We performed time-kill studies of antimicrobial combinations that included minocycline, cefotaxime, and ciprofloxacin with Vibrio vulnificus ATCC 27562. Cefotaxime-plus-ciprofloxacin combinations acted synergistically against V. vulnificus in vitro, and this combination regimen can be a good choice as the empirical treatment for suspected necrotizing fasciitis due to V. vulnificus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
