In vitro activities of ampicillin-sulbactam and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid against Acinetobacter baumannii.
In vitro susceptibility patterns of newer beta-lactamase-inhibiting antibiotics ampicillin-sulbactam (A/S) and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (A/C) for 100 consecutive isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii obtained from various clinical samples were studied. The A/C MIC for 86% of the strains was more than 16/8 microgram/ml, whereas there was an A/S MIC of more than 16/8 microgram/ml for only 38% of...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibilities of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. to ampicillin-sulbactam and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.
Ampicillin-sulbactam (A/S) and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (AUG) are thought to be equally efficacious clinically against the Enterobacteriaceae family. In this study, the in vitro activities of the A/S and AUG were evaluated and compared against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by standard agar dilution and disc diffusion techniques accordi...
متن کاملPenetration of sulbactam-ampicillin and clavulanic acid-amoxicillin into the pelvic peritoneum.
Sixteen patients were given single intravenous injections of ampicillin (0.5 g) with sulbactam (0.5 g), and 15 patients were given amoxicillin (1 g) with clavulanic acid (0.2 g) before elective laparoscopy. At 2 h after dosing, the concentrations of the four compounds in serum and in the peritoneal fluid from the Pouch of Douglas and the ratio of each combination reached levels shown to be effe...
متن کاملEvaluation of in vitro methods for testing susceptibility of anaerobes to ampicillin-sulbactam and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.
A total of 97 anaerobic bacteria were tested for susceptibility to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid by broth microdilution and disk elution methods, the results of which were compared with those of the reference agar dilution method. With the broth microdilution method, approximately 95% of MICs were within 1 dilution of those of the reference agar method, with ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Activities of the -Lactamase Inhibitors Clavulanic Acid, Sulbactam, and Tazobactam Alone or in Combination with -Lactams against Epidemiologically Characterized Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen usually in the context of serious underlying disease. Multidrug resistance in these organisms is frequent. The -lactamase inhibitors clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam have intrinsic activity against Acinetobacter strains. To evaluate their potential therapeutic usefulness, we determined the in vitro activity of ampicillin, sul...
