In order to ensure a proper functioning of cell replication and proteins and nucleic acids synthesis processes, folate metabolism rate is also increased in these cases. For this reason, folic acid antagonists have been used since their discovery to treat different kinds of microbial infections, taking advantage of this metabolic difference when compared with human cells. However, resistances to these compounds have emerged since then and only combined therapies are currently used in clinic. In addition, some of these compounds have been found to have an immunomodulatory behavior that allows clinicians using them as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an updated state-of-the-art on the use of antifolates as antibacterial and immunomodulating agents in the clinical setting, as well as to present their action mechanisms and currently investigated biomedical applications. Keywords: folic acid antagonists; antifolates; antibiotics; antibacterials; immunomodulation; sulfonamides; antimalarial 1.

Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 16 October 2020 Abstract: In recent years, huge amounts of antibiotics have been administered to farm animals, and as a result, residues of these antibiotics can accumulate in livestock products and, once consumed, may be transmitted to humans. Farm animals’ antibiotic treatment may therefore present a risk for consumers health, especially for children and adolescents. In children, the immune system is not fully developed, and thus, they are more susceptible than adults to resistant bacteria. A dietary exposure assessment was conducted on veterinary antibiotics found in raw pork meat among children and adolescents in Cyprus, since pork is the most consumed red meat in Cypriot population.

  • The Ocean As a Global Reservoir of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
    The Ocean as a Global Reservoir of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Stephen M. Hatosy,a Adam C. Martinya,b Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, California, USAa; Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine, California, USAb Recent studies of natural environments have revealed vast genetic reservoirs of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes. Soil bacteria and Downloaded from human pathogens share AR genes, and AR genes have been discovered in a variety of habitats. However, there is little knowledge about the presence and diversity of AR genes in marine environments and which organisms host AR genes. To address this, we identified the diversity of genes conferring resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and sulfadimethoxine in diverse marine environments using functional metagenomics (the cloning and screening of random DNA fragments). Marine environ- ments were host to a diversity of AR-conferring genes. Antibiotic-resistant clones were found at all sites, with 28% of the genes identified as known AR genes (encoding beta-lactamases, bicyclomycin resistance pumps, etc.). However, the majority of AR genes were not previously classified as such but had products similar to proteins such as transport pumps, oxidoreductases, and hydrolases. Furthermore, 44% of the genes conferring antibiotic resistance were found in abundant marine taxa (e.g., Pelagibac- http://aem.asm.org/ ter, Prochlorococcus, and Vibrio). Therefore, we uncovered a previously unknown diversity of genes that conferred an AR pheno- type among marine environments, which makes the ocean a global reservoir of both clinically relevant and potentially novel AR genes. he spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) is critically important sity of marine AR genes, and (iii) are these genes harbored by Tto human health.

  • The Local Use of the Sulfonamide Drugs
    THE LOCAL USE OF THE SULFONAMIDE DRUGS GEORGE CRILE Jr., M.D. Since the introduction of sulfanilamide and its derivatives, the reliance upon chemotherapy for the control of acute surgical infections has temporarily overshadowed the importance of sound surgical princi- ples and often has resulted in the administration of inefficient or inade- quate treatment. Too often, the physician fails to recognize the limita- tions of chemotherapy and vainly attempts to control the infection well beyond the optimum time for surgical intervention. Chemotherapy is very effective in controlling infections from hemo- lytic streptococcus; is moderately effective in controlling staphylococcic infections; but is of slight value when administered systemically in patients infected with the nonhemolytic streptococcus or colon bacillus. However, even in infections caused by the hemolytic streptococcus or the staphylococcus, sulfanilamide and sulfathiazole cannot replace surgery after suppuration has taken place and mechanical drainage of an abscess is required. It is in the treatment of lymphangitis and cellulitis, not in the treatment of abscesses, that chemotherapy has been of the greatest value. The work of Lockwood1 and others has indicated that the products of proteolysis in vitro interfere with the bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal powers of sulfanilamide. The presence of similar substances in undrained abscess cavities probably interferes with the destruction of the organ- isms by chemotherapy. Accordingly, the sulfonamide drugs should supplement rather than replace early and adequate surgical drainage, especially in the presence of suppuration. The local application of the sulfonamide drugs is based upon the principle that the local concentration of the drug in the tissues is ten to twenty times as high as that which can be obtained by any method of systemic administration.

For this purpose, Sarafloxacin (SAR) was employed to synthesize the immunogen and coating antigen through EDC conjugation method, and cell fusion technology was used to produce anti-SAR monoclonal antiobdy. Based on the square matrix titration, an icELISA method was established. The dynamic range for Sarafloxacin in assay buffer was from 0.004 to 18 ng/mL, with LOD and IC50 value of 0.002 ng/mL and 0.32 ng/mL, respectively. After optimization, the physiological pH (7.4) was selected for the immunoassays, and this assay could tolerate up to 10% acetonitrile. The results of this assay showed a high cross- reactivity to Difloxacin (85.5%), Norfloxacin (61.7%), and Pefloxacin (34.8%). Under the 10-fold dilution in authentic fish samples, the regression curve equations for Sarafloxacin, Difloxacin, Norfloxacin and Pefloxacin were y = 1.0114x - 0.4003, R2= 0.9901; y = 0.9782x + 0.2754, R2= 0.9807; y = 0.9892x +0.0489, R2= 0.9843; and y = 0.9797x +0.8017, R2= 0.9844, respectively.

Among the different antibiotic classes, tetracyclines and sulfonamides are two of the most used for veterinary proposals. Due to the fact that these compounds are poorly absorbed in the gut of animals, a significant proportion (up to ~90%) of them are excreted unchanged, thus reaching the environment mainly through the application of manures and slurries as fertilizers in agricultural fields. Once in the soil, antibiotics are subjected to a series of physicochemical and biological processes, which depend both on the antibiotic nature and soil characteristics. Adsorption/desorption to soil particles and degradation are the main processes that will affect the persistence, bioavailability, and environmental fate of these pollutants, thus determining their potential impacts and risks on human and ecological health.
