متن کاملVirulence of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and in vivo.
We evaluated the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying bla(IMP), a metallo-beta-lactamase gene, and the efficacy of ceftazidime, imipenem-cilastatin, and ciprofloxacin in the endogenous bacteremia model. The presence of bla(IMP) did not practically change the virulence of the parent strain, and ciprofloxacin was effective against infection with P. aeruginosa carrying bla(IMP).

متن کاملComparison of Efficacy of Cefoperazone/Sulbactam and Imipenem/Cilastatin for Treatment of Acinetobacter Bacteremia
Multiple antibiotic resistance threatens successful treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii infections worldwide. Increasing interest in the well-known activity of sulbactam against the genus Acinetobacter has been aroused. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes for patients with Acinetobacter bacteremia treated with cefoperazone/sulbactam versus imipenem/cilastatin. Forty-seven pat...
