Abstract:
Objective We conducted an in vivo study with the mouse model of Vib rio vulnificus infection to evaluate the efficacies of combination therapy with antimicrobia l agents. Methods Vibrio vulnificus (6.0?10 8 cfu/ml)was injected intraperitoneally into the right abdominal cavity. One hour, 2 hour and 3 hour after inoculation, 7 antimicrobial agents were given alone or in combination intraperitoneally at human therapeutic dose level. The numbers of survial mouse and the supermicrostr ucture change of organs w ere observed. 7 antimicrobial agents were Imipenem, Chloramphenicol, Doxycycline Hydrochloride, Netilmicin, Cefoperazone, Piperacillin, Levofloxacin. Res ults Two hours after infection, the mouse survival rates of groups trea ted with Chloramphenicol, Levofloxacin, Netilmicin, Cefoperazone was 100%. Howev er, the survival rates in the mouse treated by Piperacillin was 60% and the surv ival rate of in the mouse treated with Imipenem or Doxycycline Hydrochloride was 20%. The survival rate in the mouse treated with Cefoperazone combined with Lev ofloxacin, Cefoperazone combined with Netilmicin, or Netilmicin combined with Do xycycline Hydrochloride, was 100%. The supermicrostructure injure of the organs in the mouse recovered. Conclusions These results indicate that Chloramphenicol, Netilmicin, Cefoperazone and Levofl oxacin alone had satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of experimental Vibrio v ulnificus infection in mouse. The combination therapies of Cefoperazone with Lev ofloxacin, Cefoperazone with Netilmicin, and Netilmicin with Doxycycline Hydroch loride are more advantageous than using antimicrobial agent alone.
