In vitro activity of LY146032 against staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activities of LY146032 and seven comparative antimicrobial agents against 14 species of staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci were studied. MICs of LY146032 were less than or equal to 0.5 microgram/ml for all staphylococci, including oxacillin-resistant strains; less than or equal to 0.25 microgram/ml for all streptococci (except viridans group streptococci); and less than or equal to 4 micrograms/ml for all viridans group streptococci and enterococci. MICs were minimally affected by variations in inoculum size, and LY146032 was bactericidal against all species tested.

In vitro activity of RU 64004, a new ketolide antibiotic, against gram-positive bacteria.
The comparative in vitro activity of RU 64004 (also known as HMR 3004), a new ketolide antibiotic, was tested by agar dilution against approximately 500 gram-positive organisms, including multiply resistant enterococci, streptococci, and staphylococci. All streptococci were inhibited by < or = 1 microg of RU 64004 per ml. The ketolide was more potent than other macrolides against erythromycin A...

The in vitro activity of the fluoroquinolone CP-99,219 against gram-positive bacteria was compared with those of five other antimicrobial agents. Against ciprofloxacin-susceptible staphylococci and against streptococci, MICs were < or = 0.12 and < or = 0.5 microgram/ml, respectively. CP-99,219 was also more active than ciprofloxacin against ciprofloxacin-resistant staphylococci, most enterococc...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of telavancin against gram-positive clinical isolates recently obtained in Europe.
The in vitro activity of telavancin was tested against 620 gram-positive isolates. For staphylococci, MICs at which 50 and 90% of isolates were inhibited (MIC(50) and MIC(90)) were both 0.25 microg/ml, irrespective of methicillin resistance. MIC(50) and MIC(90) were 0.25 and 0.5 microg/ml for vancomycin-susceptible enterococci and 1 and 2 microg/ml for vancomycin-resistant enterococci, respecti...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of LY333328 (oritavancin) against Gram-positive aerobic cocci and synergy with ciprofloxacin against enterococci.
Gram-positive cocci are a major cause of nosocomial bacteraemias and are often resistant to most antibiotics. The emergence of enterococci with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin has created an urgent need for novel antibiotics to combat infections associated with these bacteria. In this study the in vitro activity of LY333328 (oritavancin), a semi-synthetic glycopeptide, was evaluated. LY333...

Teicoplanin is a glycoside antibiotic which consists of five closely related glycopeptide antibiotics with similar antibacterial properties to vancomycin that were first isolated in 1976. Teicoplanin is active against many gram-positive anaerobe microorganisms and is particularly potent against clostridium species. It is also active against most Listeria, enterococci and staphylococci including...
