Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic with in vitro bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Amoxicillin is, however, susceptible to degradation by beta-lactamases, and therefore, the spectrum of activity does not include organisms which produce these enzymes. Clavulanic ...
Comparative in vitro activity of augmentin against community and hospital-acquired gram-negative bacteria The susceptibility of 841 unselectcd, gramnegative bacterial isolates to augmentin, an amoxycillin/clavulanic acid formulation, was examined and compared w...

Indications and dosages ➣ Lower respiratory tract infections, otitis media, sinusitis, skin and skin-structure infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible strains of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms Adults and children weighing more than 40 kg (88 lb): 500 mg...
This study aimed to assess the synergistic effect of a combination between the most common used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotic in Al-Bayda city against pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, Diclofenac Sodium 50mg and Diclofenac Potassium 50mg separate...
Augmentin was effective against 71.0 percent of all, 68.9 percent of gram negative and 75.6 percent of gram positive pathogens and cotimoxazole was effective against 63.0 percent of all, 58.4 percent gram negative and 73.3 percent of gram-positive isolates. CONCLUSION: Despite decades of their ...
The using of beta-lactamase inhibitors in combination with some beta-lactam antibiotics is a suitable alternative in the present unfavourable situation in chemotherapy (increase of occurrence of gram-negative and gram-positive penicillin-cephalosporin-resistant bacterial strains). In this communication the ...
On the basis of regression and error rate-bounded analyses, the suggested interpretive disk diffusion susceptibility breakpoints for Augmentin are: susceptible, greater than or equal to 18 mm; resistant, less than or equal to 13 mm (gram-negative bacilli); and susceptible, greater than or equal ...
The addition of clavulanic acid to amoxicillin extends spectrum of activity to cover many beta-lactamse producing gram positive (S. aureus) and gram negative organisms (Moraxella Catarrhalis, H. Influenzae, Proteus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp.), including gram negative anaerobes ...
