplesin 1 against Burkholderia pseudomallei: an in vitro and in silico approach
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is intrinsically resistant to many conventional antibiotics. Therefore, alternative antimicrobial agents such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are extensively studied to combat this issue. Our study aims to identify and understand the mode of action of the potential AMP(s) that are effective against B. pseudomallei in both planktoni...
