Sisomicin versus netilmicin: in vitro susceptibility testing.

نویسنده

  • D J Flournoy
چکیده

Antimicrobial susceptibility to sisomicin and netilmicin (Sch 20569) was determined on 164 clinical isolates using a broth microdilution method. Sisomicin was active against 86.1%, and netilmicin against 96.4%, of the isolates. In addition, netilmicin was active against 93.7% of the strains that were resistant to gentamicin, kanamycin, tobramycin, and sisomicin.

In vitro susceptibility of gentamicin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to netilmicin and selected aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Netilmicin (Sch 20569), a semisynthetic aminoglycoside related to gentamicin C(1a), was evaluated in vitro in agar dilution testing against 224 different clinical isolates of gentamicin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in parallel with amikacin, gentamicin, sisomicin, and tobramycin. Netilmicin showed a very high degree of activity against gentamicin-resistant organisms, ...

Activity of newer aminoglycosides and carbenicillin, alone and in combination, against gentamicin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The in vitro activity of the aminoglycoside antibiotics tobramycin, sisomicin, amikacin, gentamicin, and netilmicin (SCH 20569) were compared against 26 gentamicin-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultured from hospitalized children. Tobramycin had the greatest activity on a weight basis, followed by sisomicin, gentamicin, amikacin, and netilmicin. All isolates were resistant to ach...

In vitro studies on netilmicin, a new aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Netilmicin, a semisynthetic derivative of sisomicin, was tested in vitro against 600 clinical bacterial isolates. At a concentration of 1.56 mug/ml, over 90% of gram-negative bacilli were inhibited. Netilmicin was substantially more active against isolates of Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter spp. than gentamicin, sisomicin, tobramycin, or amikacin. Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (both pe...

Antimicrobial activity in vitro of netilmicin and comparison with sisomicin, gentamicin, and tobramycin.

The antimicrobial activity of netilmicin, a new semisynthetic aminoglycosidic aminocyclitol, was determined against 123 recent gram-negative clinical isolates susceptible to gentamicin and 60 isolates resistant to either sisomicin, gentamicin, or tobramycin. The minimal inhibitory concentrations and minimal bactericidal concentrations of netilmicin, sisomicin, gentamicin, and tobramycin against...

Synergy of penicillin-netilmicin combinations against enterococci including strains highly resistant to streptomycin or kanamycin.

The in vitro activity of combinations of penicillin and netilimicin was determined against 20 clinical isolates of enterococci and compared with that obtained in simultaneous tests with penicillin/sisomicin, penicillin/streptomycin, and penicillin/kanamycin. Synergy between the two drugs in each combination was determined by the use of quantitative kill curves and was defined as a killing by th...
