(1) Background: Alternative antibiotics are needed to treat infective endocarditis (IE) caused by non-/non- enterococci; we aimed to assess the in vitro activity of ampicillin plus ceftriaxone (AMP + CTR) against these enterococci and to describe its clinical efficacy in IE cases. (2) Methods: Time-kill curves with standard (ISI) and high (IHI) inocula were performed to test isolates [3 (ECAS) and 1 (EGALL)] and non- isolates [1 (EDUR), 1 (EHIR) and 1 (ERAF)]. The narrative literature review of IE cases treated with AMP + CTR was analyzed alongside three study cases. Clinical outcomes were relapse and death. (3) Results: Ampicillin plus gentamicin (AMP + GEN) showed synergistic and bactericidal activity against most isolates. AMP + CTR was synergistic at ISI for EGALL, EDUR, and EHIR and bactericidal against EHIR. At IHI, indifferent activity was observed for all isolates. In IE cases treated with AMP + CTR, it was only effective for EDUR and EHIR. Clinical information for EGALL IE is lacking. For IE caused by ECAS and ERAF, AMP + CTR seems suboptimal or ineffective, respectively. (4) AMP + CTR cannot be recommended for treating IE due to ECAS/ERAF. In contrast, this combination was effective in IE caused by EDUR/EHIR and could be recommended.
(1) 背景:需要替代抗生素来治疗由非肠球菌引起的感染性心内膜炎(IE);我们旨在评估氨苄西林加头孢曲松(AMP + CTR)对这些肠球菌的体外活性,并描述其在IE病例中的临床疗效。(2) 方法:采用标准接种量(ISI)和高接种量(IHI)进行时间杀菌曲线试验,以检测分离株[3株(ECAS)和1株(EGALL)]和非分离株[1株(EDUR)、1株(EHIR)和1株(ERAF)]。对用AMP + CTR治疗的IE病例的叙述性文献综述与三个研究病例一起进行了分析。临床结局为复发和死亡。(3) 结果:氨苄西林加庆大霉素(AMP + GEN)对大多数分离株显示出协同和杀菌活性。AMP + CTR在ISI时对EGALL、EDUR和EHIR具有协同作用,对EHIR具有杀菌作用。在IHI时,所有分离株均观察到无差异活性。在用AMP + CTR治疗的IE病例中,它仅对EDUR和EHIR有效。缺乏EGALL IE的临床信息。对于由ECAS和ERAF引起的IE,AMP + CTR似乎分别次优或无效。(4) 不推荐使用AMP + CTR治疗由ECAS/ERAF引起的IE。相比之下,这种联合用药对由EDUR/EHIR引起的IE有效,可以推荐使用。
