Use of Penicillin MICs To Predict In Vitro Activity of Other b-Lactam Antimicrobial Agents against Streptococcus pneumoniae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Linear regression analysis was used to compare penicillin MICs determined with 3,129 recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae to MICs obtained with nine other beta-lactam antimicrobial agents. A strong correlation between penicillin MICs and those obtained with other beta-lactams was demonstrated. It may be possible to test penicillin and use MICs obtained with penicillin to predict MICs of other beta-lactam antimicrobials for Streptococcus pneumoniae.

متن کاملIn-vitro activity of 21 beta-lactam antibiotics against penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
MICs of 21 beta-lactams were determined by agar dilution against 283 penicillin-susceptible (pen-S), 122 intermediate (pen-I) and 23 fully penicillin-resistant (pen-R) pneumococci. MICs of all beta-lactams increased with increasing MICs of penicillin. Clometocillin was the most active penicillin against pen-I or pen-R pneumococci. All oral cephalosporins except cefuroxime and cefpodoxime were l...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the United States during 1999--2000, including a comparison of resistance rates since 1994--1995.
A total of 1,531 recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were collected from 33 medical centers nationwide during the winter of 1999--2000 and characterized at a central laboratory. Of these isolates, 34.2% were penicillin nonsusceptible (MIC > or = 0.12 microg/ml) and 21.5% were high-level resistant (MIC > or = 2 microg/ml). MICs to all beta-lactam antimicrobials increased as peni...
متن کاملIn vitro Antibacterial Evaluation of Newly Synthesized Heterocyclic Compounds Against Streptococcus Pneumoniae
In recent years, the spread of drug-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, as the most common causes of bacterial respiratory infections, threatens public health. Therefore, the use of new antimicrobial medicines to inhibit this pathogen is an urgent demand. In this research project, the inhibitory effects of thirty recently synthesized compounds including thiazole, thiazolidine, imidaz...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of ME1036 (CP5609), a novel parenteral carbapenem, against methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
ME1036, formerly CP5609, is a novel parenteral carbapenem with a 7-acylated imidazo[5,1-b]thiazole-2-yl group directly attached to the carbapenem moiety of the C-2 position. The present study evaluated the in vitro activities of ME1036 against clinical isolates of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. ME1036 displayed broad activity against aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. ...
