- Abstract
We have isolated 20 strains of resistant to carbenicillin and/or aminoglycosides from hospitalized patients and performed antibiotic susceptibility and synergistic studies. The amikacin-carbenicillin combination showed full synergy against 85% and partial synergy against 15% of the strains. The gentamicin-carbenicillin combination showed full synergy against 75% and partial synergy against 25%; and the tobramycin-carbenicillin combination showed full synergy against 65%, partial synergy against 30%, and an indifferent effect against 5%.
