چکیده
We investigated in vitro activities of piperacillin or cefoperazone alone and in combination with beta-lactamase inhibitors against Gram-negative bacilli. Piperacillin/tazobactam 8:1 lowered resistance for Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Enterobactaer cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and imipenem-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii. When piperacillin was combined with sulbactam 2:1 or 4:1, resistance against E. coli, S. marcescens, E. cloacae, extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii were reduced. MIC90 of cefoperazone against S. marcescens, E. cloacae, ESBL-K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii were >128 mg/L. Addition of sulbactam 1:1 or 2:1 enhanced antimicrobial activities. Addition of sulbactam to piperacillin or cefoperazone enhanced antimicrobial activities of GNB.

Comparative in vitro activities of seven new beta-lactams, alone and in combination with beta-lactamase inhibitors, against clinical isolates resistant to third generation cephalosporins.
We examined the drug susceptibility pattern of Gram-negative bacilli to seven new beta-lactams. A total of 277 non-duplicate gramnegative bacilli strains belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species, isolated from various clinical samples were tested for susceptibility to imipenem, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, ticarcillin/clavulanate, cef...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activity of beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations against gram negative bacteria.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Currently, the use of beta-lactamase inhibitors in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics represents an effective measure to combat a specific resistance mechanism of beta-lactamase producing organisms. Knowledge about the susceptibility profile of bacteria to different combination agents available is essential to guide appropriate treatment of severe infections in hosp...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of cefbuperazone compared with that of other new beta-lactam agents against anaerobic gram-negative bacilli and contribution of beta-lactamase to resistance.
Cefbuperazone was compared with other currently available and investigational antibiotics against 278 clinical isolates of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli by an agar dilution method. Cefbuperazone and cefotetan were equally active against Bacteroides fragilis, with 8% of the organisms tested found to be resistant to 32 micrograms of either drug per ml. Cefoperazone, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of the in-vitro Activity of Six β-lactam/β-lactamase Inhibitor Combinations against Gram Negative Bacilli.
BACKGROUND The extensive use of the β-lactam antibiotics in hospitals and in the community has created major resistance problems which has led to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The use of the β-lactamase inhibitors in combination with the β-lactam antibiotics is currently the most successful strategy used for circumventing the resistance mechanisms. OBJECTIVE To evaluate...
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...
