Author(s): Anuradha Sriram* and Neeraj Kumar Tulara
Abstract
Background and objective: Antibiotic resistance has risen perilously in all parts of the world. The lack of appropriate therapeutics to encounter resistant pathogens has enhanced the urge for the development of either new antibiotics or adjuvant therapy with antibiotics. Thus, we aimed to study a comparative antibiogram pattern of 102 clinical isolates towards Elores (a novel antibiotic and adjutant entity of ceftriaxone, sulbactam and disodium edetate) and other antibiotics (colistin, piperacillin/tazobactam, tigecycline, cefoperazone+sulbactam and cefepime+tazobactam). Methods: The clinical samples collected from infective patients admitted to Tertiary care Hospital, Mumbai (India) between June 2016 to December 2016 was further subjected to bacterial identification. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was executed in accordance with the recommendations of ..
