Whereas inducible AmpC expression has been reported for most AmpC-positive Gram-negative bacterial species [6], this is not the case for A. baumannii. Induction experiments, performed with imipenem or cefoxitin as inducers and cephalothin as substrate [21], confirmed the absence of AmpC ...
Deletion of the second most upregulated gene, the PBPvanY, was also ineffective at decreasing cephalosporin resistance. Cefoxitin exposure of theC. difficilestrain 630螖blaCDDmutant did not increase upregulation of other putative antibiotic resistance genes compared to wildtypeC. difficilestrain 630....
Since cefoxitin has been shown to be an effective alternative to spectinomycin for the treatment of infections due to penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) its efficacy was compared with that of a new cephalosporin, ceftriaxone (R013-9904). One hundred and twenty eight ...
cephalosporins, such as cefalaxin, cefoxitin, cefuroxime axetil, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime proxetil, cefaclor, cefadroxil or cephalothin; gyrase inhibitors, such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, of loxacin or pefloxacin; or other different antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol. Particularly worthy of mention ...
Infection. Acute parotitis is anextremely painful condition as the parotid gland is invested with a richly innervated fascia. What antibiotics treat parotid gland infection? For health care associated parotitis, broad spectrum antibiotics are recommended as mentioned in Table 3.Cefoxitin, imipenem, ertape...
A reasonable combination of antibiotic coverage includes ciprofloxacin or a third generation cephalosporin such as ceftriaxone, in addition to vancomycin. Another feasible regimen is ampicillin/sulbactam, cefoxitin, or piperacillin/tazobactam in combination with vancomycin [5].Vancomycin is especially important...
This may be significant in patients in whom postpartum endometritis develops and who have failure of initial treatment with a broad-spectrum cephalosporin, e.g., cefoxitin or cefotetan, or a combination such as clindamycin or metronidazole plus an aminoglycoside. Rupture of amniotic membranes for a...
Cefoxitin IM with probenecid orally, or (c) Another parenteral third-generation cephalosporin. Additionally, if there is a concern about trichomonas infection or if recent vaginal instrumentation has occurred, metronidazole should be added to the treatment regimen. Surgical intervention should be carefully...
In vitro antibiotic resistance profiling showed a higher Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) index of 0.8 with the highest resistance against ampicillin/sulbactam (82%), while 58, 44, 39 and 38% of the isolates were resistant to cephalothin, erythromycin, cefoxitin and imipenem, respectively. ...
