چکیده
The in vitro effects of spectinomycin and ceftriaxone, alone or in combination with erythromycin, ofloxacin, and doxycycline, against Chlamydia trachomatis were investigated by the checkerboard method and compared by Ridit (reference identical unit) analysis. A combination of spectinomycin with erythromycin or doxycycline was found to be more effective than that of ceftriaxone.

The in vitro activity of A-56268 (TE-031), a new macrolide antibiotic, against 11 strains of Chlamydia trachomatis was determined and compared with that of four other antibiotics. A-56268 was the most active drug tested. Doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and erythromycin had good activity but were less active in vitro than A-56268.
متن کاملSingle-dose minocycline in the treatment of gonococcal urethritis. Clinical efficacy in relation to bacterial resistance and its effects on associated Chlamydia trachomatis infections.
Seventy-two men with gonococcal urethritis were given a single 300-mg dose of minocycline. The failure rate was 13% and the trial was terminated at an early stage. Failure was correlated with increased resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to minocycline. The activity of penicillin, spectinomycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, sulphamethoxazole, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, rosamicin, thiamphenicol, and...
متن کاملOral ciprofloxacin versus ceftriaxone for the treatment of urethritis from resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Zambia.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains resistant to treatment with penicillin, tetracycline, and/or spectinomycin are increasing in prevalence in many parts of the world. In Zambia, 52% of N. gonorrhoeae isolates produced beta-lactamase in 1986. Few oral regimens have proven effective for treatment of resistant N. gonorrhoeae. We conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of 250 mg...
