1 Antimicrobial activities of piperacillin alone and in combination with tazobactam against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Tazobactam beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
2 Tazobactam (YTR 830), a new beta-lactamase inhibitor, was evaluated for its effect in combination with piperacillin, a broad spectrum, but beta-lactamase sensitive, penicillin, against 14 common bacteria. Tazobactam beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
3 For the beta-lactamase producers, tazobactam decreased the MICs of piperacillin prominently in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, Salmonella species and Bacteroides fragilis, with a 4-fold or greater decrease in MIC50, MIC90 and the geometric mean of MIC. Tazobactam beta-lactamase Staphylococcus aureus
4 We conclude that tazobactam is an effective beta-lactamase inhibitor for increasing the antimicrobial activity of piperacillin against beta-lactamase producing strains of many species of bacteria. Tazobactam beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
5 We conclude that tazobactam is an effective beta-lactamase inhibitor for increasing the antimicrobial activity of piperacillin against beta-lactamase producing strains of many species of bacteria. Tazobactam beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
