In vitro activity of fosfomycin, alone and in combination, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

چکیده
We tested 148 strains of clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus against fosfomycin alone and in combination with methicillin, cefamandole, gentamicin, trimethoprim, and vancomycin. Fosfomycin inhibited 90% of the 148 methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains at a concentration of 4 micrograms/ml. Synergism was observed in 97 strains (66%) with fosfomycin-cefamandole and in 69 strains (46%) with fosfomycin-methicillin. The combinations of fosfomycin with vancomycin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim were indifferent in most strains.

In Vitro Synergistic Activity of Imipenem and Fosfomycin against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
The in vitro activity of imipenem in combination with fosfomycin against 17 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from hospitalized patients was investigated by checkerboard and time-kill studies. Of the 17 strains tested, checkerboard studies revealed synergy in 14(82.3%)and indifference in 3(17.6%): the time-kill studies also revealed synergy in 14 of 14 strains at ...
متن کاملEfficacy of pefloxacin-fosfomycin in experimental endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The efficacies of pefloxacin, fosfomycin, and both of these agents in combination against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were assessed in a rat endocarditis model. The combination prevented emergence of the fosfomycin and pefloxacin resistance seen in 36 and 4%, respectively, of animals receiving either agent alone and was more effective than either agent in sterilizing cardiac veg...
