Anaerobic Resistance of Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus to Aminoglycosides†
AUTOR(ES)
Harrell, Lizzie J.
RESUMO
The anaerobic minimum inhibitory concentration of six aminoglycosides (amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, netilmicin, sisomicin, and tobramycin) averaged over 10-fold greater than the aerobic minimum inhibitory concentration for 50 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. Cultures from osteomyelitis and blood generally showed a somewhat greater increase in minimum inhibitory concentration due to anaerobiosis than did cultures from abscesses and wounds, and amikacin activity was most affected by anaerobiosis.
