Antimicrobial susceptibility of bordetella pertussis (Part I)

Antibiotika-Empfindlichkeit von Bordetella pertussis

Summary

In this review of the literature data are collected from the more recent studies on the susceptibility ofBordetella pertussis to penicillins, cephalosporins, other beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, erythromycin, josamycin, co-trimoxazole and various other antibiotics. The methods of susceptibility testing ofB. pertussis are discussed and suggestions for standardization are made.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Literatur-Übersicht werden Daten aus neueren Arbeiten zusammengestellt über die Empfindlichkeit vonBordetella pertussis gegen Penicilline, Cephalosporine, andere Beta-Laktam-Antibiotika, Aminoglykoside, Tetrazykline, Erythromycin, Josamycin, Co-trimoxazol und verschiedene andere Antibiotika. Die Verfahren zur Empfindlichkeitstestung vonB. pertussis werden diskutiert, und es werden Vorschläge für eine Standardisierung gemacht.
