Antimicrobial susceptibility of intracellular Legionella pneumophila.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimum inhibitory concentrations, minimum bactericidal concentrations, and killing curve assays were measured after Legionella pneumophila was grown in human lung fibroblasts. Results of susceptibility testing of organisms grown intracellularly are compared with results for organisms grown by standard tube dilution methods.

Effect of quinolones and other antimicrobial agents on cell-associated Legionella pneumophila.
We evaluated the in vitro susceptibility of Legionella pneumophila ATCC 33152 (serogroup I) to 13 antibiotics alone and in combination with rifampin (0.1 mg/liter) by three methods. Extracellular susceptibility was determined by MIC determinations and time kill curves in buffered yeast extract broth, while intracellular susceptibility was determined by peripheral human monocytes in RPMI 1640 cu...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Intracellular Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Legionella pneumophila.
Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen that causes a severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Notably, in the human host, the organism is believed to replicate solely within an intracellular compartment, predominantly within pulmonary macrophages. Consequently, successful therapy is predicated on antimicrobials penetrating into this intracellular growth n...
متن کاملThe Different Antibacterial Impact of Silver Nanoparticles Against Legionella pneumophila Compared to Other Microorganisms
Legionella pneumophila is the pathogen responsible for severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. Legionella can live under varied stress conditions, especially in cold environments, and is common in many artificial environments. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles, prepared using the culture supernatant of Klebsiella pneumoniae, was evaluated agains...
متن کاملPharmacodynamic studies of moxifloxacin and erythromycin against intracellular Legionella pneumophila in an in vitro kinetic model.
BACKGROUND Newer quinolones are highly active against Legionella pneumophila. Since this pathogen is intracellular, standard in vitro susceptibility tests may not accurately predict clinical efficacy. Few models for studies of intracellular Legionella have been described. In this study, we determined the pharmacodynamic activity of moxifloxacin against intracellular L. pneumophila in comparison...
متن کاملIn vitro and intracellular activities of LBM415 (NVP PDF-713) against Legionella pneumophila.
LBM415 activity against extracellular and intracellular Legionella pneumophila was studied. The LBM415 MIC50 for 20 Legionella sp. strains was 4 microg/ml, versus 0.06, 0.25, and <or=0.03 microg/ml for azithromycin, erythromycin, and levofloxacin, respectively. LBM415 (0.5 and 16 microg/ml) reversibly prevented intracellular growth of two L. pneumophila strains and was less active than erythrom...
