The stability of the aminoglycosides gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin stored in combination with carbenicillin, piperacillin, cefotaxime, and moxalactam was evaluated at four temperatures (25, 4, -8, and -70 degrees C) over a 3-week period. Amikacin was the most stable of the aminoglycosides and demonstrated no loss of activity when stored with either carbenicillin or piperacillin. Gentamic...

From our research we noticed that Acanthi balcanici herba (ABH) contains luteolin and quercetol and Myrtillus fructus (M-fr) contains chlorogenic acid, apigenol and rutoside. ABH has no antibacterial effect on any species tested, completely cancel the therapeutic effect of three drugs (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, levofloxacin, amikacin) and have no significant effect on the other two antibio...

We tested the in-vitro activity of amoxycillin, amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, cefotaxime, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, tetracycline, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, clindamycin and five psychiatric drugs (chlorpromazine, sertraline, fluoxetine, paroxetine and risperidone) against 32 strains of Corynebacterium urealyticum. Resistance rates exceeded 90% for all ...

We report an H. parainfluenzae clinical isolate resistant to cefotaxime and with decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin recovered from a patient with cystic fibrosis. The isolate had elevated MICs of ampicillin (256mg/L), amoxicillin-clavulanate (8mg/L), cefuroxime (8mg/L) and cefotaxime (4mg/L), and showed a β-lactamase-producing amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-resistant (BLPACR) phenotype. A b...

Biofilms cause chronic infections that are difficult to treat because of the resistance microorganisms inside them. The goal is assess killing potential cefotaxime against Escherichia coli in biofilms obtained from clinical isolates kept microbiology laboratory Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital. study was conducted by experimental design. Two steps challenged bacterial applying planktonic state and...

Enterobacteriaceae bacteria are clinically important and lead to various diseases associated with high mortality morbidity, including urinary tract infections, yet their treatment is a challenge due increasing antibiotic resistance. This study examined the cytotoxicity effects viability-inducing abilities of mecillinam fosfomycin antibiotics in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Klebsiella pneumo...
