Abstract
The killing kinetics of cefotaxime and fosfomycin, alone and in combination, against seven clinical isolates of penicillin-resistant pneumococci were studied. The antibiotics were tested at 1 ×, 2 × and 4 × the MIC for each individual isolate. The results showed a synergic interaction of the two antibiotics for three of the seven strains. This strategy may be useful clinically.Keywords
