Activity of DX-619 compared to other agents against viridans group streptococci, Streptococcus bovis, and Cardiobacterium hominis.
Against 198 viridans group streptococci, 25 Streptococcus bovis strains, and 5 Cardiobacterium hominis strains, MICs of DX-619, a des-F(6)-quinolone, were between 0.004 and 0.25 microg/ml. These MICs were lower than those of other quinolones (< or = 0.008 to > 32 microg/ml). Beta-lactam MICs were between < or = 0.008 and 16 microg/ml. Azithromycin resistance was found in most species, while mos...
متن کاملIn-vitro activity of quinupristin/dalfopristin compared with other widely used antibiotics against strains isolated from patients with endocarditis.
The activity of quinupristin/dalfopristin was compared with that of other widely used antibiotics against 355 strains isolated from patients with endocarditis. MICs were determined by a standard agar dilution method. Quinupristin/dalfopristin was inhibitory at 1 mg/L for all coagulase-negative staphylococci (n = 36) and for the majority of Staphylococcus aureus strains (n = 87). The activity of...
متن کاملDaptomycin activity against uncommonly isolated streptococcal and other gram-positive species groups.
A total of 1,356 clinical isolates were tested against daptomycin by broth microdilution methods. Daptomycin was active against seven groups of viridans group streptococci (MIC50 and MIC90 values ranging from ≤0.06 and ≤0.06 μg/ml [Streptococcus bovis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae] to 0.5 and 1 μg/ml [Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, and Streptococcus parasanguinis], respectively), b...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of gemifloxacin compared with other antimicrobial agents against recent clinical isolates of streptococci.
This study investigated the in vitro activity of gemifloxacin (SB-265805) against 50 recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae and viridans streptococci using the microdilution method. This activity was compared with that of the quinolone agents ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin, and with that of penicillin, ampicillin, cl...
متن کاملDetection of group D and viridans streptococci in blood by radiometric methods.
A prospective study was conducted to evaluate the radiometric detection of group D and viridans streptococci in blood, using three media preparations, Bactec 6A and 6B isotonic media and 8B hypertonic medium. All enterococci tested were detected by the 6A and 6B media. However, the 6A medium failed to detect 76% of the Streptococcus bovis isolates and 57% of the viridans streptococci, whereas a...
