One of the key tasks in the ongoing health care reforms in China is to eliminate the financial incentives to facilities and their staff that are associated with drug sales.13,21,22 Second, lack of expertise of medical staff may contribute to the improper use of antibiotics. In both the CC...
their mechanisms of action, and the role of modern drug delivery in improving their efficacy. Written by leading experts from around the globe, the chapters in the book covers important aspects of microbial infections including hospital acquired infections and community acquired infections and adult sep...
A brief history of antibiotics and select advances in their synthesis Kyriacos C Nicolaou and Stephan Rigol The advent of modern antibiotics contributed enormously to the dramatic extension of human lifespan since their discovery by virtue of their lethal and selective action against pathogenic microbes...

The advent of modern antibiotics contributed enormously to the dramatic extension of human lifespan since their discovery by virtue of their lethal and selective action against pathogenic microbes. And yet despite our powerful arsenal of weapons against these pathogens, the war against them has not be...
Some of this is likely to be rational – for example the most common combination was ceftriax- one and metronidazole which, with their differing spectrum of action are a rational choice for diseases such as abdom- inal sepsis. Irrational concurrent use may also have been prevalent but is ...
These descriptions include their development status, mode of action, spectra of activity, historical discovery and origin of the drug pharmacophore: natural product (NP), NP-derived, synthetic (S) or protein/ mammalian peptide (P). New clinical trials of approved drugs including new formulations ...
We combine demand estimation with Nash-Bertrand pricing behavior and jointly estimate the supply-side equations where multi-product firms maximize their profits in an oligopolistic setting. We then simulate and compute the effect of various tax-based interventions where the tax is imposed on physician...
The development of new and effective antibacterial drugs to treat multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, especially Gram-negative (G−ve) pathogens, is acknowledged as one of the world’s most pressing health issues; however, the discovery and developmen
were also assessed. Moreover, how their practice influenced irrational use of antibiotics, efforts taken as an individual and as a department to fight against AR. Furthermore, sources of where the participants got information related to antibiotics uses and AR were questioned. The questionnaires ...
