Lack of synergy of erythromycin combined with penicillin or cefotaxime against Streptococcus pneumoniae in vitro.

Abstract:

:We investigated a possible synergistic effect of a macrolide and beta-lactams against Streptococcus pneumoniae strains with different resistance profiles. Checkerboard and time-kill assays of erythromycin combined with penicillin or cefotaxime essentially showed indifference, suggesting that these antibiotics in combinations in vitro act substantially as individuals in their activity against S. pneumoniae.

  • In vitro inhibition of Coccidioides immitis strains with amphotericin B plus rifampin.

    abstract::Rifampin was shown in vitro to decrease the amphotericin B minimal inhibitory concentrations of all of 10 strains of Coccidioides immitis tested. These decreases ranged from two- to fourfold and occurred with rifampin concentrations of 10 to 40 mug/ml. Rifampin alone was without effect. ...
