Zusammenfassung

In vergleichenden MHK-Bestimmungen für Cefamandol, Cefoxitin, Cefuroxim und Cephalotin an je 50 Stämmen 15 verschiedener Spezies zeigte Cefamandol bei den meisten Spezies die höchste antibakterielle Aktivität. Cefamandol erfaßte auch weitgehend Cefoxitin-resistenteCitrobacter undEnterobacter. Cefamandol-resistente Klebsiellen undSerratia marcescens sind z. T. Cefoxitin-sensibel. Durch jeweils 16 mcg/ml wurden aus dem Gesamtkollektiv von 750 Kulturen durch Cefamandol 76%, durch Cefoxitin 75% und durch Cefuroxim 72% gehemmt. Die Regressionsanalysen auf Mueller-Hinton-, DST- und Iso-Sensitest-Agar ergaben für die vier untersuchten Cephalosporine eine sehr gute Korrelation von Hemmhofdurchmesser und MHK. Die Grenzhemmhofdurchmesser zur Unterscheidung sensibler und resistenter Erreger sind für die einzelnen Antibiotika unterschiedlich, jedoch auf den verschiedenen Nährmedien nahezu identisch.

Summary

In comparative MIC studies for cefamandole, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, and cephalothin with 15 different species (50 strains each) cefamandole showed the highest antibacterial activity against most species including most of theCitrobacter andEnterobacter resistant to cefoxitin. Some of theKlebsiellae andSerratia marcescens resistant to cefamandole are susceptible to cefoxitin. Using 16 mcg/ml of each antibiotic cefamandole inhibited 76%, cefoxitin 75%, and cefuroxime 72% of the total of 750 strains. Regression line analyses on Mueller-Hinton, DST, and Iso-Sensitest agar medium showed excellent correlation of zone size diameter and MIC for all of the four cephalosporines. Cut-off points for the differentiation of susceptible from resistant strains are different for each antibiotic but are almost identical for the three test media investigated.
