Anatomical context of piperacillin

  • Sepsis associated with urinary tract infection. Antibiotic treatment with piperacillin [19].
  • Megalomicin (MGM) has been shown to cause a dilation of the most distal cisternae of the Golgi complex [20].
  • Moreover, the patient's treatment serum, while the patient was receiving piperacillin, was able to trigger histamine release from passively sensitized basophils of a donor not allergic to penicillin, suggesting the presence of a sufficient amount of complete multivalent antigen to initiate release and/or desensitization [21].
  • Sputum and serum piperacillin levels were obtained from eight patients with bronchial disease receiving a five to seven day course (8 to 16 g/day) [22].
  • Mean peak muscle and adipose tissue piperacillin concentrations of 31 and 27 micrograms/g, respectively, were reached at between 2 and 3 h after the start of infusion [23].
 

Associations of piperacillin with other chemical compounds

  • RESULTS: As a single agent, ceftazidime was as effective as the combination of piperacillin and tobramycin (62.7% satisfactory responses compared with 61.1%; odds ratio, 1.07%; 95% Cl, 0.79 to 1.44; P > 0.2) [4].
  • By using low concentrations of the beta-lactams cephalexin and piperacillin to specifically inhibit FtsI (PBP3), an enzyme that synthesizes peptidoglycan at the division septum, we show that FtsZ ring constriction requires the transpeptidase activity of FtsI [24].
  • OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) ciprofloxacin plus IV metronidazole (CIP+MET) with that of IV piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZO) in adults with complicated intraabdominal infections, and to compare the efficacy of sequential IV-to-oral CIP+MET therapy with that of the IV CIP-only regimen [25].
  • A prospective randomized, double-blind study comparing imipenem with a control regimen of piperacillin plus amikacin as empiric antibiotic therapy of febrile granulocytopenic patients with cancer is currently underway at the University of Maryland Cancer Center [26].
  • Considering the extensive knowledge surrounding the genetic engineering of the erythromycin PKS and the familiarity with genetic manipulation and fermentation of S. erythraea, the ability to produce megalomicin in this strain should allow the engineering of novel megalomicin analogues with potentially improved therapeutic activities [14].
