Estudio comparativo entre la acción de un nuevo amino-glucosido (Netilmicina) y la de nueve antibióticos de uso común sobre cepas bacterianas colombianas

Abstract

Susceptibility testing on 302 bacterial strains from 17 different species isolated from clinical sources were performed, in order to compare their susceptibility to a new aminoglycoside recently introduced in the country with 10 of the most common antibiotics in clinical use. The usefullness of this type of study when a new type of antibiotic is introduced in a community is emphasized so the clinicians can have a solid knowledge of its activity on the local bacterial strains.
