aztreonam and Paratyphoid Fever

aztreonam has been researched along with Paratyphoid Fever in 2 studies

Aztreonam: A monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is resistant to beta-lactamases and is used in gram-negative infections, especially of the meninges, bladder, and kidneys. It may cause a superinfection with gram-positive organisms.
aztreonam : A synthetic monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic (monobactam), used primarily to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, thereby blocking peptidoglycan crosslinking.

Paratyphoid Fever: A prolonged febrile illness commonly caused by several Paratyphi serotypes of SALMONELLA ENTERICA. It is similar to TYPHOID FEVER but less severe.

"Patients with clinical typhoid fever plus a blood, bone marrow, or bile positive for Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi were included in an open clinical trial to compare the efficacy of aztreonam (6 g/day [2 g intravenously every 8 h]) given for 10 days with that of chloramphenicol (50 mg/kg of body weight per day [intravenously or orally]) administered for 14 days."9.07Randomized comparison of aztreonam and chloramphenicol in treatment of typhoid fever.
