The in vitro activities of faropenem and other antimicrobial agents were determined against 4,725 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, 2,614 Haemophilus influenzae isolates, and 1,193 Moraxella catarrhalis isolates collected from 273 U.S. laboratories during 1999. Faropenem MICs at which 90% of isolates are inhibited were 0.008, 0.25, and 1 microg/ml for penicillin-susceptible, -intermediate, and -resistant S. pneumoniae strains, respectively; 0.5 and 1 microg/ml for beta-lactamase-positive and -negative H. influenzae strains, respectively; and 0.12 and 0.5 microg/ml for beta-lactamase-negative and -positive M. catarrhalis strains, respectively. Faropenem holds promise as an oral therapy for community-acquired respiratory tract infections.
1999年期间,从美国273家实验室收集了4725株肺炎链球菌、2614株流感嗜血杆菌和1193株卡他莫拉菌,测定了法罗培南和其他抗菌药物的体外活性。对于青霉素敏感、中介和耐药的肺炎链球菌菌株,抑制90%菌株的法罗培南最低抑菌浓度(MIC)分别为0.008、0.25和1微克/毫升;对于β-内酰胺酶阳性和阴性的流感嗜血杆菌菌株,MIC分别为0.5和1微克/毫升;对于β-内酰胺酶阴性和阳性的卡他莫拉菌菌株,MIC分别为0.12和0.5微克/毫升。法罗培南有望成为社区获得性呼吸道感染的口服治疗药物。
