  • Title: Activity of temocillin and comparators against urinary Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from Iran.
    Author: Rahbar M, Van de Velde S, Eslami P, Mardani M.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 2020 Sep; 39(9):1793-1796. PubMed ID: 32333223.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the ground susceptibility of urinary Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to temocillin, the susceptibility of temocillin and comparators against 500 clinical isolates (231 E. coli and 269 K. pneumoniae) was tested. Temocillin was either found as the most active antibiotic (susceptibility rate of 92%) or the fourth most active antibiotic (65%), as per its urinary and systemic breakpoint, respectively. No difference of activity was observed in isolates expressing ESBL/AmpC enzymes. Considering the percentage of isolates expressing beta-lactamases and the need to spare broad-spectrum antibiotics, temocillin seems promising for treating urinary tract infections.
