Influence of the pre-treatment duration of infection on the efficacies of various antibiotic regimens in experimental streptococcal endocarditis.
1993
The influence of the pre-treatment duration of infection on the efficacies of three different antibiotic regimens was investigated in a rabbit model of subacute endocarditis caused by a novel, nutritionally-variant species, Streptococcus adjacens strain GaD T . Treatment was initiated either 6 or 10 days after bacterial inoculation (days 7 and 11 respectively) and comprised procaine penicillin (150,000 IU/kg bd), alone or combined with tobramycin (12 mg/kg od), teicoplanin (10 mg/kg bd), all administered by the intramuscular route for 4 days. The MICs and MBCs of penicillin, tobramycin and teicoplanin were 0.015 and 1 mg/L, 8 and 16 mg/L and 0.25 and 256 mg/L respectively
