Cefpiramide (SR 95445) (CPM) is a new cephalosporin with activity against Pseudomonas and a good bioavailability following parenteral administration. This drug is a first rather than second choice treatment in Pseudomonas infections. For this reason, investigation into cefpiramide's capacity to induce beta-lactamase production is especially interesting. A heavy inoculum of P. aeruginosa NCTC 8203, a strain that produces and inducible cephalosporinase (pI = 8.7) was incubated for 4 hours with CPM, cefsulodin (CFS), cefoperazone (CPZ) and ceftazidime (CTZ) in various concentrations. After collection and sonic treatment of the bacteria, the beta-lactamase activity was assayed using an acidimetric method and expressed as units of enzyme activity per mg proteins in the cell-free extract. The smallest increase in beta-lactamase production was recorded with CPM. The strongest inductor was CTZ. CFS and CPZ had an intermediate effect.
