Fluoroquinolone resistance during 2000–2005 : An observational study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008
Background Moxifloxacin is a respiratory fluoroquinolone with a community acquired pneumonia indication. Unlike other fluoroquinolones used in our healthcare system, moxifloxacin's urinary excretion is low and thus we hypothesized that increased use of ...

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

Modifying Antibiotic Activity of Synthetic Thiadiazine Analogs Against MDR Bacteria and ADMET Analysis

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The study demonstrated that thidiazine compounds potentiated the action of antibiotics. The compounds associated with norfloxacin against S. aureus showed greater significance in relation to the other medications. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, significantly reducing the effectiveness of ...

In vitro selection of resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. at in vivo fluoroquinolone concentrations

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Fluoroquinolones are potent antimicrobial agents used for the treatment of a wide variety of community- and nosocomial- infections. However, resistance to fluoroquinolones in Enterobacteriaceae is increasingly reported.

A structured, behavioural science approach to the preparation of antimicrobial stewardship interventions for companion animal veterinarians

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A structured, behavioural science approach was adopted to develop antimicrobial stewardship interventions in UK first‐opinion companion animal veterinary practice. The objectives were to identify behavioural targets for intervention and to understand how practice contexts influence these behaviours.
