... Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index [NIH-CPSI] and International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS]) were administered. Results: Pathogen eradication was achieved in 79% of the cases treated with levofloxacin as a single agent and 87.8% of patients who received a combination of levofloxacin and azithromycin...

...S. Ripa; L. Ferrante; M. Prenna The pharmacokinetic profile of azithromycin, after oral ingestion of 500 mg, was determined in 10 healthy volunteers. Statistical and biochemical reason seemed to indicate a zero-order absorption of the drug. The disposition of azithromycin was described by a two...

...Jasmina Vranes The effect of subinhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin on the hemagglutination (HA) and adherence ability of 29 P-fimbriated Escherichia coli strains to the buffalo green monkey kidney (BGMK) cell line was investigated. Comparisons were...

...Tomoku Ichimiya; Kaori Takeoka; Kazufumi Hiramatsu; Kazuhiro Hirai; Tohru Yamasaki; Masaru Nasu The influence of azithromycin on biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa , a cause of refractory chronic respiratory tract infection, was investigated. Alginic acid produced by a mucoid strain of P...

...R. Lang; B. Shasha; N. Ifrach; S. Tinman; E. Rubinstein Mice infected with Brucella melitensis were treated with azithromycin or roxithromycin at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day i.p. alone and in combination with streptomycin 75 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Streptomycin at this dose was previously documented...

...Hussain Qadri; M.A. Halim; Yoshio Ueno; F.M. Abumustafa; A.G. Postle In vitro antibacterial activity of the new macrolide azithromycin was tested against 116 strains of Brucella melitensis, isolated from 115 patients in a major tertiary care referral center. Eighty-seven percent of the strains were...

...P.C. Braga; G. Piatti Azithromycin is the first member of a novel 15-membered-ring ‘azalide’ group of macrolides that has entered into clinical practice, and its activity is not restricted to gram-positive bacteria, but extends also to gram-negative bacteria. The aim of this study...

... concentrations and activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Legionella pneumophila were assessed for three antimicrobial agents: amoxicillin, azithromycin and clarithromycin. Amoxicillin was found almost exclusively in extracellular fluid, where it was active; intracellularly, it was ineffective. Azithromycin...

... addition of a macrolide (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin) and the effect of these drugs on the survival of intracellular staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) was measured. The minimal effective concentration of the antibiotic which killed 80-90% of the bacteria after...

...A. Pascual; G. López-López; J. Aragón; E.J. Perea The effect of three macrolides (azithromycin, roxithromycin and erythromycin) on the interaction in vitro of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) with Staphylococcus aureus was examined. The exposure of 5. aureus to 0.25 MIC of roxithromycin...

... randomization list to receive a total dose of 4.5 g of azithromycin given as a 3-day therapy of 1 × 500 mg weekly for 3 weeks or doxycyline 100 mg b.i.d. for 21 days. Patients’ sexual partners were treated at the same time. Clinical efficacy and tolerability of the administered drug as well as possible adverse...

...Felipe Fernández-Cuenca; Luis Martínez-Martínez; Alvaro Pascual; Evelio J. Perea The in vitro activity of the two-drug combinations of azithromycin with amikacin, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin or imipenem against five clonally unrelated strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were evaluated. Synergy...

...F. Scaglione; G. Demartini; S. Dugnani; F. Fraschini Antibacterial kinetics of modified-release clarithromycin (CLA) and azithromycin (AZI) against respiratory tract pathogens were compared in relation to their pharmacokinetic profile. The study was carried out in three strains of Streptococcus...

Mahalanabis The effects of furazolidone, erythromycin and azithromycin in inhibiting colonisation of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in the rabbit intestine were tested. Both V. cholerae O1 and O139 highly colonised the gut...
