The in vitro activity of ABT-773, a new ketolide, was compared with those of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, and tetracycline against 15 strains of Helicobacter pylori. The MIC of ABT-773 at which 90% of isolates were inhibited was 0.25 microg/ml, which was 3 dilutions higher than that of the most active agent, clarithromycin. Synergy and antagonism were not seen with any combinations. Additive activity was seen with tetracycline, metronidazole, and amoxicillin in 100, 60, and 40% of the combinations, respectively.

The antibiotic resistance patterns of fecal streptococci and fecal coliforms isolated from domestic wastewater and animal feces were determined using a battery of antibiotics (amoxicillin, ampicillin, cephalothin, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, erythromycin, streptomycin, and vancomycin) at four concentrations each. The sources of animal feces included wild birds, cattle, chickens, dogs, pigs, and raccoons. Antibiotic resistance patterns of fecal streptococci and fecal coliforms from known sources were grouped into two separate databases, and discriminant analysis of these patterns was used to establish the relationship between the antibiotic resistance patterns and the bacterial source. The fecal streptococcus and fecal coliform databases classified isolates from known sources with similar accuracies. The average rate of correct classification for the fecal streptococcus database was 62.3%, and that for the fecal coliform database was 63.9%. The sources of fecal streptococci and fecal coliforms isolated from surface waters were identified by discriminant analysis of their antibiotic resistance patterns. Both databases identified the source of indicator bacteria isolated from surface waters directly impacted by septic tank discharges as human. At sample sites selected for relatively low anthropogenic impact, the dominant sources of indicator bacteria were identified as various animals. The antibiotic resistance analysis technique promises to be a useful tool in assessing sources of fecal contamination in subtropical waters, such as those in Florida.

A 4-year retrospective study was undertaken at the Kilifi District Hospital on the coast of Kenya to determine the antibiotic-susceptibility patterns and genotypes of non-typhi Salmonella (NTS) isolates from children. Overall, during the period 1994-97, positive cultures were obtained from 543 (14%) of 3885 blood samples, 364 (30%) of 1210 stool samples and 143 (11%) of 1283 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. NTS were isolated from 151 (27.8%), 72 (19.8%), and 11 (7.7%) of these positive cultures, respectively. The total 234 NTS isolates were serotyped: the most frequent were Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (41%) and S. enterica serotype Typhimurium (38%). Antibiotic sensitivity testing was done using ampicillin (amp), chloramphenicol (chl), gentamicin (cn), co-trimoxazole (s-t), cefuroxime (cxm), ciprofloxacin (cip), cefotaxime (ctx), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 20 micrograms-10 micrograms (amc), and tobramycin (tob). Of the 234 isolates, 43 were sensitive to all antibiotics tested and 133 were multiple drug resistant (MDR). The most common resistance type seen was amp, cn, cxm, s-t, ctx, amc, tob (36/234). Our results indicate a high proportion of MDR amongst the isolates from Kilifi. We conclude that 2 major serotypes of salmonella, i.e., S. enterica serotype Typhimurium and S. enterica serotype Enteritidis, of micro-epidemic nature that have been previously unrecognized in Kilifi are responsible for infection in Kilifi district on the coast of Kenya and that over half (56.8%) of total NTS isolates are MDR.
