a2. Systemic antibiotics. Compared to topical antimicrobials, oral antibiotics are more effective and have a faster onset of action. Unfortunately, the risk of antibiotic resistance is significant [50]. Furthermore, many patients are already colonized with resistant P. Acnes before starting any acne...
Both the antibiotic OTC and the fungicide AZ are broad-spectrum antimicrobials, and are the most representative of soil antimicrobials. Therefore, we used AZ and OTC as typical treatments to investigate the changes of the gut microbiota in the model soil invertebrate Folsomia candida (Collembola) ...
This challenge is ongoing, and I hope that we will someday be able to control microbes. The biggest advantage microbes have against antibiotics is their incredible adaptability to changes in their environment due to their flexible metabolic power. Antibiotic activity is only one, and perhaps not ...
Antibiotics: Pregnancy while taking oral contraceptives has been reported when the oral contraceptives were administered with antimicrobials such as ampicillin, tetracycline, and griseofulvin. However, clinical pharmacokinetic studies have not demonstrated any consistent effect of antibiotics (other than rifampin...
Patients in hospitals often have a suppressed immune system, putting them at increased risk of infection by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, some of which may come from sources in the hospital environment. We sampled multiple different surfaces in an established and a newly built intensiv...
An effective weapon against bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is cyclodextrin. Several different kinds of cyclodextrin nanocarriers (β-CD, HP-β-CD, Meth-β-CD, cationic CD, sugar-grafted CD) are utilized to enhance the solubility, stability, dissolution, absorption, bioavailability, and ...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published guidelines for the appropriate use of antibiotics for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in the hope of decreasing inappropriate use. Despite this, antimicrobials continue to be frequently prescribed for these conditions. Emergency Department ...
INTRODUCTION: Convulsions associated with fever and acute onset of unknown aetiology with case fatalities have become a long observed medical condition at the Child Health Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Children admitted to the department
To overcome this challenge, we have utilized a gnotobiotic approach to interrogate the capacity of fungi to (i) stably colonize the mouse gut, (ii) alter microbiome ecology and its response to antimicrobials, (iii) impact gut physiology and systemic immunity, and (iv) influence host ...
In addition, it is a genus in which several sub-strains have acquired resistance to commonly used antibiotics [56, 61, 62]. Fusobacterium is a genus that encompasses several species known to be pathogenic in humans; they are obligate anaerobes, with known sites of infection in the oral ...
