Ampicillin in Treatment of Certain Gram-negative Bacterial Infections [PDF]

BMJ, 1963
Ampicillin, the first semisynthetic penicillin active against Gram-negative pathogens, is bactericidal in vitro to Escherichia coli, certain Proteus spp., some Klebsiella strains, salmonellae, and shigellae. The susceptible range of Gram-positive organisms is the same for ampicillin as for benzylpenicillin, although ampicillin is much less potent ...

TFPI-2 Protects Against Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) has previously been characterized as an endogenous anticoagulant. TFPI-2 is expressed in the vast majority of cells, mainly secreted into the extracellular matrix. Recently we reported that EDC34, a C-terminal peptide derived from TFPI-2, exerts a broad antimicrobial activity. In the present study, we describe
