In vitro activity of garenoxacin against recent clinical isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae

The in vitro activities of garenoxacin, a novel des-F (6)-quinolone, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and clarithromycin were tested against 30 recent clinical isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited and the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) at which 90% of the isolates were killed by garenoxacin for C. pneumoniae was 0.03 mg/l (range 0.015–0.03 mg/l).     

In vitro antibacterial activities of carbapenems against clinical isolates

Antibacterial activities of four carbapenems, imipenem, panipenem, meropenem, and biapenem, were determined using 353 strains belonging to 18 bacterial species which were isolated from clinical materials at Ehime University Hospital. The MIC values of these carbapenems against MRSA were widely distributed between 0.1 and 100 micrograms/ml, and MIC90 values of these 4 carbapenems were 25-50 micrograms/ml. Any of these carbapenems prevented the bacterial growth of enterobacteriaceae of 8 bacterial species excluding S. macrescens at concentrations of 1 microgram/ml or less. The MIC values against P. aeruginosa showed relatively wide distribution, being 0.39-25 micrograms/ml for imipenem, 0.2-25 micrograms/ml for panipenem, 0.1-12.5 micrograms/ml for meropenem, and 0.2-12.5 micrograms/ml for biapenem. From those results, it was confirmed that any of the carbapenems tested had a wide antibacterial spectrum and strong antibacterial activities.     

In vitro antibacterial activity of various cephems against clinical isolates from complicated urinary tract infections

In vitro antibacterial activity of several cephems (CEZ as the first generation (group A); CTM and CMZ as the second generation (group B); CMX, CPZ, LMOX, CTX and CZX as the third generation (group C)) against 8 species, each of 54 strains, of Gram-negative clinical isolates from complicated urinary tract infection was compared by determination of the MICs. The following results were obtained: The most sensitive drugs against each species in MIC80; CTX (MIC80 0.20 microgram/ml) against E. coli, CMX (1.56 microgram/ml) against K. pneumoniae, LMOX (0.39 microgram/ml) against P. mirabilis, LMOX (0.78 microgram/ml) against Indole (+) Proteus, CMX and CPZ (50 micrograms/ml) against E. cloacae, CMX and LMOX (50 micrograms/ml) against C. freundii, CMX (3.13 micrograms/ml) against S. marcescens and CPZ (25 micrograms/ml) against P. aeruginosa The most sensitive drugs against each species in MICS100; CMX (MIC100 3.13 micrograms/ml) against E. coli, CMX (6.25 micrograms/ml) against K. pneumoniae, CTX (0.78 microgram/ml) against P. mirabilis, LMOX (1.56 microgram/ml) against Indole (+) Proteus, CPZ (100 micrograms/ml) against E. cloacae, CMX (100 micrograms/ml) against C. freundii, CMX (12.5 microgram/ml) against S. marcescens and CPZ (50 micrograms/ml) against P. aeruginosa. In each species, the group C were most sensitive followed by those of the group B. Many isolates were highly resistant to the group A (especially in C. freundii, S. marcescens and P. aeruginosa).     

In vitro antibacterial activities of telithromycin against clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

In vitro antibacterial activity of telithromycin (TEL) against the isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (212 isolates) derived from urine or genital secretion in 2002 (April to December) was examined in comparison with those of macrolides (erythromycin [EM], clarithromycin [CAM]), penicillins (penicillin G [PCG]), cephems (cefodizime [CDZM], cefixime [CFIX]), quinolones (levofloxacin [LVFX]), tetracyclines (minocycline [MINO]), and aminoglycosides (spectinomycin [SPCM]). The MIC of TEL was ranged from < or = 0.039 to 0.25 microg/mL and the MIC50 and MIC90 of TEL were respectively 0.125 and 0.25 microg/mL, which were the lowest values compared with those of other oral antibacterial agents measured. When compared TEL with other agents in the order of the MIC50 and MIC90, TEL was more superior to EM and CAM (both eight times), MINO (four times and twice), and LVFX (16 and 64 times). The MIC90 of TEL was superior in twice though the MIC50 was the same in comparison with CFIX. The CDZM resistant strain did not exist and SPCM also inhibit growth with 32 microg/mL or less that was the breakpoint MIC excluding one stock though the PCG sensitive strain was only 1.4% in the injection drug. However, clinical breakpoint MIC is not established, but the efficacy of TEL is prospective because of its high antibacterial activity to inhibit growth of all stocks for gonococcus with 0.25 microg/mL. It is expected that TEL can become an oral antibiotic recommended for treatment of gonococcus if dosage and administration are considered.

In vitro activity of sitafloxacin against clinical isolates in 2009

In vitro activity of sitafloxacin (STFX) and various oral antimicrobial agents against bacterial isolates recovered from clinical specimens between January and December 2009, at different healthcare facilities in Japan was evaluated. A total of 1,620 isolates including aerobic and anaerobic organisms was available for the susceptibility testing using the microbroth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute. The minimum inhibitory concentration of STFX at which 90% of isolates (MIC90) was 0.06 microg/mL for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and was equal to that of garenoxacin (GRNX), 2 times lower than that of moxifloxacin (MFLX), and 8 times lower than that of levofloxacin (LVFX). STFX inhibited the growth of all the isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae at 0.06 microg/mL or less. The MIC90s of STFX ranged from 0.03 to 0.06 microg/mL and were 1 to 2 times lower than those of GRNX, 2 to 4 times lower than those of MFLX, and 16 to 32 times lower than those of LVFX. Against Streptococcus pyogenes, the MIC90 of STFX was 0.06 microg/mL and was 2 times lower than that of GRNX, 4 times lower than that of MFLX, and 32 times lower than that of LVFX. The MIC90 of STFX was 0.25 microg/mL for Enterococcus faecalis, and was 2 times lower than those of GRNX and MFLX, and 8 times lower than that of LVFX. The MIC90 of STFX for E. coli was 2 microg/mL, and the MIC90s of other 10 species of Enterobacteriaceae which were the lowest values of the quinolones tested ranged from 0.03 to 1 microg/mL. The MIC90 of STFX for Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from urinary infections was 8 microg/mL and was 16 times lower than those of GRNX, MFLX and LVFX. The MIC90 of STFX for P aeruginosa isolates recovered from respiratory infections was 2 microg/mL and was 32 times lower than those of GRNX and MFLX, and 16 times lower than that of LVFX. STFX inhibited the growth of all the isolates of Haemophilus influenzae at 0.004 microg/mL or less, and was 2 to 4 times lower than those of GRNX, 8 times lower than those of MFLX, and 4 times lower than those of LVFX. The MIC90 of STFX was 0.008 microg/mL for Moraxella catarrhalis, and was 2 times lower than that of GRNX, 8 times lower than those of MFLX and LVFX. The MIC90s of STFX ranged from 0.015 to 0.12 microg/mL for all the species of anaerobic bacteria and were the lowest values of all the antimicrobial agents tested. In conclusion, the activity of STFX against Gram-positive cocci was comparable or superior to those of GRNX, MFLX and LVFX. STFX showed the most potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria and anaerobic bacteria of all the antimicrobial agents tested in this study.     

In vitro activity of novel rifamycins against gram-positive clinical isolates

We describe novel rifamycins that have improved activity, compared with rifampin, against clinical isolates of staphylococci and streptococci, with MIC(90)s of 0.008 and 0.0005 microg/ml, respectively. This enhanced antibacterial activity, along with their potential lack of drug-drug interactions, are considerations that suggest the potential of these novel rifamycins in combination therapy to treat serious Gram-positive infections.     

In vitro activity of faropenem against beta-lactamase producing clinical isolates

Each 20 strains of beta-lactamase producing methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, and Bacteroides fragilis group were used as the test strains. Drug susceptibility of these strains to faropenem (FRPM), cefdinir, cefditoren, cefcapene, cefteram, cefaclor, and ampicillin was determined by an agar dilution method according to the NCCLS guideline M100-S9. beta-Lactamase activity of the test strains was determined by a spectrophotometric method. In the present study, FRPM was highly active against beta-lactamase-producing strains, and no close correlation was found between the MICs of FRPM for the test strains and their beta-lactamase activities. These results suggest that FRPM has potential in successful application for the treatment of infectious diseases with various types of bacterial pathogens including beta-lactamase producing strains.     

In vitro activity of doripenem against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates

Doripenem is a carbapenem with activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. This study evaluated the in vitro activity of doripenem against a collection of 87 Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, showing that the activity of doripenem was superior to imipenem and meropenem for strains carrying the bla(OXA-58) gene. A. baumannii clinical isolates expressing the bla(OXA-24) gene were resistant to doripenem, imipenem and meropenem. However, in clinical isolates expressing the bla(OXA-58) gene, the percentage of isolates with a doripenem minimum inhibitory concentration >8microg/mL was much lower than that of imipenem and meropenem. This study shows that the activity of doripenem was superior to imipenem and meropenem for strains carrying the bla(OXA-58) gene.

Antibacterial activity of biapenem against recent clinical isolates

Antibacterial activity of biapenem (BIPM) against clinical isolates of 8 species between 2000 and 2002 was compared with those of imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS), meropenem (MEPM), panipenem/betamipron (PAPM/BP) and ceftazidime (CAZ). The MICs of biapenem for Gram-positive bacteria were higher than those of IPM/CS and PAPM/BP, equal to those of MEPM and lower than those of CAZ. The MICs of BIPM for Gram-negative bacteria were higher than those of MEPM, equal to those of IPM/CS and PAPM/BP, and lower than those of CAZ. Antibacterial activity of BIPM against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was equal to those of IPM/CS and MEPM and superior to those of PAPM/BP and CAZ. In conclusion, BIPM showed broad antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical isolates. These results suggest that BIPM is useful for the treatment of various bacterial infections.

In vitro activity of antimicrobial agents against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Two hundred and seven clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected at Tenri Hospital between April 2003 and March 2004. We determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 16 antimicrobial agents, including prulifloxacin, pazufloxacin and biapenem which were recently published in Japan, against these isolates according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. For the fluoroquinolones, the rank order of activity was prulifloxacin (MIC50, 0.5 microg/ml)>ciprofloxacin (1 microg/ml)> pazufloxacin (2 microg/ml)=levofloxacin (2 microg/ml)>gatifloxacin (4 microg/ml). For the carbapenems, the rank order of activity was meropenem (MIC50, 1 microg/ml)=biapenem (1 microg/ml)>imipenem (2 microg/m)>panipenem (8 microg/ml). For the cephalosporins and monobactam, the overall rank order of activity was cefozopran (MIC50, 4 microg/ml)= ceftazidime (4 microg/ml)>cefepime (8 microg/ml)=piperacillin/tazobactam (8 microg/ml)>aztreonam (16 microg/ml)= cefoperazone/sulbactam (16 microg/ml)=cefpirome (16 microg/ml). The rates of susceptibility to antimicrobial agents as per the criteria of the Japanese Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy were especially high for cefozopran (63%), biapenem and meropenem (61%), and pazufloxacin (53%) and ciprofloxacin (53%). These findings suggest that prulifloxacin, pazufloxacin and biapenem, which are newly introduced, are clinically effective in the treatment of infection caused with P. aeruginosa.

In vitro antibacterial activity of ceftobiprole against clinical isolates from French teaching hospitals: proposition of zone diameter breakpoints

The aims of this study were to determine the in vitro activity profile of ceftobiprole, a pyrrolidinone cephalosporin, against a large number of bacterial pathogens and to propose zone diameter breakpoints for clinical categorisation according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) breakpoints. MICs of ceftobiprole were determined by broth microdilution against 1548 clinical isolates collected in eight French hospitals. Disk diffusion testing was performed using 30 μg disks according to the method of the Comité de l’Antibiogramme de la Société Française de Microbiologie (CA-SFM). The in vitro activity of ceftobiprole, expressed by MIC_50/90 (MICs for 50% and 90% of the organisms, respectively) (mg/L), was as follows: meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, 0.25/0.5; meticillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), 1/2; meticillin-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), 0.12/0.5; meticillin-resistant CoNS, 1/2; penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae, ≤0.008/0.03; penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, 0.12/0.5; viridans group streptococci, 0.03/0.12; β-haemolytic streptococci, ≤0.008/0.016; Enterococcus faecalis, 0.25/1; Enterococcus faecium, 64/128; Enterobacteriaceae, 0.06/32; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 4/16; Acinetobacter baumannii, 0.5/64; Haemophilus influenzae, 0.03/0.12; and Moraxella catarrhalis, 0.25/0.5. According to the regression curve, zone diameter breakpoints could be 28, 26, 24 and 22 mm for MICs of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/L respectively. In conclusion, this study confirms the potent in vitro activity of ceftobiprole against many Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA but not E. faecium, whilst maintaining a Gram-negative spectrum similar to the advanced-generation cephalosporins such as cefepime. Thus ceftobiprole appears to be well suited for the empirical treatment of a variety of healthcare-associated infections.     

In vitro activity of clinafloxacin against fluoroquinolone resistant Spanish clinical isolates.

The in vitro activity of clinafloxacin against 162 ciprofloxacin-resistant clinical isolates was determined. Isolates were selected when their MIC to ciprofloxacin was 2 mg/l (intermediate) or > 2 mg/l (resistant). The following strains were tested: 61 Escherichia coli, 12 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 7 Proteus mirabilis, 21 Serratia marcescens, 4 Enterobacter cloacae, 21 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 21 Staphylococcus. aureus (resistant to methicillin) and 15 Enterococcus spp. Clinafloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and norfloxacin activities were evaluated by agar dilution using Müeller-Hinton agar according to NCCLS recommendations. Of the 162 isolates, 16 (9.8%) were intermediate and 146 (90.1%) resistant to ciprofloxacin. 95 of the 162 strains (58.6%) were susceptible, 27 (16.7%) intermediately susceptible, and 40 strains (24.7%) were resistant to clinafloxacin. The percentage susceptible to clinafloxacin was 65.6% for E. coli, 75% for K. pneumoniae, 71.4% for P. mirabilis, 28.6% for S. marcescens, 75% for E. cloacae, 33.3% for P. aeruginosa, 90.5% for S. aureus and 40% for Enterococcus spp. Clinafloxacin was active against 58.6% of the ciprofloxacin-resistant clinical isolates tested. It was particularly active against S. aureus strains resistant to both ciprofloxacin and methicillin.
