  • Title: In vitro susceptibilities and beta-lactamase production of 53 clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis.
    Author: Alvarez S, Jones M, Holtsclaw-Berk S, Guarderas J, Berk SL.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1985 Apr; 27(4):646-7. PubMed ID: 3873905.
    Abstract:
    We tested 53 clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis recovered from patients with respiratory symptoms to determine the susceptibility of the isolates to 25 antimicrobial agents, including the newer beta-lactam antibiotics. Of the 53 strains, 46 (86.7%) were beta-lactamase producers. All the strains were susceptible to the majority of the new penicillins and cephalosporins. The combinations of amoxacillin-clavulanic acid and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid were also very active against the beta-lactamase-producing strains.
