Effects of carbenicillin and phosphomycin on ADP induced platelet aggregation

Abstract

The effects of carbenicillin and phosphomycin separately or simultaneously, on ADP induced platelet aggregation have been studied in vivo. Platelet aggregation, ADP induced, was inhibited by carbenicillin and phosphomycin. The inhibition was proportional to the concentration of antibiotic. A slight inhibition was observed when platelet rich plasma was incubated simultaneously with both antibiotics, but synergy on the ADP-induced platelet aggregation was absent.
