Susceptibility tests were performed on 2402 of consecutive isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and 254 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in five separate medical centres. Five beta-lactams were evaluated with and without a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The effect of different inhibitors was species specific and the rank order of decreasing efficacy against all enteric bacilli was: cefoperazone-sulbactam > piperacillin-tazobactam > cefoperazone > ticarcillin-clavulanic acid > piperacillin > co-amoxiclav > ampicillin-sulbactam > ticarcillin > ampicillin > amoxycillin.

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

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.

D047090 beta-Lactams Four-membered cyclic AMIDES, best known for the PENICILLINS based on a bicyclo-thiazolidine, as well as the CEPHALOSPORINS based on a bicyclo-thiazine, and including monocyclic MONOBACTAMS. The BETA-LACTAMASES hydrolyze the beta lactam ring, accounting for BETA-LACTAM RESISTANCE of infective bacteria. beta-Lactam,4-Thia-1-Azabicyclo(3.2.0)Heptanes,4-Thia-1-Azabicyclo(4.2.0)Octanes,beta Lactam,beta Lactams
