The likelihood of bacterial resistance now prevents the use of oxytetracycline in the empirical therapy of anaerobic infections. This study investigates the in-vitro activity of two semi-synthetic derivatives, doxycycline and minocycline, against a range of anaerobic bacteria. MICs for each antibiotic were determined by an agar incorporation technique. Doxycycline and minocycline were four to eight times more active against the majority of strains than oxytetracycline. With the exception of Bacteroides bivius, almost 90% of strains were inhibited by 4 mg/l of doxycycline or minocycline, but resistance to the same concentration of oxytetracycline was present in 60% of the B. fragilis group, 30% of Peptostreptococcus spp. and 24% of Clostridium perfringens. Doxycycline and minocycline represent an alternative therapy for anaerobic infections where bacterial sensitivities are known.

Ureaplasma urealyticum has been considered to be a pathogen of nongonococcal urethritis. To elucidate the pathogenicity of this microorganism in chronic prostatitis, U. urealyticum was isolated from patients with chronic prostatitis and prostatodynia. Using the Taylor-Robinson's method, U. urealyticum was detected in expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) or urine voided after prostatic massage (VB3) in 40 (41.2%) out of 97 patients with chronic prostatitis and 6 (20.0%) out of 30 patients with prostatodynia. Seventeen patients with U. urealyticum-positive chronic prostatitis, 13 of whom had failed to respond to the treatment by other antimicrobial agents, were treated with minocycline. In 16 (94.1%) of the 17 patients, U. urealyticum was eradicated and in 14 patients (82.4%), the elevated white blood cell count was markedly lowered in EPS or VB3. U. urealyticum may prove to be an etiological microorganism of chronic prostatitis.

A one year survey of meningococcal disease in Italy.

For the last ten years, meningococcal disease has been endemic in Italy with an annual average of 900 cases (rate of 1.6/100,000). The age specific attack rate has been highest for children under one year of age, and the majority of cases have been due to serogroup B. During 1985, the epidemiology of meningococcal disease changed substantially: twice as many cases were observed in males as in females. There was a shift toward older age groups, with the highest number of cases occurring in the 15-24 year old age group (25%). The frequency in army recruits was 17.3/100,000, as opposed to 1/100,000 for the general population. Serogroup C caused the majority of cases (75.8% of the isolates). The proportion of strains resistant to sulfonamides was 71.1%, while only one strain was resistant to rifampin and none to minocycline. Seven secondary cases occurred (2%): in five, chemoprophylaxis was inappropriate (sulfonamide), and in two, no drug was given. A single co-primary case was seen. We conclude that in Italy, the use of sulfa drugs as chemoprophylactic agents is not warranted at present, compulsory vaccination of army recruits with bivalent vaccine (A + C) is advisable, and the shift in age distribution of cases and the high predominance of serogroup C increases the need for careful surveys.
