چکیده

Synergistic activity of astromicin and an antipseudomonal beta-lactam antibiotic such as piperacillin, cefsulodin or carbenicillin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Synergy in vitro was observed more often when astromicin was combined with piperacillin or cefsulodin than when it was combined with carbenicillin. The combination of astromicin with piperacillin showed a bactericidal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a bacteriostatic concentration of each antibiotic alone. The synergy observed in vitro was reproduced against experimental mouse infections, and the astromicin-piperacillin or cefsulodin combination produced significantly greater protective effects than the single use of individual antibiotics.

Synergistic activities of fortimicin A and beta-lactam antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The inhibitory and bactericidal activities of fortimicin A (FTM-A) alone against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were compared with those of FTM-A in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics. As tested by the checkerboard method, most beta-lactam antibiotics tested had synergistic effects on the inhibitory activity of FTM-A against one strain of P. aeruginosa. Addition of a sublethal concentration of ca...

In vitro Evaluation of Methylxanthines and Some Antibiotics: Interaction against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Background: The development of resistance to antimicrobial agents is a major problem in chemotherapy. Finding agents which potentiate antimicrobial activity could be favorable. There are some reports that methylxanthines changed the inhibitory effect of antibacterial agents. Thus, possible synergistic effect of methylxanthines, aminophylline and caffeine on some antibiotics, carbenicillin, ceft...

Comparative in vitro synergistic activity of new beta-lactam antimicrobial agents and amikacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens.

The in vitro synergistic activities of moxalactam, cefoperazone, or cefotaxime in combination with amikacin or piperacillin were compared against aminoglycoside-susceptible and aminoglycoside-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens by the checkerboard agar dilution method. All antimicrobial combinations demonstrated some synergy, and no antagonism was observed. Moxa...
