Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Corynebacterium Infections:

1.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 04/01/1996 - "However, there are no specific recommendations on the method or the criteria to use in order to determine the in vitro activities of the antibiotics commonly used to treat Corynebacterium infections. " 07/01/2005 - "We report a new case, where a patient developed hepatic IPL that revealed endometritis related to Corynebacterium infection; the patient had a favorable outcome of hepatic IPL after appropriate antibiotic therapy initiation. " 01/01/2016 - "Aminoglycosides are second-line or complementary antibiotics used for the treatment of Corynebacterium infections. " 09/29/2016 - "In patients whose skin has been weakened by psoriasis vulgaris or other infections, Corynebacterium should be considered as causative microorganisms, and antibiotic therapy including vancomycin should be administered."
2.	Daptomycin FDA Link 03/20/2012 - "Although linezolid and daptomycin are antimicrobial alternatives for treating Corynebacterium infections, the authors believe that VCM is the best choice for immediate treatment success and to prevent pulmonary infiltrates from developing in the presence of bloodstream infection with Corynebacteria in patients with haematological malignancies."
3.	Vancomycin FDA LinkGeneric 09/29/2016 - "In patients whose skin has been weakened by psoriasis vulgaris or other infections, Corynebacterium should be considered as causative microorganisms, and antibiotic therapy including vancomycin should be administered."
