متن کاملA comparative in vitro study of cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations against gram negative bacilli.
The present study aims at comparing the in-vitro susceptibility of six commercially available cephalosporin--BLI combinations with cephalosporins alone against hospital isolates of Gram negative bacilli. Gram negative bacilli, numbering 500, isolated from various clinical samples, were included in the study. The isolates were also screened for ESBL production by the methods recommended by CLSI....

متن کاملIn vitro activity of Biapenem plus RPX7009, a carbapenem combined with a serine β-lactamase inhibitor, against anaerobic bacteria.
Biapenem is a carbapenem being developed in combination with RPX7009, a new inhibitor of serine β-lactamases. Biapenem was tested alone and in combination with fixed concentrations of RPX7009 by agar dilution against 377 recent isolates of anaerobes. A separate panel of 27 isolates of Bacteroides spp. with decreased susceptibility or resistance to imipenem was also tested. Comparator drugs incl...
متن کاملIn Vitro Activity of LK-157, a Novel Tricyclic Carbapenem As Broad-Spectrum -Lactamase Inhibitor
LK-157 is a novel tricyclic carbapenem with potent activity against class A and class C -lactamases. When tested against the purified TEM-1 and SHV-1 enzymes, LK-157 exhibited 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) in the ranges of the clavulanic acid and tazobactam IC50s (55 nM and 151 nM, respectively). Moreover, LK-157 significantly inhibited AmpC -lactamase (IC50, 62 nM), as LK-157 was >2,00...
