...A. Pascual; M.C. Conejo; López Lopez; E.J. Perea The effect of ampicillin and sulbactam on the interaction in vitro of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) with Staphylococcus aureus was examined. The exposure of a non-penicillinase-producing S. aureus strain to one fourth the MIC of ampicillin...

...Pietro E. Varaldo; Sandro Ripa; Giuseppe Nicoletti; Italo Covelli; Giuseppe Satta; Nicola Carlone; Roberta Fontana A multicenter study aimed at assessing the in vitro activity of sulbactam/ ampicillin against a wide range of bacterial pathogens was performed using 2,209 clinical strains, all...

... and ampicillin during 3 visits. Due to incomplete dose strength of regimen, only 60% of antibiotic orders were evaluable. The antibiotic doses were within the recommended range in 40% of evaluable cases. Antihistamines and decongestants were used in 28 cases. Analgesics, a variety of ear drops and vinegar...

...M.M. Shelton; D.F. Welch The activities of ampicillin, cefaclor, cephalothin, and cefuroxime against invasive clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were studied to determine the correlation between resistance and β-lactamase production. Approaches to in vitro susceptibility testing...

... to children once daily in a dose of 100 mg/kg/day. Patients in group II received ampicillin 160 mg/kg/day and chloramphenicol (AMCL) 100 mg/kg/day (i.v. to adults and i.m. to children) every 6 h. No significant difference was observed between the two therapeutic regimens with regard to mortality, time taken...

...Walter H. Traub; Marlene Spohr; Dierk Bauer Ampicillin, fusidic acid, gentamicin, imipenem, mezlocillin, ofloxacin, penicillin G, piperacillin, and vancomycin were examined for inhibitory and bactericidal activity in various broth media against 7 clinical isolates of Streptococcus faecalis...

...Sandro Ripa; Luigi Ferrante; Manuela Prenna We investigated the pharmacokinetic properties of sulbactam/ampicillin (S/A), after intravenous (0.5/1.0 and 1.0/2.0 g) and intramuscular (0.5/1.0 g) coadministration in 10 male subjects. After 1.0/2.0 g intravenous doses of S/A the half-lives (t ½β...

...B. Kawaler; H. Hof Mice infected with a cotrimoxazole-susceptible strain of Listeria monocytogenes (MIC 0.25 mg/l) were highly protected by a short-lived therapy with this drug. The excellent activity of ampicillin, however, was not achieved. Only the combination of trimethoprim...

...Haragopal Thadepalli; Vinh Toan Bach; David Webb; Ira Roy Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may be caused by anaerobic bacteria and/or gonococcus and therefore the efficacy of two antibiotics, ampicillin (AMP) and spectinomycin (SPM) commonly used in this setting was examined against 370 isolates...

...Stanley Mirrett; Barth Reller To compare the in vitro activity of cefamandole with ampicillin, cefoxitin, and gentamicin, each antimicrobial was tested against 419 bacteria isolated from the blood of patients with proved sepsis. Cefamandole was active against all gram-positive cocci except...

...Hitoshi Kojo; Hideo Asano; Takeo Murakawa; Minoru Nishida Resistance patterns to antibiotics differed markedly between indole-positive and indole-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Multiple-drug-resistant strains were almost exclusively indole-negative. Ampicillin and kanamycin resistances...

...Claes Henning; Otto Cars The pharmacokinetics of alafosfalin and ampicillin were studied in rabbits. Serum concentrations were compared to levels in subcutaneous tissue fluid obtained from implanted tissue cages. The concentrations of alafosfalin exceeded those of ampicillin and the drugs were...
