説明
Nocardicin A, a new monocyclic β-lactam antibiotic, exerts a comparatively potent antimicrobial activity against gram-negative organisms, especiallyPseudomonas aeruginosa, the indole-positive and indole-negativeProteusgroups (exceptPr. morganii), Serratia marcescens and theNeisseria groups. The in vitroantimicrobial activity of nocardicin A against clinical isolates ofPs. aeruginosa was about twice that of carbenicillin. The mean MICs of nocardicin A forPr. mirabilis, Pr. rettgeri and Pr. inconstans ranged from 3.13 to 12.5 μg/ml and were 25-50 μg/ml forPr. vulgaris. Nocardicin A in concentrations of 12.5-50 μg/ml inhibited 30 strains (48%) ofS. inarcescens usually resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. However, nocardicin A had no significantin vitro activity againstStaphylococci andEscherichia coli. No cross-resistance was seen between nocardicin A and other β-lactam antibiotics. This antibiotic was stable to β-lactamase. Thein vitroactivity of nocardicin A againstPs. aeruginosa andPr. mirabilis was greatly influenced by the assay media used. Nocardicin A was bactericidal and appeared to act synergistically with serum bactericidal factors against Ps. aeruginosa and with polymorphonuclear leukocytes againstPs. aeruginosa, E. coli and Pr. vulgaris. The bactericidal activity of nocardicin A against the above 3 organisms, therefore, increased markedly in the presence of fresh serum and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
