Preliminary antimicrobial susceptibility interpretive criteria for cefetamet (Ro 15-8074) and cefteram (Ro 19-5247) disk tests.

چکیده
Preliminary interpretive zone criteria were calculated for cefetamet (Ro 15-8074) and cefteram (Ro 19-5247) by using 10- and 30-micrograms disks and three possible MIC susceptibility breakpoints. Absolute interpretive agreement between MICs and zone size criteria ranged from 91.8 to 97.2%. Very major errors (false susceptibility) were less than or equal to 1.2% for both cephalosporin disk tests. Morganella morganii strains appeared to produce the highest rates of very major interpretive errors with cefetamet disks.

We examined 300 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and 100 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi to determine their in vitro susceptibility to two new cephalosporins, cefetamet (Ro 15-8074) and ceftetrame (Ro 19-5247; T-2588), and a new fluroquinolone, fleroxacin (Ro 23-6240; AM-833). Their activity was compared with that of ceftriaxone, penicillin, spectinomycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. Cefetam...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of Ro 19-5247 (T-2525) and interpretive criteria for disk diffusion susceptibility testing.
The activity of Ro 19-5247 (the active metabolite of the oral cephalosporin Ro 19-5248 [T-2588]) was compared with that of five orally active agents against a total of 331 bacterial strains. Ro 19-5247 was more active in vitro than amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefaclor, cefuroxime, and cephalexin against members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Amoxicillin-clavulanate and amoxicillin ...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of Ro 15-8074, Ro 19-5247, A-56268, and roxithromycin (RU 28965) against Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis.
In vitro Ro 15-8074 and Ro 19-5247 (T2525), two new oral cephalosporins, were active against 410 penicillin-susceptible and -resistant isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Two new macrolides, A-56268 and to a lesser extent roxithromycin (RU 28965), were active against Chlamydia trachomatis. A-56268 had activity against N. gonorrhoeae similar to that of erythromycin.
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of Ro 15-8074, active metabolite of a new oral cephalosporin (Ro 15-8075), against 7,775 recent clinical isolates.
Susceptibility testing of 7,775 recent clinical isolates from four medical centers showed Ro 15-8074 to be 2-to greater than 8-fold more active than either cefaclor or cefuroxime against the Enterobacteriaceae. Ro 15-8074 MICs for 50% of the strains tested were greater than or equal to 32 micrograms/ml for Staphylococcus spp., enterococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Pseudomonas maltophilia. be...
متن کاملMIC and disk diffusion quality control guidelines for Neisseria gonorrhoeae susceptibility tests of cefdinir, cefetamet, CI-960, fleroxacin, lomefloxacin, and temafloxacin.
Cefdinir (FK482), cefetamet (Ro 15-8074), CI-960, fleroxacin, lomefloxacin, and temafloxacin have potent activities against Neisseria gonorrhoeae. They were tested in a multilaboratory study to establish quality control guidelines. Quality control ranges for N. gonorrhoeae ATCC 49226 were determined by using multiple GC agar lots, three disk lots, and a number of test replicates consistent with...
