چکیده
Nosocomial Infections: Coliform and Proteus bacilli currently cause 29 percent of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in the United States. In order of decreasing frequency, the major sites of nosocomial infection are the urinary tract, surgical sites, bloodstream, and pneumonias. This group of nosocomial pathogens are responsible for 46% of urinary tract and 24% of surgical site infections, 17% of the bacteremias, and 30% of the pneumonias. E coli is the premier nosocomial pathogen.

Azlocillin and mezlocillin: new ureido penicillins.
The activity of azlocillin and mezlocillin, new semisynthetic ureido penicillins, was investigated and compared with that of other known beta-lactam antibiotics. At a concentration of 25 mug/ml, azlocillin inhibited 74% of Enterobacter, 97% of Proteus mirabilis, 64% of Citrobacter, 91% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 82% of Bacteroides strains tested. Mezlocillin inhibited 86% of Shigella, 96% o...

Evaluation of the repliscan system for Enterobacteriaceae identification.
A total of 1,013 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were identified in parallel by the Repliscan (Cathra International, Ontario, Canada) and API 20E (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) systems. There was a 62% agreement at the genus level between the two systems. Of the 38% discrepant results, Repliscan classified 22% as "biochemical pattern not on file," 8% as a multiple-genus group which include...
متن کاملSynergy of azlocillin and mezlocillin combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics and cephalosporins.
Synergistic activity between both azlocillin and mezlocillin and aminoglycosides or cefazolin could be demonstrated by checkerboard dilution, isobologram, and killing curve techniques. Azlocillin and mezlocillin combined with gentamicin, netilmicin, or amikacin were synergistic against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Serratia, and indole-positive Proteus. Synergy was ob...
متن کاملComparison of the Phoenix automated system, the Etest method and broth microdilution in determining temocillin susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae.
Sir, Temocillin, a semi-synthetic 6-a-methoxy derivative of ticarcillin, has been shown to be clinically efficacious in infections caused by extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL)and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. It is licensed in the UK for bacteraemia, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and lower respiratory tract infections where susceptible Gram-negative bacteria are suspected or confirmed....
