  • Comparison of Arbekacin and Vancomycin in Treatment of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media by Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Infectious Diseases, Microbiology & Parasitology http://dx.doi.org/10.3346/jkms.2015.30.6.688 • J Korean Med Sci 2015; 30: 688-693 Comparison of Arbekacin and Vancomycin in Treatment of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media by Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Ji-Hee Hwang,1 Ju-Hyung Lee,2,4 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of ear infections. We Jeong-Hwan Hwang,3 Kyung Min Chung,5 attempted to evaluate the clinical usefulness of arbekacin in treating chronic suppurative Eun-Jung Lee,6 Yong-Joo Yoon,4,6 otitis media (CSOM) by comparing its clinical efficacy and toxicity with those of Mi-Kyoung Moon,1 Ju-Sin Kim,1 vancomycin. Efficacy was classified according to bacterial elimination or bacteriologic 1 3,4 Kyoung-Suk Won, and Chang-Seop Lee failure and improved or failed clinical efficacy response. Ninety-five subjects were diagnosed with CSOM caused by MRSA. Twenty of these subjects were treated with 1Department of Pharmacy, Chonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju; Departments of arbekacin, and 36 with vancomycin. The bacteriological efficacy (bacterial elimination, 2Preventive Medicine and 3Internal Medicine, arbekacin vs. vancomycin: 85.0% vs. 97.2%) and improved clinical efficacy (arbekacin vs. Chonbuk National University Medical School, vancomycin; 90.0% vs. 97.2%) were not different between the two groups. However, the 4 Jeonju; Research Institute of Clinical Medicine of rate of complications was higher in the vancomycin group (33.3%) than in the arbekacin Chonbuk National University-Chonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju; Departments of group (5.0%) (P = 0.020). In addition, a total of 12 adverse reactions were observed in the 5Microbiology & Immunology, and 6Otolaryngology- vancomycin group; two for hepatotoxicity, one for nephrotoxicity, eight for leukopenia, Head and Neck Surgery, Chonbuk National two for skin rash, and one for drug fever.

  • Technical Information
    Technical Information Antibiotic Assay Medium No.1 (Seed Agar) Product Code : DM1003 Application: - Antibiotic Assay Medium No.1 (Seed Agar) is used in the microbiological assay of beta-lactam and other antibiotics. Composition** Ingredients Gms / Litre Peptic digest of animal tissue (Peptone) 6.000 or detecting faecal coliforms drinking in water waste water, seawater and foods samples by MPN Method. Casein enzymic hydrolysate 4.000 Yeast extract 3.000 Beef extract 1.500 Dextrose 1.000 Agar 15.000 Final pH (at 25°C) 6.6±0.2 **Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters Principle & Interpretation The potency of an antibiotic can be determined by chemical, physical and biological methods. An assay is performed to determine the ability of an antibiotic to kill or inhibit the growth of living microorganisms. Biological tests offer the most convenient m eans of performing an assay (1), since a reduction in the antimicrobial activity of a specific antibiotic reveals changes that is not usually displayed by chemical methods (2). Antibacterial susceptibility testing may be performed by either dilution (turbidimetric) or diffusion methods. The choice o f methodology is based on many factors, including ease of performance, flexibility and use of automated or semi-automated devices for both identification and susceptibility testing (3). Grove and Randall have elucidated antibiotic assays and media in their comprehensive treatise on antibiotic assays (4). Antibiotic Assay Medium No.1 is used in the microbiological assay of ß-lactam and other antibiotics. These media are prepared according to the specifications detailed in various pharmacopoeias (2-6) and by the FDA (7).

  • Allosteric Drug Transport Mechanism of Multidrug Transporter Acrb
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24151-3 OPEN Allosteric drug transport mechanism of multidrug transporter AcrB ✉ Heng-Keat Tam 1,3,4 , Wuen Ee Foong 1,4, Christine Oswald1,2, Andrea Herrmann1, Hui Zeng1 & ✉ Klaas M. Pos 1 Gram-negative bacteria maintain an intrinsic resistance mechanism against entry of noxious compounds by utilizing highly efficient efflux pumps. The E. coli AcrAB-TolC drug efflux pump + 1234567890():,; contains the inner membrane H /drug antiporter AcrB comprising three functionally inter- dependent protomers, cycling consecutively through the loose (L), tight (T) and open (O) state during cooperative catalysis. Here, we present 13 X-ray structures of AcrB in inter- mediate states of the transport cycle. Structure-based mutational analysis combined with drug susceptibility assays indicate that drugs are guided through dedicated transport chan- nels toward the drug binding pockets. A co-structure obtained in the combined presence of erythromycin, linezolid, oxacillin and fusidic acid shows binding of fusidic acid deeply inside the T protomer transmembrane domain. Thiol cross-link substrate protection assays indicate that this transmembrane domain-binding site can also accommodate oxacillin or novobiocin but not erythromycin or linezolid. AcrB-mediated drug transport is suggested to be allos- terically modulated in presence of multiple drugs. 1 Institute of Biochemistry, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. 2 Sosei Heptares, Steinmetz Building, Granta Park, Great Abington, Cambridge, UK. 3Present

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.

    VOL.53 NO. 10, OCT.2000 THE JOURNAL OF ANTIBIOTICS pp.1168 - 1174 Double Stage Activity in Aminoglycoside Antibiotics Kunimoto Hotta, Atsuko Sunada, Yoko Ikeda1" and Shinichi Kondo1" National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1-23-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-8640, Japan f Institute of Microbial Chemistry, 3-14-23 Kamiosaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 141-0021, Japan (Received for publication July 5, 2000) Fourteen different aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) were challenged with aminoglycoside acetyltransferases (AACs) of actinomycete origin in order to examine their 'double stage activity' that is arbitrarily defined as antibiotic activity retainable after enzymatic modification. In kanamycin (KM)-group AGs tested [KM, dibekacin (DKB), amikacin and arbekacin (ABK)], ABKretained activity after acetylations by AAC(3), AAC(2') and AAC(6'). DKBalso retained a weak activity after acetylation by AAC(2'). In gentamicin (GM)-group AGs tested [GM, micronomicin, sisomicin (SISO), netilmicin (NTL) and isepamicin], GM, SISO and NTL retained activites after acetylation by AAC(2'). In neomycin (NM)-group AGs tested [ribostamycin, NM,paromomycin], NMretained activity after acetylation by AAC(6') and AAC(2'). None of astromicin (ASTM)-group AGs tested (ASTMand istamycin B) retained activity after acetylation by AAC(2') and AAC(6'). The activities of acetylated ABK derivatives by AAC(3) and AAC(2') were distinctively high, compared to the others. Streptomyces lividans TK21containing the cloned aac genes were markedly sensitive to AGs that retained activities after acetylation, indicating the substantial effect of 'double stage activity'. Aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics are generally resistant bacteria was developed by introducing (S)-4- inactivated by acetylation, phosphorylation and adenylyl- amino-2-hydroxybutyryl (AHB) side chain at 1-NH2 of ation due to AG acetyltransferases (AACs), AG KM.
