| Abstract | Minocycline was the most active of six antibiotics tested against 65 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (syn.: Herellea, Mima) received from six medical centers. In the Bauer-Kirby disk susceptibility test, all isolates were rated susceptible to minocycline, gentamicin, and polymyxin; 25% were resistant to tetracycline. In agar dilution tests, minocycline was two to four times more potent than gentamicin or polymyxin and eight times more potent than tetracycline. Ampicillin and cephalexin were relatively ineffective. Against lethal infections produced by five strains of A. calcoaceticus in mice, minocycline was, in general, more active than gentamicin or polymyxin on a dosage basis and significantly more active on a blood-level basis. Minocycline was significantly more potent than tetracycline on both dosage and blood-level bases against tetracycline-sensitive and -resistant strains. In the last decade there has been an increase in the reported incidence of acinetobacters in a variety of infections. The cultures are susceptible to few antibiotics. Our data show that minocycline could offer an effective alternative to the more toxic drugs for the treatment of these infections. Susceptibility should be determined with minocycline disks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
