  • Title: Increased bactericidal activity as documented by serum bactericidal titers for a triple combination of cell wall active agents against gentamicin-resistant enterococci.
    Author: Antony SJ, Matherin P, Stratton C.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1995; 27(4):401-3. PubMed ID: 8658079.
    Abstract:
    Infections caused by entercocci have become increasingly difficult to treat because these bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin. A consensus for an optimal therapy of enterococcal infections caused by resistant isolates has not yet been determined. We present a patient with prolonged enterococcal sepsis in whom a combination of ampicillin, vancomycin and imipenem was ultimately successful in suppressing enterococcal bacteremia. The enhanced activity of this triple combination was documented by the results of serial serum bactericidal titers.
