Antibiotic sensitivities of gonococci isolated in Rotterdam and results of treatment with cefuroxime.

چکیده
In a study of the efficacy of cefuroxime in the treatment of 278 cases of acute gonorrhoea (including rectal and pharyngeal infections and infections due to penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae), high cure rates were found for both male (98.8%) and female patients (98.6%). Disadvantages of this treatment are its high cost and the relatively high proportion of patients who develop postgonococcal urethritis.

Clinical experience in the use of cefuroxime in gonorrhoea.
Cefuroxime, a new antibiotic derived from cephalosporin-C which is very stable in the presence of beta-lactamases produced by Gram-negative organisms, was used to treat 856 male patients and 340 female patients with uncomplicated gonorrhoea. In men the drug was used in three different doses, 1.5 g, 1 g, and 750 mg plus 1 g probenecid; in women 1 g and 750 mg cefuroxime plus 1 g probenecid was u...
متن کاملAutomated ribotyping and antibiotic resistance determining of Bacillus spp from conjunctiva of diabetic patients
Objective(s): We aimed to characterize the phenotype and genotype of Bacillus spp isolated from diabetic patients’ eyes, by studying the drug sensitivity patterns with a disc-diffusion method. Materials and Methods: Fifty eyes of 25 patients with type II diabetes mellitus, with at least 10 years of diabetes history, were included in the study. We analyzed the eyes for the presence of Bacillus ...
متن کاملMultiple antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The sensitivities of gonococcal isolates to six antibiotics were determined for gonococci isolated in Philadelphia in 1972. The degree of association between susceptibilities to any two antibiotics was determined (coefficient of correlation). The correlation between penicillin and tetracycline (r = 0.75) was almost as good as that between two penicillins, penicillin G and ampicillin (r = 0.85),...
متن کاملTreating gonococcal infections resistant to penicillin in Bangkok: comparison of cefuroxime and spectinomycin.
Gonococcal organisms have become resistant to antimicrobials throughout the world. Such resistance is common in Thailand, where 40% of gonococci produce penicillinase (PPNG strains) and over half the remainder have MICs of penicillin greater than or equal to 1 mg/l. To evaluate the effectiveness of cefuroxime against such resistant organisms, a controlled clinical trial comparing spectinomycin ...
متن کاملA survey of the sensitivity of fresh clinical isolates to cefuroxime and other antibiotics.
The sensitivities to cefuroxime and cephradine of potentially pathogenic bacteria isolated in two British general hospitals comprising 900 beds have been assessed. In a three-month period 2537 strains were studied; 30 microgram cefuroxime discs were used with 2511 strains, and cephradine discs of the same strength were used with 2525 strains. The organisms were also examined routinely for sensi...
