| a review of 105 necropsies in captive baboons (papio cynocephalus). | in contrast to the findings in newly caught babboons in africa, the leading cause of death in captivity in america was a pneumonia and enteritis complex. bacterial species such as proteus morgani, proteus mirabilis, clostridium sp., pseudomonas paracolon, pathogenic escherichia coli and cocci have been isolated in association with a pneumoenteric syndrome of 35 newborn baboons, including neonates. the majority of these animals died with pulmonary factors such as anoxia and pneumonia. | 1975 | 808667 |

| urinary pathogens in the male. | evidence is presented that the pathogens causing urinary infection in boys differ significantly from those causing infection in girls and in adult males. studies of the prepuce floria in boys known to have had urinary infection and in matched controls suggest that the focus of infection is in the preputial sac or urethra rather than the bowel as in girls. it is suggested that the difference in infecting organisms in boys and in adult males may be related to prostatic secretion. | 1975 | 817760 |
| polymicrobic bacteriuria: significant association with bacteremia. | current clinical practice states that a urine culture yielding three or more isolates must be considered a contaminated specimen and discarded. the validity of this practice was tested by reviewing all patients at the west haven veterans administration hospital with positive blood cultures for 1 year to determine how many were associated with polymicrobic bacteriuria (two or more urine isolates each present at greater than 10(5) colonies/ml). during 1973 there were 18 patients who had bacteremia ... | 1976 | 818108 |

| clinical experience with tobramycin in the treatment of infections due to gram-negative bacilli. | tobramycin, a new aminocyclitol antimicrobial agent, was administered parenterally to 28 patients infected with gram-negative bacilli. the dosage was 1.5 mg/kg every 8 hours, except in patients with renal insufficiency in whom the dosage interval was 10 times the serum creatinine in hours. serum levels after intramuscular administration were 3.9 +/- 1.6 mug/ml and 1.0 +/- 0.7 mug/ml at 2 and 8 hours, respectively. serum levels after intravenous administration were 4.6 +/- 0.5 mug/ml, 2.3 +/- 0.6 ... | 1976 | 820195 |
| tobramycin: in vitro and clinical evaluation in 30 patients. | clinical evaluation of intramuscular tobramycin was accomplished in 30 patients with respiratory, soft tissue, urinary tract, bone or septicemic infections due to gram negative bacilli. median sensitivity to tobramycin of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (19 strains) was 0.62 mug/ml and range 0.31-2.5 mug/ml; less activity was observed for escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis, klebsiella pneumoniae and enterobacter species isolates but median minimum inhibitory concentrations were less than or equ ... | 1976 | 820196 |

| in vitro evaluation of cefoxitin and cefamandole. | cefoxitin and cefamandole were evaluated in vitro against 263 organisms. studies were performed in mueller-hinton and nutrient broth and agar employing inoculum sizes of 10(6) and 10(8) organisms per ml. at obtainable serum levels both antibiotics were bactericidal for nearly all strains of escherichia coli, klebsiella, proteus mirabilis, and staphylococcus aureus but were inactive against pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterococcus. in agar, cefamandole appeared to be active against most strains of ... | 1976 | 820241 |
| [antibacterial activity of antibiotics in human bile (author's transl)]. | marked differences exist between antibacterial activity in human bile and broth. whereas penicillins and cephalosporines exhibit virtually the same activity in broth and bile, tetracycline shows a great lose, and the activity of the aminoglykosides is increased in bile. minimal inhibitory concentrations of chlorampenicol and co-trimoxazole are also different in broth and human bile. the differences in activity are related to the ph although not all deviations can be attributed to the effect of t ... | 1976 | 820649 |
| comparative evaluation of five aminoglycosides for treatment. | gentamicin, tobramycin, sisomicin, amikacin and kanamycin are compared for therapeutic use by correlating the in vitro minimal inhibitory concentration with the in vivo concentration of the antibiotic attainable in the serum at half the time intervall between two administrations of the drugs. using this method of evaluation, e. coli, enterobacter and sensitive strains of the klebsiella and pseudomonas species can be treated in principle equally well with gentamicin, tobramycin and sisomicin, and ... | 1976 | 820656 |

| [antibacterial activity of a carbenicillin-cephaloridin combination]. | the effectiveness of the combination of carbenicilline and cephaloridine in the ratio of 4:1 was studied. the antibacterial activity of the association whether in vitro or in vivo is sinergic, that is, superior to the simply addition by the individual components. the hematic levels of the combination remain high up to 5 hours after the administration and are greater than those obtained with carbenicilline alone. levels in the urine are high, therefore the species judged to be resistent in vitro ... | 1975 | 821404 |
| in vitro studies with sisomicin and gentamicin. | sisomicin and gentamicin were tested in vitro against 222 clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria using the ics agar dilution procedure. the two drugs were comparable in terms of overall activity although statistical analyses of the data revealed significant differences in their activity against several genera. sisomicin was significantly more active against pseudomonas aeruginosa (p less than 0.001), proteus mirabilis (p less than 0.005), and escherichia coli (p less than 0.01); gentamicin was ... | 1976 | 821725 |
