Synergy Test for Antibacterial Activity: Towards the Research for a Consensus between the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (Checkboard Method) and the Increase in Fold Area (Disc Diffusion Method) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Antibiotic resistance is a topical problem for both humans and animals and has been the subject of special monitoring for two decades. Several recent studies, including ours, have shown that this phenomenon is accentuated by the transfer of certain genetic elements and cross resistance acquisition, the latter or both resulting from the misuse of these ...

Impairment of driving by ciprofloxacin [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1994
EDITOR, - Ciprofloxacin is a 4-quinolone anti-bacterial agent. It is recognised to be potentially neurotoxic in both animals and man. The most commonly reported central nervous system side effects include dizziness, headache, and nervousness,1, 2 which may impair the ability to perform skilled tasks such as driving. Appropriate counselling is therefore

Ultra‐Effective Light‐Activated Antibacterial Activity via Carboxyl Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots and Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Carboxyl‐functionalized graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) exhibit high singlet oxygen quantum yield due to strong spin–orbit coupling. cGQDs achieve minimum bactericidal concentration of only 0.4 µg mL−1 against S. aureus under low‐intensity illumination.

Self‐supportive Three‐Way Photoelectrochemical System Achieving Uranium Recycling, Organic Oxidation, and Electricity Generation in Complex Waters

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐sustaining solar photoelectrochemical cell (SS‐PEC) is developed to recover uranium from aqueous UO22+ with concurrent organic oxidation and electricity production. The monolithical photoanode directly captures electrons from organic compounds, leading to the oxidation of organic compounds and the decomposition of uranium‐organic complexes ...

Adjunctive S100A8/A9 Immunomodulation Hinders Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Murine Biofilm Wound Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
ObjectivePseudomonas aeruginosa is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic wounds by biofilm-establishment with increased tolerance to host response and antibiotics. The neutrophil-factor S100A8/A9 has a promising adjuvant effect when combined

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are living microorganisms that produce magnetosomes for navigation using the Earth's geomagnetic field. Their built‐in magnetic components, along with their intrinsic and/or modified biological functions, make them one of the most promising platforms for making future living and programmable microrobots.

THE EFFECT OF COMBINATION OF ANTACID AND CIPROFLOXACIN ON BIOAVAILAIBILITY OF CIPROFLOXACIN

open access: yesAsian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Development, 1970
Most people use drugs at the same time. This concomitant use is susceptible to interaction which results in reduced bioavailability of one of the drugs. Ciprofloxacin is often used to prevent gram-positive and negative bacterial infections. One of them is for gastrointestinal infections.
