Introduction In November 2018, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) restricted the use of fluoroquinolones (used by mouth, injections or inhalation) in the context of a referral due to long-lasting and potentially irreversible adverse drug reactions (ADRs)

Antimicrobial agents are crucial for the treatment of many bacterial diseases in pigs, however, the massive use of critically important antibiotics such as colistin, fluoroquinolones and 3rd–4th-generation cephalosporins often selects for co-resistance ...

Trend of multidrug and fluoroquinolone resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 2010 to 2014 in Korea: a multicenter study [PDF]
Background/Aims This study was conducted to evaluate the recent prevalence and trend of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug resistance with a focus on multidrug-resistance (MDR) and fluoroquinolone resistance in South Korea.

Designing a single-molecule biophysics tool for characterizing DNA damage for techniques that kill infectious pathogens through DNA damage effects [PDF]
Antibiotics such as the quinolones and fluoroquinolones kill bacterial pathogens ultimately through DNA damage. They target the essential type IIA topoisomerases in bacteria by stabilising the normally transient double strand break state which is created to modify the supercoiling state of the DNA.

Iron‐based catalysts activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate high‐valent iron‐oxo species for water decontamination and clean water production. The activation efficiency of PMS varies significantly depending on iron catalyst properties, while the generation of reactive high‐valent iron intermediates is governed by catalyst characteristics ...

Antimicrobial resistance and use, and rates of hospitalization associated with bacterial infections, including sepsis [PDF]
While the mechanisms and quantitative details are complex, few analysts would doubt that antibiotic use increases the prevalence of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens among all bacteria causing disease in a population. The causal connection between antibiotic use and the total incidence of severe bacterial infections, possibly mediated by antibiotic ...

To search for new antitubercular agents, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of 1,4‐benzoxazinone‐based compounds. These molecules showed potent antimycobacterial activity, with MIC between 2 and 8 μg/mL. This interesting profile included activity against several drug‐resistant strains and minimal cytotoxicity against mammalian Vero ...

Prevalence of Ciprofloxacin Resistance Among Gram-Negative Bacilli in a Tertiary Care Hospital [PDF]
Background: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing therapeutic problem, both in the community and the hospitals, which involves all the antibiotics including fluoroquinolones.
