Abstract:

By using checkerboard titrations the effect of cefotiam combined with different beta-lactam antibiotics on fifty strains of Enterobacteriaceae moderately susceptible (minimal inhibiting concentration greater than or equal to 8 mg/l) or resistant (minimal inhibiting concentration greater than or equal to 64 mg/l) to cefotiam was evaluated. The following compounds were tested: cefamandole, cefazolin, cefmenoxime, cefotaxime, cefotiam, ceftazidime, cefuroxime, mecillinam and piperacillin. The synergistic effect varied markedly.
