Comparative activities of selected beta-lactam antibiotics against Haemophilus influenzae.

چکیده
The comparative activities of ampicillin, cefamandole, cefoxitin, cefaclor, and cefatrizine against both beta-lactamase-producing and non-beta-lactamase-producing isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were determined by using an agar dilution susceptibility test procedure. Ampicillin was the most active drug tested against non-beta-lactamase-producing isolates, whereas cefamandole was most active against beta-lactamase-producing strains.

In vitro activities of cefotaxime and moxalactam (LY127935) against Haemophilus influenzae.
The in vitro activities of two new beta-lactam antibiotics, cefotaxime and moxalactam (LY127935), were compared with those of cefamandole, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, and ampicillin against both beta-lactamase-producing and non-beta-lactamase-producing isolates of Haemophilus influenzae. Both cefotaxime and LY127935 were highly active against all isolates irrespective of beta-lactamase production.
متن کاملMorphological changes and lysis induced by beta-lactams associated with the characteristic profiles of affinities of penicillin-binding proteins in actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, which was formerly classified in the genus Haemophilus, is a pathogen causing swine pleuropneumonia. We found that aspoxicillin showed strong activity and that meropenem had better lytic activity against this pathogen. In the present study, we for the first time identified penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of A. pleuropneumoniae in order to elucidate the relati...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and neisseria gonorrhoeae to Ro 13-9904 in comparison with other beta-lactam antibiotics.
Ro 13-9904 has high in vitro activity, as does cefotaxime, against 57 Haemophilus influenzae and 60 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, including 5 and 11 beta-lactamase-producing strains in each group, respectively.
متن کاملEffect of inoculum size on Haemophilus influenzae type b susceptibility to new and conventional antibiotics.
Thirty-three Haemophilus influenzae type b isolates, including beta-lactamase acetyltransferase-positive strains, were tested by microtiter broth dilution for susceptibility to eight beta-lactam compounds and chloramphenicol. All antibiotics except ampicillin and chloramphenicol were highly bactericidal against all isolates at an inoculum of 10(5) CFU/ml. However, at an inoculum of 10(5) CFU/ml...
متن کاملActivity of LBM415 compared to those of 11 other agents against Haemophilus species.
When tested against 254 Haemophilus influenzae strains, LBM415, a peptide deformylase inhibitor, gave MIC50 and MIC90 values of 2.0 microg/ml and 8.0 microg/ml, respectively. The MICs were independent of beta-lactam or quinolone susceptibility and the presence or absence of macrolide efflux or ribosomal protein mutations. The MICs of LBM415 against 23 H. parainfluenzae strains were similar to t...
