Disease relevance of nafcillin

 

High impact information on nafcillin

  • The combinations of gentamicin sulfate, nafcillin sodium, or vancomycin hydrochloride with rifampin prevented the emergence of rifampin resistance in vitro and promoted enhanced killing when compared with either antibiotic alone [5].
  • Addition of nafcillin to cultures of this strain caused a rapid increase in the amount of this PBP in cell membranes [2].
  • Slime-producing CNS were recovered from PVC catheters after overnight incubation in cidal concentrations (greater than 4.0 micrograms/ml) of nafcillin (average 350 colony-forming units per 1 cm) [6].
  • This study assessed the effect of cirrhosis and extrahepatic biliary obstruction in man on the pharmacokinetics of nafcillin [3].
  • His prothrombin time ranged between 14 and 17 s (control, 12 s) despite an increase in his warfarin dosage to 25 mg/d. Pharmacokinetic studies showed that the decreased hypoprothrombinemic effect of warfarin was most likely due to rapid metabolism of the anticoagulant induced by nafcillin [7].
