This study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro activities of arbekacin-based combination regimens against vancomycin hetero-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hetero-VISA). Combinations of arbekacin with vancomycin, rifampin, ampicillin-sulbactam, teicoplanin, or quinupristin-dalfopristin against seven hetero-VISA strains and two methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains were evaluated by th...

A total of 97 anaerobic bacteria were tested for susceptibility to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid by broth microdilution and disk elution methods, the results of which were compared with those of the reference agar dilution method. With the broth microdilution method, approximately 95% of MICs were within 1 dilution of those of the reference agar method, with ...

Results The resistance to antibiotics was higher in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from urine culture compared to those isolated in respiratory infections in case of: a) beta-lactams (ceftriaxone 45.2% versus 69.5%, cefaclor 36.7% versus 52.9%, cefuroxime 49.3% versus 61.9%, cefoperazone-sulbactam 70.6% versus 85.7%, piperacillintazobactam 58.1% versus 75.5%, aztreonam 45.8% versus 66.6...

In vitro studies were performed to evaluate susceptibility tests with disks containing 10 micrograms of ampicillin plus 10 micrograms of sulbactam. Interpretive zone standards of less than or equal to 11 mm (resistant), 12 to 13 mm (intermediate), and greater than or equal to 14 mm (susceptible) are proposed. A nine-laboratory coordinated study was performed to establish tentative zone size lim...

Infectious complications in surgery occupy a significant place among the causes of death and increase cost medical care for various pathologies. Antibiotic prophylaxis takes one first places perioperative period, addition to surgical treatment compliance with rules asepsis antiseptics. Laxers is new drug cephalosporin group, consisting combination cefoperazone sulbactam. It has wide range actio...
