AMOXY-COL WSP

DESCRIPTION

The combination of amoxycillin and colistin acts synergically. Amoxycillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin with a broad antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The spectrum of amoxycillin includes: Campylobacter, penicillinase-negative Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, spp., Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Brucella spp., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp., Moraxella spp., E. coli, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Fusiformis, Bordetella spp., Diplococci, Micrococci and Sphaerophorus necrophorus. The bactericidal action is due to inhibition of cell wall synthesis. The excretion takes mainly place via the urine and the bile and this makes amoxycillin useful for the treatment of renal infections and Salmonella infections in the intra-hepatic biliary tree. Colistin is an antibiotic from the group of polymyxins with a bactericidal action against Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli, Haemophilus and Salmonella. Colistin acts by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane

with leakage of intracellular materials and it inhibits bacterial oxidative metabolism. Susceptible bacteria are t strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Haemophilus spp., Shigella spp., Pasteurella

spp., Brucella spp., Aerobacter aerogenes and Bordetella bronchiseptica. Colistin sulphate is hardly absorbed after oral administration (less than 1 % of the administered dose) and therefore remains active only in the gastrointestinal tract.
