penicillin g and Gas Gangrene

penicillin g has been researched along with Gas Gangrene in 35 studies

Penicillin G: A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.
benzylpenicillin : A penicillin in which the substituent at position 6 of the penam ring is a phenylacetamido group.

Gas Gangrene: A severe condition resulting from bacteria invading healthy muscle from adjacent traumatized muscle or soft tissue. The infection originates in a wound contaminated with bacteria of the genus CLOSTRIDIUM. C. perfringens accounts for the majority of cases (over eighty percent), while C. noyvi, C. septicum, and C. histolyticum cause most of the other cases.

Research Excerpts

" In contrast, clindamycin was highly effective over a broad dosing range (8."5.27Comparison of clindamycin, rifampin, tetracycline, metronidazole, and penicillin for efficacy in prevention of experimental gas gangrene due to Clostridium perfringens. ( Laine, BM; Maier, KA; Mitten, JE; Stevens, DL, 1987)
" However, vancomycin and fosfomycin, which revealed suboptimal in vitro bactericidal activity, proved as efficacious as penicillin G and imipenem in an experimental mode of murine gas gangrene."3.67Clostridium perfringens type A. Comparison of in vitro and in vivo activity of twelve antimicrobial drugs. ( Traub, WH, 1986)
"Five antimicrobial drugs (ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, imipenem, penicillin G, and rifampin) were examined for therapeutic efficacy in a murine model gas gangrene due to Clostridium perfringens type A, following infection with large bacterial inocula."3.67Chemotherapy of experimental (murine) Clostridium perfringens type A gas gangrene. ( Traub, WH, 1988)
" In contrast, clindamycin was highly effective over a broad dosing range (8."1.27Comparison of clindamycin, rifampin, tetracycline, metronidazole, and penicillin for efficacy in prevention of experimental gas gangrene due to Clostridium perfringens. ( Laine, BM; Maier, KA; Mitten, JE; Stevens, DL, 1987)
"Post-traumatic and surgical aetiologies predominate, giving rise to two types of gangrene: clostridial gas gangrene secondary to contamined wounds, with a quasi-constant vascular element, affecting predominantly the limbs, and nonclostridrial gangrene, the increasing prevalence of which involves essentially spetic abdomino-pelvic surgery."1.26[Current aspects of gas gangrene, apropos of 47 cases collected over a 3-year period (1974-1976)].
