| Abstract | Objective. To evaluate in vitro activity of amoxicilin, amoxicilin-clavulanic acid, cefalexin, cefdinir, cefixime, cefditoren, ceftibuten, cefuroxime, chlaritromycin and levofloxacin against 800 bacterial strains isolated from patients with acute respiratory infections. Material and methods. Prospective study in 800 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (285), Haemophilus influenzae (220), Streptococcus pyogenes (177), and Moraxella catarrhalis (118) from the same number of patients with acute respiratory infections, using a microdilution plate method to determine minimal inhibitory concentrations 50 and 90, and percents of sensitivity. Results. 285 strains correspond to S. pneumoniae, 220 to H. influenzae, 177 to S. pyogenes, and 118 to M. catarrhalis, the most active of the twelve antimicrobials evaluated was ceftibuten, which shows the lowest MIC. Conclusions. Ceftibuten is a good alternative therapeutic option in the treatment of community acute respiratory infections. |
