Evaluation of Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (SXT), Minocycline, Tigecycline, Moxifloxacin, and Ceftazidime Alone and in Combinations for SXT-Susceptible and SXT-Resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by In Vitro Time-Kill Experiments.
BACKGROUND The optimal therapy for infections caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) has not yet been established. The objective of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT), minocycline, tigecycline, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, ticarcillin-clavulanate, polymyxin E, chloramphenicol, and ceftazidime against clinical isolated S. maltophilia str...
متن کاملStudy of Antibacterial Chemical Substances and Molecular Investigation among Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SXT)- Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates
Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) remains one of the leading agents of urinary tract infection (UTIs), it has become resistant to many drugs. Current work aimed to evaluate some chemical substances as antibacterial agents and molecular study of virulence factors associated with UTIs. Methods: This work involved 133 urine specimens obtained from females’ patients suffering from UTIs, Met...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus small colony variants are induced by the endothelial cell intracellular milieu.
Recent studies have reported that Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs) can cause highly persistent infections in humans and in cultured endothelial cells. To understand the process by which SCVs of S. aureus appear in subjects who have not received antibiotic treatment, bovine endothelial cells were coincubated with a wild S. aureus strain for 72 h in the presence of lysostaphin. ...
متن کاملSmall-colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus remains a versatile and dangerous pathogen. Small-colony variants (SCVs) of S. aureus are a naturally occurring sub-population, first described nearly 100 years ago. These variants, of which there are different classes, grow slowly and have many atypical characteristics thought to be due to defective electron transport, and include minute colony forms. SCVs have been isola...
متن کاملTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole activity and pharmacodynamics against glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the activity of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) against glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (GISA). DESIGN In vitro study. SETTING University laboratory. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of TMP-SMX were determined for three GISA strains. Time-kill assays were conducted at 1 x MIC and at simulated peak s...
