摘要
Twenty-three generic intravenous piperacillin/tazobactam products were compared for in vitro activity to the branded formulation (Zosyn(R), Wyeth, Philadelphia, PA) by disk diffusion and incremental broth microdilution assay methods. All but I lot demonstrated significantly decreased activity (-5 to -35%), necessitating further investigations regarding the chemical purity, potency, and therapeutic equivalence of these products worldwide. The average -16% activity across all generic lots was equivalent to underdosing piperacillin/tazobactam by 2.6 g daily for serious clinical infections (4.5 g Q6 h). (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
