Synergistic effect of N-formimidoyl thienamycin with gentamicin and amikacin against Streptococcus faecalis

M E Gombert et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1983 Feb.

Abstract

The in vitro activities of N-formimidoyl thienamycin alone and in combination with amikacin and gentamicin were tested against 10 strains of Streptococcus faecalis. Synergy was demonstrated in 35% of the combinations tested by the microtiter checkerboard technique; 50% were found to be synergistic with time killing curves.
