In vitro susceptibility of Clostridium difficile isolates to cefotaxime, moxalactam, and cefoperazone.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro susceptibility of 20 isolates of Clostridium difficile to cefotaxime, moxalactam, and cefoperazone was determined by a standard agar dilution method. The median minimal inhibitory concentrations were 64, 32, and 32 mug/ml for cefotaxime, moxalactam, and cefoperazone, respectively.

In vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of MT-141, a new semisynthetic cephamycin, compared with those of five cephalosporins.
The in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of MT-141 were compared with those of cefoxitin, cefmetazole, moxalactam, cefotaxime, and cefoperazone. The MICs of MT-141 for 90% of bacterial isolates were lower than the reference drugs against clinical isolates of Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium difficile, and Bacteroides fragilis, whereas against clinical isolates of other gram-positive, ...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activity of new beta-lactam antibiotics against anaerobic bacteria.
Several new beta-lactam antimicrobial agents have been introduced in the last few years. In this investigation, the in vitro activities of several recently introduced cephalosporins (cefoperazone, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and ceftizoxime), moxalactam, and N-formimidoyl thienamycin were compared with those of cefoxitin, clindamycin, and metronidazole against 203 strains of anaerobic bacteria. At...

The in vitro susceptibilities of 83 clinical isolates of Brucella melitensis to seven cephalosporins and a monobactam were determined. Ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, and cefotaxime were the most effective agents tested, with MICs ranging from 0.25 to 2 micrograms/ml. Moxalactam, cefoperazone, cefuroxime, and ceftazidime showed MICs between 4 and 64 micrograms/ml, with moxalactam being the most activ...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activity of moxalactam, cefotaxime, cefoperazone, piperacillin, and aminoglycosides against gram-negative bacilli.
The in vitro activities of four new beta-lactam antimicrobial agents (moxalactam, cefotaxime, cefoperazone, and piperacillin) and the aminoglycosides against 744 recent clinical isolates of facultative gram-negative bacilli were compared simultaneously by the agar dilution method. The major in vitro difference of these newer beta-lactam compounds appeared to be their antipseudomonal activity; c...
متن کاملInfluence of inoculum size on activity of cefoperazone, cefotaxime, moxalactam, piperacillin, and N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Forty clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested for their susceptibility to cefoperazone, cefotaxime, moxalactam, piperacillin, N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787), and gentamicin at three different inocula. At an inoculum of 5 x 10(3) colony-forming units (CFU) per ml, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (in micrograms per milliliter) for 90% of isolates (MIC90) were as follows:...
