Ampicillin in Treatment of Certain Gram-negative Bacterial Infections [PDF]

BMJ, 1963
Ampicillin, the first semisynthetic penicillin active against Gram-negative pathogens, is bactericidal in vitro to Escherichia coli, certain Proteus spp., some Klebsiella strains, salmonellae, and shigellae. The susceptible range of Gram-positive organisms is the same for ampicillin as for benzylpenicillin, although ampicillin is much less potent ...

Difference of Procalcitonin Levels in Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacterial Sepsis Patients of Indonesia Army Central Hospital Gatot Soebroto in 2016

Juxta: Jurnal Ilmiah Mahasiswa Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga, 2022
Introduction: Procalcitonin is known as a marker of infection and indicator for severity of infections. In sepsis, elevated procalcitonin levels in blood have a significant value that can be used as a sepsis biomarker.

Pleural effusion adenosine deaminase: a candidate biomarker to discriminate between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections of the pleural space

Clinics, 2016
OBJECTIVES: Delay in the treatment of pleural infection may contribute to its high mortality. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pleural adenosine deaminase in discrimination between Gram-negative and Gram ...

TFPI-2 Protects Against Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) has previously been characterized as an endogenous anticoagulant. TFPI-2 is expressed in the vast majority of cells, mainly secreted into the extracellular matrix. Recently we reported that EDC34, a C-terminal peptide derived from TFPI-2, exerts a broad antimicrobial activity. In the present study, we describe

Role of lactobacilli and lactoferrin in the mucosal cervicovaginal defense [PDF]

, 2018
Human lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein present at high concentrations in breast milk and colostrum. It is produced by many exocrine glands and widely distributed in a variety of body fluids.

Construction of a Bacterial Lipidomics Analytical Platform: Pilot Validation with Bovine Paratuberculosis Serum

Metabolites, 2023
Lipidomics analyses of bacteria offer the potential to detect and monitor infections in a host since many bacterial lipids are not present in mammals. To evaluate this omics approach, we first built a database of bacterial lipids for representative Gram ...
