Amoxicillin, a new penicillin antibiotic.

H H Handsfield, H Clark, J F Wallace

    Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
    |February 1, 1973
    PubMed
    Summary

    Amoxicillin, a new penicillin, shows effectiveness in treating bacteriuria, similar to ampicillin. While well-tolerated and absorbed, it offers no significant advantage over existing treatments for uncomplicated cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Amoxicillin is a novel semisynthetic penicillin.
    • It exhibits structural similarity to ampicillin.
    • Amoxicillin demonstrates improved absorption and higher serum/urine concentrations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the in vitro activity of amoxicillin against Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    • To assess the clinical efficacy of amoxicillin in treating bacteriuria.
    • To compare amoxicillin's performance with ampicillin and other available treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro susceptibility testing using agar dilution and disc diffusion assays.
    • Clinical trial involving 38 patients with bacteriuria treated with amoxicillin.
    • Dosage regimens included 750 mg or 1 g daily for 10 days.

    Main Results:

    • In vitro, amoxicillin demonstrated comparable activity to ampicillin against most tested bacteria.
    • Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis were susceptible to low concentrations of amoxicillin.
    • Amoxicillin effectively eradicated bacteriuria in patients and was well-tolerated.

    Conclusions:

    • Amoxicillin is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for bacteriuria caused by susceptible microorganisms.
    • Despite favorable absorption and tolerance, amoxicillin does not offer superior clinical benefits over existing therapies for acute, uncomplicated bacteriuria.
