چکیده

Time-kill studies compared the activities of grepafloxacin with those of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and clarithromycin against 12 pneumococcal strains. Grepafloxacin was bactericidal after 24 h against all strains at a concentration of < or = 0.5 microg/ml, while sparfloxacin, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin were bactericidal at concentrations of < or = 1.0, < or = 2.0, and < or = 8.0 microg/ml, respectively. Amoxicillin-clavulanate and clarithromycin were bactericidal at 2x the MIC after 24 h against 12 of 12 strains and against all 8 macrolide-susceptible strains, respectively.

Antipneumococcal activity of BMS 284756 compared to those of six other agents.

Antipneumococcal activity of BMS 284756 was compared to those of six agents by MIC and time-kill methodologies. BMS 284756 had the lowest MICs compared to those of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin against quinolone-susceptible (< or =0.016 to 0.06 microg/ml) and quinolone-resistant (0.03 to 1 microg/ml) pneumococci. BMS 284756 was bactericidal against 11 of 12 strains at two times ...

Time-kill study of the activity of telithromycin against macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates with 23S rRNA mutations and changes in ribosomal proteins L4 and L22.

By use of a time-kill methodology, the antipneumococcal activity of telithromycin was determined against macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae isolates having mutations in the 23S rRNA gene and changes in the ribosomal proteins L4 and L22. Telithromycin had MICs ranging between 0.03 and 0.25 microg/ml and was bactericidal against four of seven strains after 24 h at two times the MIC.
