In vitro sensitivity of anaerobic bacteria to fosfomycin. 1977

A Altés Gutiérrez, and A Rodríguez Noriega

The minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined in 98 strains of anaerobic bacteria that came from clinical samples against fosfomycin, penicillin, cephalothin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, clindamycin and lincomycin. The results obtained indicate that fosfomycin is usually inactive against Bacteroides sp. and is active up to 32 mug/ml or less against 85% of Peptococcus and 95% of Peptostreptococcus, being consequently comparatively less active than the rest of the antibiotics that were tested against Bacteroides, sp., while against Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus it is less active than penicillin, cephalothin, clindamycin and lincomycin, and somewhat more active than chloramphenicol and tetracycline.

D010403 Penicillin Resistance Nonsusceptibility of an organism to the action of penicillins. Penicillin Resistances,Resistance, Penicillin,Resistances, Penicillin
D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065) Antibiotics, Penicillin,Penicillin,Penicillin Antibiotics
D010460 Peptococcus A genus of gram-positive, anaerobic, coccoid bacteria that is part of the normal flora of the mouth, upper respiratory tract, and large intestine in humans. Its organisms cause infections of soft tissues and bacteremias.
D010462 Peptostreptococcus A genus of gram-positive, anaerobic, coccoid bacteria that is part of the normal flora of humans. Its organisms are opportunistic pathogens causing bacteremias and soft tissue infections.
D002512 Cephalothin A cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefalotin,Sodium Cephalothin,Cefalotina Normon,Cefalotina Sodica Spaly,Ceftina,Cephalothin Monosodium Salt,Keflin,Seffin,Cephalothin, Sodium,Monosodium Salt, Cephalothin,Salt, Cephalothin Monosodium
D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D002981 Clindamycin An antibacterial agent that is a semisynthetic analog of LINCOMYCIN. 7-Chloro-7-deoxylincomycin,Chlolincocin,Chlorlincocin,Cleocin,Clindamycin Hydrochloride,Clindamycin Monohydrochloride,Clindamycin Monohydrochloride, Monohydrate,Dalacin C,7 Chloro 7 deoxylincomycin,Hydrochloride, Clindamycin,Monohydrate Clindamycin Monohydrochloride,Monohydrochloride, Clindamycin,Monohydrochloride, Monohydrate Clindamycin
D003013 Clostridium A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
D005578 Fosfomycin An antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fradiae. Phosphonomycin,Fosfomycin Trometamol Salt,Fosfomycin Tromethamine,Monuril,Phosphomycin,Tromethamine, Fosfomycin
