Susceptibility of Nocardia asteroides to new quinolones and beta-lactams.
The susceptibility of 31 strains of Nocardia asteroides to various quinolones and beta-lactams, as well as coumermycin, amikacin, and minocycline, was determined by the agar dilution technique. Ciprofloxacin was the most active fluoroquinolone tested on a weight basis, as it inhibited approximately 50% of the isolates at achievable drug levels in serum. Ceftriaxone and cefpirome were the most a...
متن کاملSynergism of imipenem and amikacin in combination with other antibiotics against Nocardia asteroides.
The in vitro activities of imipenem (formerly imipemide, N-formimidoyl thienamycin, or MK0787) and amikacin in combination with cefotaxime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and each other were tested against 26 Nocardia asteroides strains. The agar dilution method was used for all tests. Synergy was present in 80% of tests with imipenem-trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, in 92% of tests with imipenem...
متن کاملTherapy of Experimental Cerebral Nocardiosis with Imipenem,
A mouse model of cerebral nocardiosis was used to determine relative antibiotic efficacy by reducing bacterial colony counts per gram of brain tissue. The antimicrobial agents employed were demonstrated in vitro to be inhibitory to most strains of Nocardia asteroides at very low concentrations. The agents used in this study were imipenem-cilastatin, amikacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility among clinical Nocardia species identified by multilocus sequence analysis.
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 112 clinical isolates, 28 type strains, and 9 reference strains of Nocardia were determined using the Sensititre Rapmyco microdilution panel (Thermo Fisher, Inc.). Isolates were identified by highly discriminatory multilocus sequence analysis and were chosen to represent the diversity of species recovered from clinical specimens in Ontario, Canada. Susce...
