| Abstract | A continuous-culture system (chemostat) was used to study the activities of β-lactam antimicrobial agents, clarithromycin, and 14-OH-clarithromycin against slowly growing Helicobacter pylori NCTC 11637. H. pylori was grown to steady state before exposure to these antimicrobial agents at ×8 the MIC. The bactericidal actions of combinations of amoxicillin and clarithromycin were also studied. Viable counts (numbers of CFU per milliliter) were determined at 2-h intervals for 12 h and at 20 h after the addition of antibiotics. The effects of pH changes (6.5 to 7.4) on the activities of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and the combination of these against H. pylori NCTC 11637 were also studied. Viable counts following exposure to ampicillin, cefixime, ceftazidime, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, azlocillin, and piperacillin at 20 h showed bacteriostatic activity. Imipenem, meropenem, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and 14-OH-clarithromycin reduced the viable counts by 3 log10 CFU/ml (≥99.9% killing). Imipenem was the most rapidly bactericidal against H. pylori NCTC 11637. Results of the pH experiments showed that amoxicillin was bactericidal at pHs 6.5 to 7.4. Clarithromycin was bactericidal at pH 7.0 to 7.4 but was bacteriostatic at pH 6.5. The combination of amoxicillin and clarithromycin was bactericidal at pHs 6.5 and 7.0. A batch culture (flask system) was also used to investigate 12 strains of H. pylori for their susceptibilities to β-lactams, clarithromycin, and/or 14-OH-clarithromycin in order to determine whether results from the chemostat model can be reproduced with batch cultures. Results of the chemostat time-kill kinetic study were reproducible in our batch culture flask system. The role of carbapenems in the eradication of H. pylori should be investigated. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
