- W2085506469 abstract "We tested the efficacy of quinupristin/dalfopristin, an antibiotic made up of dalfopristin (70%) and quinupristin (30%) against a large panel of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains. The pneumococcal isolates (217) included 200 penicillin-resistant and 17 penicillin-susceptible clinical isolates. Eighty-nine of the 200 resistant bacteria showed an intermediate level and 111/200 showed a high level of resistance to penicillin. Of the highly resistant strains, 56/111 belonged to the multidrug-resistant Spanish/USA epidemic clone of S. pneumoniae, as defined by appropriate genetic techniques. The resistant panel also included six isolates of another multidrug-resistant epidemic clone: isolates with capsular type 6B belonging to the Spanish/Icelandic clone of S. pneumoniae. Quinupristin/dalfopristin had a uniform mean MIC of 0.25 mg/L against all pneumococcal isolates, including 37 strains representing a wide spectrum of erythromycin MICs, from 0.03 up to 8.0 mg/L. Quinupristin/dalfopristin showed powerful bactericidal activity against a penicillin-susceptible test strain in vitro and against representatives of both the Spanish/USA and the Spanish/Icelandic multidrug-resistant clones. The rate of bactericidal activity was independent of drug concentration between 2.5 x and 10 x MIC. Quinupristin/dalfopristin was also tested in a rabbit model of experimental meningitis using 50 mg/kg i.v. bolus injections and a penicillin-susceptible capsular type 3 S. pneumoniae strain as the test organism. Quinupristin/dalfopristin had no effect on the intracisternal growth of bacteria when the drug was injected before CSF inflammation, whereas it caused a 2 log kill in 2 h, after which bacterial growth in the CSF resumed, when injected i.v. at a time of inflammation. When a second dose was given 2 h later, this produced a 3 log loss of viability after 4 h. A single injection of ampicillin 50 mg/kg i.v. caused a similar 3 log kill after 4 h under comparable conditions." @default.
