In vitro activities of new beta-lactam antibiotics against Acinetobacter spp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activities of new beta-lactam antibiotics was studied and compared with those of other known agents against 51 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus and 23 isolates of A. calcoaceticus subsp. lwoffi. Of the new beta-lactam antibiotics, imipemide (N-formimidoyl thienamycin), ceftazidime, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, and piperacillin demonstrated good activities. The minimal inhibitory concentrations for A. calcoaceticus subsp. lwoffi were lower than those obtained for A. calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus.

The in vitro activities of Ro 17-2301 and aztreonam against 191 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were compared with those of five other beta-lactam antibiotics. Both compounds showed activities comparable to that of ceftazidime and were bactericidal. They were as effective against gentamicin-or carbenicillin-resistant isolates as against susceptible ones.
