In vitro evaluation of new penicillins and cephalosporins upon P. aeruginosa and their interaction with mecillinam.

Abstract:

:The in vitro activity of the new semisynthetic ureidopenicillins azlocillin (AZ) and mezlocillin (MZ), and of the new cephalosporin cefsulodin (CEF) were determined against 50 carbenicillin-sensitive (CARs) and 50 carbenicillin-resistant (CARr) P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. In the CARs group the most active antibiotics are AZ and CEF with MICs between 0.5 and 8 microgram/ml. Ticarcillin (TIC) and MZ showed more activity than CAR with MICs from 2 to 32 mu/ml. In this group there is a predominance of pyocine-type groups 1 and 3. In the CARr group, AZ is the most active antibiotic at low concentrations. At 64 microgram/ml of CEF, 72% of strains are inhibited as compared to 70% with AZ, 62% with MZ and 50% with TIC. In this group there is predominance of non-typeable strains. Interaction with mecillinam (MEC) and these antibiotics was studied on three different culture media (MH, NIH and DST). There were few cases of synergism with MEC and TIC combinations, mostly on DST medium. No appreciable synergism was found with other combinations of antibiotics.

  • Bacterial adhesiveness: effects of the SH metabolite of erdosteine (mucoactive drug) plus clarithromycin versus clarithromycin alone.

    abstract::After metabolization, erdosteine (a mucoactive drug) produces an active metabolite (Met I) with an SH group that is capable of opening disulphide bonds, including those of pilin, a protein of bacterial fimbriae. This induces stereochemical conformational changes that interfere with the binding of bacterial adhesins (f...
