In vitro activities of Ro 17-2301 and aztreonam compared with those of other new beta-lactam antibiotics against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 1985

W W Ng, and P Y Chau, and Y K Leung, and D M Livermore

The in vitro activities of Ro 17-2301 and aztreonam against 191 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were compared with those of five other beta-lactam antibiotics. Both compounds showed activities comparable to that of ceftazidime and were bactericidal. They were as effective against gentamicin-or carbenicillin-resistant isolates as against susceptible ones.

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.

D001398 Aztreonam A monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is resistant to beta-lactamases and is used in gram-negative infections, especially of the meninges, bladder, and kidneys. It may cause a superinfection with gram-positive organisms.
