Abstract:The influence of the postantibiotic effect (PAE) and the postantibiotic sub-MICs effect (PA SME) of imipenem and enoxacin on the surface hydrophobicity ofS. typhimurium andS. enteritidis strains were studied by evaluating Congo red binding and the aggregation in molar solutions of ammonium sulfate (SAT). A PAE was induced by 2× and 4× MIC of antibiotics tested for 0.5 h. Suprainhibitory concentrations of imipenem againstS. typhimurium induced a short PAE (0.3–0.6 h) compared toS. enteritidis (6.0–9.7 h). Suprasubinhibitory concentrations of imipenem did not allow a regrowth ofS. enteritidis. Similar results were also found for enoxacin. Evaluation of surface hydrophobic properties of the salmonellas after affecting both PAEs and PA SMEs has shown that imipenem at concentrations 4×MIC and 4×MIC+0.3×MIC partially influenced the hydrophobicity ofS. typhimurium. S. enteritidis was more susceptible toward both antibiotics tested.
