Distribution of drug resistance among enterococci and Salmonella from poultry and cattle in EthiopiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Enterococci and Salmonella were isolated from feces of chicken in intensive poultry farms and cattle which are maintained following traditional practices. Their resistance to different antibiotics was also determined. A total of 298 enterococcal isolates consisting of Enterococcus faecium (49.6%), Enterococcus durans (26.9%), Enterococcus hirea (11.9%), and Enterococcus faecalis (11.5%) were obtained. Among the enterococci, resistance to erythromycin (Ery), clindamicin (Cli), amoxicillin (Amo), ampicillin (Amp), and cephalothin (Cep) was high. Resistance to vancomycin (Van) was detected in all enteroc...

The stability of amoxicillin trihydrate and potassium clavulanate combination in aqueous solutions.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The effect of various environmental factors on the stability of aqueous solutions of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination in a veterinary water-soluble powder product was investigated. In the swine industry, the combination is administered via the drinking water, where both substances are quickly decomposed depending on several environmental factors. The degradation rate of the substances was determined in solutions of different water hardness levels (German hardness of 2, 6 and 10) and pH values (3.0, 7.0 and 10.0), and in troughs made of different materials (metal or plastic). Increasing the water hardness decreas...

Classical Homeopathy Approach in the Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria that is resistant to most common antibiotics. Aside from methicillin, the bacteria is also resistant to other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin, and amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA, occur most frequently in patients who have recently been hospitalized for long periods, who have had invasive medical procedures, or who have weakened immune systems. Individuals treated in long-term healthcare facilities such as nursing homes or dialysis centers have been considered most at risk. In a healthcare setting, MRSA can cause serious an...

Gellan gum has been reported to have wide pharmaceutical applications such as tablet binder, disintegrant, gelling agent and as a controlled release polymer. Multiparticulate delivery systems spread out more uniformly in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the local irritation. The purpose of this study is to explore possible applicability of gellan macro beads as an oral controlled release system of a sparingly soluble drug, amoxicillin. Gellan gum beads were prepared by ionotropic gelation with calcium ions. The effect of drug loading, stirring time, polymer concentration, electrolyte (CaCl2) concentration, curing ...

Eradication of a cause of secondary membranous glomerulopathy might suppress nephrotic syndrome. Here we report a patient with membranous nephropathy (MN), whose proteinuria entered complete remission after treating actinomycosis. A 45-year-old woman presented with nephrotic syndrome and was diagnosed as having MN. Her urine protein excretion was 5.3 g/day and the serum creatinine level was 70.7 µmol/L. When we searched for causes of secondary MN, pelvic actinomycosis was detected. After removing the pelvic abscess surgically, we administered amoxicillin for 6 months. Then, her proteinuria had decreased to <0.1 g/...

Varied Prevalence of Clostridium difficile in an Integrated Swine Operation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objectives of this study were to compare the prevalence of Clostridium difficile (Cd) among different age and production groups of swine in a vertically integrated swine operation in Texas in 2006 and to compare our isolates to other animal and human isolates. Results are based on 131 Cd isolates from 1008 swine fecal samples and pork trim samples (overall prevalence of 13%). The prevalence (number positive/number tested in production type) of Cd was different between the groups (P</=0.001), and was highest among suckling piglets at 50.0% (61/122), followed by 23.8% (34/143) for lactating sows and effluent from the ...

Impact of Neonatal Antibiotic Treatment on the Biodiversity of the Murine Intestinal Lactobacillus Community.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we investigated the impact of neonatal amoxicillin treatment on the development of the murine intestinal Lactobacillus community. Suckling BALB/c mice received a daily intragastric gavage of amoxicillin or saline from postnatal day 7 (PND 7) to PND 20. Just after the treatment (PND 21) and 5 weeks later (PND 56), the colon digesta samples were analyzed by Lactobacillus-specific quantitative real-time PCR analysis and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique. Real-time PCR results showed that the levels of lactobacilli in the treatment group were similar to those in the control at PND 56. ...

Efficacy and Safety of Sequential Intravenous/Oral Moxifloxacin vs Intravenous/Oral Amoxicillin/Clavulanate for Complicated Skin and Skin Structure InfectionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Treatment with sequential iv/po moxifloxacin monotherapy once daily is clinically comparable to that with iv/po amoxicillin/clavulanate three times daily in the management of cSSSIs. Moxifloxacin’s simple dose regimen offers an advantage over amoxicillin/clavulanate and represents a valuable addition to current antibiotic regimens used in the treatment of cSSSIs.

Globally, pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children and also results in significant morbidity. The most common treatment options include anti-pyretics and antibiotics. Other treatments include vitamins and over-the-counter cough syrup.This overview presents a summary of the results of previous Cochrane reviews on the treatment of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children.The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was searched for all systematic reviews examining the treatment of pediatric pneumonia or lower respiratory tract infections. All reviews that were under the heading "pneumonia" on the Cochrane ...
