Abstract
The effects of antibiotic combinations against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections frequently found in hospitalized patients were investigated. By means of an agar plate dilution checkerboard method, combinations of piperacillin-fosfomycin, cefoperazone-fosfomycin, and cefsulodin-fosfomycin were synergistic against 80.0, 85.0, and 82.6% of the strains tested. The mean fractional inhibitory concentration indices of piperacillin-fosfomycin, cefoperazone-fosfomycin, and cefsulodin-fosfomycin were 0.48, 0.42, and 0.46, respectively. The synergistic activities of these combinations were enhanced by the addition of a small amount of tobramycin, 0.25 micrograms/ml.Entities:
