Abstract: The effects of Cefoperazone Sodium(CFZ) and Cefoperazone Sodium & Sulbactam Sodium for injection(CFZ-SBT) on the metabolism of Escherichia coli(E.coli) DH5α were studied by microcalorimetry. The microbial activity was recorded as power-time curves through an ampoule method with a TAM air isothermal microcalorimeter at 37 ℃. The parameters such as the growth rate constant(k), inhibitory ratio(I), the maximum power output(Pm) and the time(tm) corresponding to the maximum power output were obtained. The lethal doses of CFZ and CFZ-SBT were calculated as 0.1 and 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. Moreover, according to the relationship between k, Pm, tm and c, the conclusion could be made that the CFZ-SBT cannot improve the inhibitory effect on E.coli DH5α in comparison with the CFZ.

Key words: Microcalorimetry, Inhibition fuction, Cephalosporin, E.coli DH5α
