Clindamycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 13, No. 5, May 2007 801 We believe that patients with severe combined immunodefi ciency and any form of mild local changes at the BCG injection site should be given single or double anti-TB therapy, which should be continued until complete immunologic reconstitution occurs after bone marrow transplant. Severe local BCG infection with regiona...
متن کاملClindamycin is neuroprotective in experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis compared with ceftriaxone.
In animal models of Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis, rifampin is neuroprotective in comparison to ceftriaxone. So far it is not clear whether this can be generalized for other protein synthesis-inhibiting antimicrobial agents. We examined the effects of the bactericidal protein synthesis-inhibiting clindamycin (n = 12) on the release of proinflammatory bacterial components, the formation of...
متن کاملVariation in erythromycin and clindamycin susceptibilities of Streptococcus pneumoniae by four test methods.
Susceptibilities of 124 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae to erythromycin and clindamycin were determined by the National Committee for the Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) broth microdilution method, with incubation for 20 to 24 h in ambient air and with modifications of this method by incubation for up to 48 h in air and CO2. Strains were also tested by agar dilution, E-test, and disk ...
متن کاملClindamycin therapy of experimental meningitis caused by penicillin- and cephalosporin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Although penicillin resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae strains is increasing in many areas, resistance to clindamycin remains low. In our well-characterized rabbit meningitis model, we conducted experiments to evaluate the bacteriologic efficacy of clindamycin after a penicillin- and cephalosporin-resistant S. pneumoniae strain was intracisternally inoculated. Animals received a loading ...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay for clindamycin.
We describe a radioimmunoassay for measuring clindamycin in serum extracts that is more accurate than the microbiological assay because of the minimal response of the matabolite, N-demethylclindamycin. The assay is not affected by the presence of other antiobiotics. As described it is as sensitive as the microbiological assay, but can be made more sensitive.
