We have studied the postantibiotic effect (PAE) and postantibiotic sub-MICs effect (PA SME) of ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, netilmicin and tobramycin on the production of phospholipase C (PLC) in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from clinical material. All antibiotics tested (postantibiotic phase evoked by 2.MIC) reduced the production of PLC, particularly pefloxacin to 13.2%. The PA phase evoked by 4.MIC of quinolones did not cause regrowth of P. aeruginosa and aminoglycosides inhibited PLC, in particular with tobramycin to 16.9%. The effect of PA SME (2.MIC) of netilmicin and tobramycin inhibited PLC more expressively (< 20%) than ciprofloxacin; pefloxacin did not allow regrowth. PA SMEs of the antibiotics tested reduced the production of PLC more effectively than PAE.

The in vitro postantibiotic effect (PAE) and the postantibiotic effect of subinhibitory concentrations (PA SME) of gentamicin were investigated on clinical isolates of Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The PAE was induced by 2 x MIC and 4 x MIC of gentamicin for 0.5 h. The PA SME were studied by the addition of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 x MIC during the postantibiotic phase of the bacteria. The S. enteritidis strain did no regrow after affecting of supra-subinhibitory concentrations for 24 h with exception of the concentration 2 x MIC + 0.1 x MIC. The PAEs against P. aeruginosa were nearly identical for all the suprainhibitory concentrations tested (4.4-4.6 h) and no regrowth after PA SME was observed. The studied pharmacodynamic parameters decreased the surface hydrophobicity of Salmonella sp., mainly of S. enteritidis, evaluated by the ability to bind Congo red and by the aggregation in solutions of ammonium sulphate (SAT). Gentamicin in suprainhibitory concentrations expressively decreased the phospholipase C production--an important virulence factor of P. aeruginosa.
