Among them, streptomycin and gentamicin are primarily vestibulotoxic, whereas amikacin, neomycin, dihydrosterptomycin, and kanamicin are primarily cochleotoxic. Another significant concern with aminoglycoside antibiotics is nephrotoxicity11 (kidney damage). Renal damage is related to the accumulation of ...
Antibiotics are used to fight pathogens but also target commensal bacteria, disturbing the composition of gut microbiota and causing dysbiosis and disease1. Despite this well-known collateral damage, the activity spectrum of different antibiotic classes on gut bacteria remains poorly characterized. Here ...
Aspiration pneumonia (AP) is a common complication in the intensive care unit (ICU), which is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality and has a significant impact on patient prognosis. Antibiotics are commonly used in the clinical
where do penicillins bind to? penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) causing the disruption of cell wall synthesis what bacteria can penicillins be used for? penicillins are primarily used for gramp positive bacteria: Streptococcus spp, Enterococcus spp...some penicillins can be used for gram - bact...
We primarily used wells that we previously age dated with tritium-helium (Visser et al., 2007a, 2007b; Zhang et al., 2009; Broers et al., 2009) and that have time series of groundwater composition. From this it is known that the sampled water is young and derived from rainwater infil...
The effectiveness of adsorption relies primarily on adsorption capacity, kinetics, selectivity, and regeneration of the adsorbent [19]. Regarding the characteristic of adsorbent porosity, electrostatic interactions, pore size, ion exchange, and specific surface area enhance the antibiotics selectivity [20]...
Specific and effective eradication of bacteria and programmes to prevent recurrences are important, particularly in immune suppressed persons. Topical antibiotics used primarily for superficial infections of limited extent and for the prevention of recurrences in carriers of S. aureus should be combined ...
(HealthDay)—Antibiotic prescriptions in the first year of life are associated with an increased risk for type 1 diabetes in childhood, according to a study published online March 4 in Diabetes Care.
Antibiotics, a specific category of antimicrobial drugs, are primarily utilized in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. Their mechanism of action involves either killing the bacteria directly or inhibiting their growth, which facilitates the immune system to further combat the infection mo...
Oral antibiotics are commonly used to treat acne vulgaris, primarily in patients presenting with moderate to severe facial or truncal disease severity. These agents are most appropriately used in combination with a topical regimen containing benzoyl peroxide and a topical retinoid. The most common ...
