Abstract

SM-101 is a mixture of metampicillin and sulbactam(2∶1). The antibacterial activities of SM-101 were compared with those of metampicillin, piperacillin and Augmentin. It showed powerful antibacterial activities against major strains. Except P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens, the in vitro antibacterial activity of SM-101 was higher than those of metampicillin, piperacillin and Augmentin against Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Morganella morganii, E. coli, and Proteus spp. The ED50 values of SM-101 were two-fold or greater than those of metampicillin, piperacillin and Augmentin against β-lactamase producing strains, P. mirabilis GN 79 and M. morganii MB4-11. The in vivo efficacy of SM-101 was more active than metampicillin and piperacillin and similar to Augmentin against S. aureus Smith, E. coli MB4-01 and K. pneumoniae MB4-02.
