In Vitro Synergy of Levofloxacin Plus Piperacillin/Tazobactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
نویسندگان
چکیده
In vitro synergy testing using levofloxacin (LVX) plus piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) was performed by Etest and time-kill assay (TKA) for 31 unique fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The Etest method showed synergy for 9/31 (29%) of isolates, while TKA showed synergy with 14/31 (45%) of isolates. When comparing the Etest method and TKA, concordant results for synergy, antagonism, and indifference were obtained for 24/31 (77%) of the isolates tested.

Effective in Vitro Synergy of Piperacillin/Tazobactam Plus either Netilmicin or Aztreonam against Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
This study was designed to compare the activity of piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) in combination with either netilmicin (NET) or aztreonam (ATM) against metallo-β lactamases (MβL) Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Out of 46 nosocomial Ps. aeruginosa isolates, 38 (82.6%) isolates were carbapenem-resistant by disc diffusion susceptibility testing. These were then screened by imipenem + EDTA combined disc te...
متن کاملSynergistic activity of astromicin and beta-lactam antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and in vivo.
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 ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are difficult to treat as this organism displays a high level of intrinsic antibiotic resistance. Treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics leads to dramatic increases in the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), which may be associated with treatment failure. Achieving Mutant Prevention Concentration (MPC) for fluoroquinolones may kill single step resistant...

PURPOSE Combination antibiotic treatment is preferred in nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In vitro synergism tests were used to choose the combinations which might be used in clinic. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic efficacy of synergistic antibiotic combinations in multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

ACHN-490 was tested alone and in combination with cefepime, doripenem, imipenem, or piperacillin-tazobactam in a synergy time-kill analysis against 25 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with different resistance phenotypes. Each combination was synergistic against most isolates at 24 h, and antagonism was not observed. Combinations of ACHN-490 with cefepime, doripenem, imipenem, or piperacillin-taz...
