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...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Haemophilus influenzae Respiratory Tract Isolates in Korea: Results of the Nationwide Acute Respiratory Infections Surveillance.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and beta-lactam resistance mechanisms of 544 H. influenzae isolates through the nationwide Acute Respiratory Infections Surveillance (ARIS) network in Korea during 2005 and 2006 were determined. Resistance to ampicillin was 58.5%, followed by cefuroxime (23.3%), clarithromycin (18.7%), cefaclor (17.0%), amoxicillin/clavulanate (10.4%), and chloramphenicol (8.1%). Levofloxacin and cefotaxime were the most active agents tested in this study. beta-lactamase production (52.4%) was the main mechanism of ampicillin resistance, with the rate (96.1%) of TEM-1 type beta-lactamase. According...

A 20-year-old man was admitted to this hospital because of sore throat, fever, and a diffuse rash for 1 week. Testing for streptococcal pharyngitis and mononucleosis was negative. Amoxicillin and clavulanate were prescribed, and the next day, a red, itchy rash developed on the medial surface of his right arm; the lesions became raised, enlarged, and painful and spread from his arms to his legs, back, hands, feet, and perioral area, without mucosal involvement. Examination disclosed a diffuse eruption of tender violaceous-pink papulovesicles, which progressed to hemorrhagic crusting. A diagnostic procedure was performed. (S...

Semin Liver Dis 2009; 29: 400-411DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1240009ABSTRACTGenetic studies on drug-induced liver injury (DILI) have proved challenging, both because of their rarity and their difficulty in replicating observed effects. However, significant progress has now been achieved by both candidate-gene and genome-wide association studies. These two approaches are considered in detail, together with examples of DILI due to specific drugs where consistent associations have been reported. Particular consideration is given to associations between antituberculosis drug-related liver injury and the “slow acetylator” g...

beta-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant (BLNAR) isolates of Haemophilus influenza have been emerging in some countries, including Japan. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has only a susceptible MIC breakpoint (</=1 microg/ml) for piperacillin-tazobactam and a disclaimer comment that BLNAR H. influenzae should be considered resistant, which was adapted without presentation of data. In addition, fluoroquinolone-resistant H. influenzae isolates have recently been occasionally reported worldwide.

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents is of great concern to clinicians. Patient outcome after infection is mainly dependent on the sensitivity of the bacterium to the agent used. We retrospectively studied 89 postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) patients with proven Escherichia coli peritonitis and investigated the clinical consequences of the E. coli resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanate. Significantly increased mortality, days of ventilation and ICU stay were noted in the co-amoxicillin/clavulanate resistant group. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the sensitivity of E. coli to amoxicillin/clavulan...

We examined 46 urinary isolates producing CTX-M against several oral or long-acting parenteral antimicrobial agents. Approximately 90% were susceptible to fosfomycin and to a combination of cefdinir plus amoxicillin-clavulanate. All were susceptible to ertapenem.

Community-acquired urinary tract infections in Southern Turkey: etiology and antimicrobial resistance.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we compared the distribution and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of bacterial strains isolated from patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections in Southern Turkey, Hatay, during 2004 and 2005. The majority (82.3%) of the isolates were from women while the remaining (17.7%) were from men. Of all samples tested, 49% were culture-positive with a bacterial pathogen. The most frequently isolated bacterial species were Escherichia coli (45.1%), coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) (15.5%) and Klebsiella spp. (10.9%). E. coli was more prevalent in women (p < 0.05) while Klebsiella spp., Prote...

Characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Salmonella isolates in a children's hospital in Ankara--first report of SHV-2a and SHV-9 in Salmonella spp. from Turkey.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The rate of in vitro resistance to various antimicrobials in 179 consecutive isolates of Salmonella spp., which included serogroups D (109), B (52), C1 (10) and C2 (8) isolated from children, was investigated. Production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) was studied in ampicillin-resistant isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined by disk diffusion tests and by BIOMIC video reader system. Overall resistance rates to ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate were 26.3% and 10.6%, respectively. Resistance to ceftriaxone and ceftazidime was 3.3%. Resistance rates for chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulf...

Association between Antimicrobial Consumption and Resistance in Escherichia coli.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
During a 9-year study period of 1997 - 2005, the association between antimicrobial resistance rates in Escherichia coli and outpatient antimicrobial consumption was investigated in 20 hospital districts in Finland. A total of 754,293 E. coli isolates, mainly from urine samples, were tested for antimicrobial resistance in 26 clinical microbiology laboratories. The following antimicrobials were studied: amoxicillin/ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, first-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, pivmecillinam, and nitrofurantoin. We applied a protocol used in earlier st...

[Original articles] Antibiotic treatment in patients with low-back pain associated with Modic changes Type 1 (bone oedema): a pilot studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: In this uncontrolled trial, the clinical effect of antibiotic treatment was large in a group of patients with Modic changes suffering from persistent LBP following a disc herniation. These results provide tentative support for a hypothesis that bacterial infection may play a role in LBP with Modic changes and indicate the need for randomised controlled trials to test this hypothesis.

Etiology of neonatal blood stream infections in Tbilisi, Republic of GeorgiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Neonatal BSI was mainly caused by Gram-negative organisms, which are developing resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Understanding the local epidemiology of neonatal BSI can lead to the development of better medical practices, especially more appropriate choices for empiric antibiotic therapy, and may contribute to improvement of infection control practices.
