Abstract
The combination of ampicillin and ciprofloxacin displayed bactericidal in-vitro activity against two strains of Enterococcus faecixan which were highly resistant to ampicillin, vancomycin, and aminoglycosides. This antibiotic combination wasused to treat rabbits with experimental endocarditis caused by these strains. Although a significant decrease in vegetation bacterial counts occurred with one strain, the degree of killing did not approach that of penicillin with an aminoglycoside against susceptible enterococci.
