Success of ampicillin plus ceftriaxone rescue therapy for a relapse of Enterococcus faecalis native-valve endocarditis and in vitro data on double beta-lactam activity. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
Scand J Infect Dis 2008 Sep 3.:1-5.
We report a patient with Enterococcus faecalis native-valve endocarditis who relapsed after 4 weeks of treatment with ampicillin plus gentamicin. The relapse was cured with ampicillin plus ceftriaxone, which was introduced after gentamicin-induced acute renal failure. This double beta-lactam combination showed a bactericidal effect in time-killing curve studies.
