Objetivos. Evaluamos la actividad in vitro de delafloxacino y la sinergia entre cefotaxima y delafloxacino entre aislados invasivos de Streptococcus pneumoniae no sensibles a cefotaxima (SPNSC).
Material y métodos. Se estudiaron un total de 30 SPNSC (CIM de cefotaxima > 0,5 mg/L). El serotipado se realizó mediante la reacción Pneumotest-Latex y Quellung. Las concentraciones mínimas inhibitorias (CMI) de delafloxacino, levofloxacino, penicilina, cefotaxima, eritromicina y vancomicina se determinaron mediante tiras de difusión en gradiente (GDS).
La actividad sinérgica de delafloxacino y cefotaxima frente aislados clínicos de S. pneumoniae se evaluó mediante el método cruzado GDS.
Resultados. Delafloxacino mostró una mayor actividad neumocócica que su comparador levofloxacino (CIM50, 0,004 versus 0,75 mg/L y MIC90, 0,047 versus > 32 mg/L). Se identificó resistencia a delafloxacino en 7/30 (23,3%) aislados, pertenecientes a los serotipos 14 y 9V. Se detectó sinergia entre delafloxacino y cefotaxima en 2 cepas (serotipos 19A y 9V). No se observó antagonismo. La adición de delafloxacino aumentó la actividad de cefotaxima en todos los aislados. La sensibilidad a delafloxacino se restableció en 5/7 (71,4%) cepas.
Conclusiones. SPNSC mostraron una susceptibilidad a delafloxacino del 76,7%. Se observaron interacciones sinérgicas in vitro entre delafloxacino y cefotaxima entre SPNSC mediante el método cruzado GDS.
Objectives. We assessed the in vitro activity of delafloxacin and the synergy between cefotaxime and delafloxacin among cefotaxime non-susceptible invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (CNSSP).
Material and methods. A total of 30 CNSSP (cefotaxime MIC > 0.5 mg/L) were studied. Serotyping was performed by the Pneumotest-Latex and Quellung reaction. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of delafloxacin, levofloxacin, penicillin, cefotaxime, erythromycin and vancomycin were determined by gradient diffusion strips (GDS). Synergistic activity of delafloxacin plus cefotaxime against clinical S. pneumoniae isolates was evaluated by the GDS cross method.
Results. Delafloxacin showed a higher pneumococcal activity than its comparator levofloxacin (MIC50, 0.004 versus 0.75 mg/L and MIC90, 0.047 versus >32 mg/L). Resistance to delafloxacin was identified in 7/30 (23.3%) isolates, belonging to serotypes 14 and 9V. Synergy between delafloxacin and cefotaxime was detected in 2 strains (serotypes 19A and 9V). Antagonism was not observed. Addition of delafloxacin increased the activity of cefotaxime in all isolates. Delafloxacin susceptibility was restored in 5/7 (71.4%) strains.
Conclusions. CNSSP showed a susceptibility to delafloxacin of 76.7%. Synergistic interactions between delafloxacin and cefotaxime were observed in vitro among CNSSP by GDS cross method.
