Abstract
The activity of cefpirome against gram-positive isolates from cancer patients was compared to that of currently available extended-spectrum cephalosporins. Cefpirome was active against methicillin-susceptible, coagulase-positive, and coagulase-negative staphylococci. It was the most active agent against streptococci belonging to Lancefield groups A, B and G andStreptococcus pneumoniae. 76% of enterococcal isolates were susceptible to cefpirome — far more than any of the other agents tested. Die Aktivität von Cefpirom gegen grampositive Isolate von krebskranken Patienten wurde mit derjenigen verfügbarer Cephalosporine mit erweitertem Wirkungsspektrum verglichen. Cefpirom war wirksam gegen Methicillin-empfindliche, Koagulase-positive, und Koagulase-negative Staphylokokken. Seine Aktivität gegen Streptokokken der Lancefield-Gruppen A, B und G und gegenStreptococcus pneumoniae war von allen getesteten Substanzen am höchsten. 76% der Enterokokkenisolate waren gegen Cefpirom empfindlich — dieser Prozentsatz ist weit höher als bei den anderen geprüften Substanzen.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
