TDM is a fundamental tool for measuring the concentration of drugs that have a limited or highly toxic dose in different body fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, and urine, among others. Using different techniques that allow for the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis of the drug, TDM can reduce the risks inherent in treatment. Among these techniques, nanotechnology focused on biosensors, which are relevant due to their versatility, sensitivity, specificity, and low cost. They provide results in real time, using an element for biological recognition coupled to a signal transducer. This review describes recent advances in the quantification of AB using biosensors with a focus on TDM as a fundamental aspect of personalized medicine. Keywords: biosensors; therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), antibiotic; personalized medicine 1. Introduction The discovery of antibiotics (AB) ushered in a new era of progress in controlling bacterial infections in human health, agriculture, and livestock [1] However, the use of AB has been challenged due to the appearance of multi-resistant bacteria (MDR), which have increased significantly in recent years due to AB mismanagement and have become a global public health problem [2].

  • Environmental Risk Assessment of Antibiotics: Investigations Into Cyanobacteria Interspecies Sensitivities and Establishing Appropriate Protection Limits
    Environmental Risk Assessment of Antibiotics: Investigations into Cyanobacteria Interspecies Sensitivities and Establishing Appropriate Protection Limits Submitted by Gareth Curtis Le Page to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences In December 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: …………………………………………………………...(Gareth Le Page) 1 Abstract Antibiotics have been described as a ‘wonder drug’ that have transformed medicine since their discovery at the beginning of the 20th century and are used globally in safeguarding human and animal health. Environmental risk assessment (ERA) aims to ensure their environmental safety by setting protection limits that seek to prevent adverse effects upon populations and ecosystem function. In the case of antibiotics however, there is concern that ERA may not be fully protective of bacterial populations. This thesis examines the ERA of antibiotics and highlights that protection limits may in some cases be under-protective or over-protective for bacteria populations (including cyanobacteria), depending on the antibiotic mode of action and the species on which the protection limit is based. The first section of the thesis contains a systematic review including a meta-analysis of all publically available aquatic ecotoxicity data. The results illustrate that generally bacteria are the most sensitive taxa to antibiotics compared with eukaryotes but that interspecies variability in sensitivity among bacteria can range by up to five orders of magnitude.

  • Treatment with Sub-Inhibitory Kanamycin Induces Adaptive Resistance to Aminoglycoside Antibiotics Via the Acrd Multidrug Efflux Pump in Escherichia Coli K-12
    Journal of Experimental Microbiology and Immunology (JEMI) Vol. 16: 11 – 16 Copyright © April 2012, M&I UBC Treatment with Sub-inhibitory Kanamycin Induces Adaptive Resistance to Aminoglycoside Antibiotics via the AcrD Multidrug Efflux Pump in Escherichia coli K-12 Kiran Sidhu, Martha Talbot, Kirstin Van Mil, and Meghan Verstraete Department of Microbiology & Immunology, University of British Columbia Research has shown that exposing Escherichia coli cells to sub-inhibitory concentrations of kanamycin induces adaptive resistance upon subsequent exposure to lethal levels of both structurally-similar and unrelated antibiotics. AcrD is an efflux pump that forms a complex with the outer membrane pore TolC and the periplasmic membrane fusion protein AcrA. Together, this complex works to export a variety of aminoglycosides and amphiphilic compounds from the cell. The involvement of AcrD in the observed adaptive resistance was assessed by comparing the induction of adaptive resistance upon exposure to kanamycin in wild- type and acrD-deficient Escherichia coli strains. Both strains were pretreated with sub- inhibitory concentrations of kanamycin and subsequently exposed to lethal concentrations of ampicillin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, and tetracycline. Growth was monitored over 18 hours via optical density readings. Comparing the relative growth of the different treatments revealed that adaptive resistance was only induced in the wild-type strain towards kanamycin and streptomycin. This indicates that AcrD is necessary for the induced adaptive resistance and that it is specific to aminoglycosides. Additionally, molecular techniques were used to assess the level of expression of acrA, which was found to be upregulated in both the wild-type and acrD deletion strains following pretreatment with kanamycin.

Academic Editor: Yung-Fu Chang Received: 31 May 2015 / Accepted: 3 July 2015 / Published: 10 July 2015 Abstract: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains a substantial burden on healthcare systems and is likely to remain so given our reliance on antimicrobial therapies to treat bacterial infections, especially in an aging population in whom multiple co-morbidities are common. Antimicrobial agents are a key component in the aetiology of CDI, both in the establishment of the infection and also in its treatment. The purpose of this review is to summarise the role of antimicrobial agents in primary and recurrent CDI; assessing why certain antimicrobial classes may predispose to the induction of CDI according to a balance between antimicrobial activity against the gut microflora and C. difficile. Considering these aspects of CDI is important in both the prevention of the infection and in the development of new antimicrobial treatments.

Since so many generations are able to be observed, one should theoretically be able to observe thousands of generations and determine evolution’s effects over a short period of time. In this experiment, E. coli K12 cells were cultured under ideal growth conditions but in the presence of antibiotics as a selective environmental stress in order to select for resistance. This was accomplished by serially passing colonies that were in close contact with two different, but similar antibiotics over a period of more than 4,000 generations. The goal was to improve research in the antibiotic sensitivity properties of E. coli and to determine if the data are in agreement with the theory that bacteria or other species will accumulate new phenotypic traits via development of genotypic changes that will enhance the survival of the organism, especially under selective pressure (e.g.
