Comparison of the in-vitro activities of ceftazidime and new cephalosporins against 107 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 249 strains of cefazolin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. 1981

A Thabaut, and J L Durosoir, and P Saliou

Hôpital Militaire Bégin, Saint-Mandé, France.

Three hundred and fifty-six bacterial strains, including 107 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were tested with ceftazidime and five other agents. All bacterial strains were resistant to cefazolin but were sensitive to 32 mg/l of ceftazidime or less.

D011550	Pseudomonas aeruginosa	A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D004755	Enterobacteriaceae	A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock.	Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
