TALLY* Division ofInfectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, New England Medical Center Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02111 Received 9 November 1984/Accepted 14 March 1985 The activity of cefbuperazone was tested in vitro against 287 clinical isolates of Bacteroides spp. Cefbuperazone showed good activity against P. fragils, B. vulgatus, and other Bacteroides species, comparable to that of cefoxitin. It was relatively ineffective against B. distasonis and the B. thetaiotaomicron-ovatus group and was not active against cefoxitin-resistant Barteroides spp. Cefbuperazone (BMY-25182) is a new semisynthetic the B. thetaiotaomicron-ovatus group showed high rates of cephamycin antibiotic.

    VOL. XLII NO. 6 THE JOURNAL OF ANTIBIOTICS 989 STIMULATORY EFFECT OF CEFODIZIME ON MACROPHAGE- MEDIATED PHAGOCYTOSIS Kazunori Oishi, Keizo Matsumoto, Masashi Yamamoto, Toshihiro Morito and Toshiaki Yoshida Department of Internal Medicine, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Nagasaki University, 12-4 Sakamoto-machi, Nagasaki 852, Japan (Received for publication January 27, 1989) Weevaluated the ingestion of anti-sheep erythrocyte (anti-E) IgG- and IgM-coated sheep erythiocytes by murineperitoneal macrophagesexposed to cefodizime, a newsemisynthetic cephalosporin, and other antibiotics. Cefodizime enhanced the ingestion of anti-E IgG- coated erythrocytes by peritoneal macrophages from CD-I and BALB/cmice in a dose- dependent manner, but had no effect on uncoated or IgM-coated erythrocytes. Similar enhancement was observed only in the case of cefpimizole (AC-1370), among the other anti- biotics examined. These results suggest that the favorable in vivo activity of cefodizime and cefpimizole may result from their phagocytosis-enhancing as well as antimicrobial properties. The new semisynthetic cephalosporin, cefodizime, is characterized by a cephem ring which con- tains a ^w-methoxyimino-aminothiazolyl group at the 7-position and a thiazolylthio-methyl group at the 3-position. The latter substitution is thought to provide metabolic stability and a prolonged half-life in humanserum0. The efficacy of cefodizime in experimental murine infections is apparently superior to that predicted from in vitro activity2>3). Wepostulated that the enhanced in vivo activity of cefodizime may be due to drug-induced immunostimulation. This speculation was in part based upon the previous demonstration that a variety of agents, including lysophosphatidylcholine4) and fibronectin5), enhance receptor-dependent phagocytosis. Moreover, it was previously reported that cefpimizole (AC-1370), another semisynthetic cephalosporin, potentiated phagocyte function of macrophages and neutrophils6).

    microorganisms Review The Genus Ochrobactrum as Major Opportunistic Pathogens Michael P. Ryan 1,2 and J. Tony Pembroke 2,* 1 Department of Applied Sciences, Limerick Institute of Technology, Moylish V94 EC5T, Limerick, Ireland; [email protected] 2 Molecular Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemical Sciences, School of Natural Sciences, Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Limerick V94 T9PX2, Ireland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 13 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: Ochrobactrum species are non-enteric, Gram-negative organisms that are closely related to the genus Brucella. Since the designation of the genus in 1988, several distinct species have now been characterised and implicated as opportunistic pathogens in multiple outbreaks. Here, we examine the genus, its members, diagnostic tools used for identification, data from recent Ochrobactrum whole genome sequencing and the pathogenicity associated with reported Ochrobactrum infections. This review identified 128 instances of Ochrobactrum spp. infections that have been discussed in the literature. These findings indicate that infection review programs should consider investigation of possible Ochrobactrum spp. outbreaks if these bacteria are clinically isolated in more than one patient and that Ochrobactrum spp. are more important pathogens than previously thought. Keywords: Ochrobactrum; nosocomial infection; environmental bacteria 1. Introduction Gram-negative, non-fermenting bacteria are an emergent worry in medical situations and are becoming a growing cause of severe infections. Pathogens of this type are opportunistic and include many different bacterial species, such as Ralstonia spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Brevundimonas spp. [1–5]. Gram-negative, non-fermenting bacteria can infect both patients undergoing treatments and individuals outside of a clinical setting with various underlying conditions or diseases.

These four cepha- mycins were not inactivated by Ic CSase and TEM type PCase or producers of these enzymes. However, the inactivation of cefmetazole and cefoxitin was noted when they were incubated in the cultures of CSase (la and 1b)-producers or incubated with a large amount of these purified enzymes although the inactivation of cefbuperazone was not noted. HPLC of culture fluid or enzyme solution which contained cefmetazole or cefoxitin and were incubated at 37°C showed that metabolites of cefmetazole or cefoxitin appeared as the drug disappeared. In addition, the appearance of metabolites corresponded to the loss of the drug's bioactivities and the absorption of iodine.

  • Statistical Analysis Plan / Data Specifications the Risk of Acute Liver Injury Associated with the Use of Antibiotics. a Replica
    WP6 validation on methods involving an extended audience Statistical analysis plan / data specifications The risk of acute liver injury associated with the use of antibiotics. A replication study in the Utrecht Patient Oriented Database Version: July 11, 2013 Authors: Renate Udo, Marie L De Bruin Reviewers: Work package 6 members (David Irvine, Stephany Tcherny-Lessenot) 1 1. Context The study described in this protocol is performed within the framework of PROTECT (Pharmacoepidemiological Research on Outcomes of Therapeutics by a European ConsorTium). The overall objective of PROTECT is to strengthen the monitoring of the benefit-risk of medicines in Europe. Work package 6 “validation on methods involving an extended audience” aims to test the transferability/feasibility of methods developed in other WPs (in particular WP2 and WP5) in a range of data sources owned or managed by Consortium Partners or members of the Extended Audience. The specific aims of this study within WP6 are: to evaluate the external validity of the study protocol on the risk of acute liver injury associated with the use of antibiotics by replicating the study protocol in another database, to study the impact of case validation on the effect estimate for the association between antibiotic exposure and acute liver injury. Of the selected drug-adverse event pairs selected in PROTECT, this study will concentrate on the association between antibiotic use and acute liver injury. On this topic, two sub-studies are performed: a descriptive/outcome validation study and an association study. The descriptive/outcome validation study has been conducted within the Utrecht Patient Oriented Database (UPOD).
