Clinical TherapeuticsAmpicillin and Ceftriaxone Solution Stability at Different Temperatures in Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial TherapyThe inclusion of ampicillin-containing regimens in outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy programs (OPAT) depends upon solution stability under conditions similar to those experienced in these programs. Lack of this information could hinder the inclusion in OPAT of patients suffering from Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis treated with ampicillin plus...
Clinical TherapeuticsMeropenem versus Cefotaxime and Ampicillin as Empirical Antibiotic Treatment in Adult Bacterial Meningitis: a Quality Registry Study, 2008 to 2016Cefotaxime, alone or with ampicillin, is frequently used in empirical treatment of acute bacterial meningitis (ABM). Meropenem is a less extensively investigated alternative. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of empirical treatment with meropenem compared to cefotaxime plus ampicillin on outcome in ABM. The study was based on data from the Swedish quality register for ABM collected between January 2008 and December...
Challenging Clinical Case in Antimicrobial ResistanceTreatment of Multidrug-Resistant Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Hardware-Associated Vertebral Osteomyelitis with Oritavancin plus AmpicillinWeekly oritavancin plus ampicillin continuous infusion combination therapy was used to successfully treat a deep spine vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infection associated with hardware. Checkerboard and time-kill assays confirmed synergy between these two antibiotics.
Editor's Pick Clinical TherapeuticsProspective Observational Study of the Clinical Prognoses of Patients with Bloodstream Infections Caused by Ampicillin-Susceptible but Penicillin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalisThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical impacts of ampicillin-susceptible but penicillin-resistant (ASPR) phenotypes of Enterococcus faecalis on clinical outcomes in patients with bloodstream infection (BSI). A total of 295 patients with an E. faecalis BSI from six sentinel hospitals...
