Ultimately, what matters is whether progress has been made in terms of resistance. It has been proven that the improper use of antibiotics has an influence on the development of resis- tance.

Both therapeutic regimens proved effective, but in patients treated with tetracycline both clinical symptoms and fever disappeared significantly more quickly. Likewise, when those patients who began treatment within the first 72 hours of illness are considered the febrile period had a significantly shorter duration in the group treated with tetracycline. One patient was switched to tetracycline because there was no improvement of clinical manifestations, with persistence of fever, myalgias, and prostration, after receiving eight days of treatment with erythromycin. These results suggest that tetracyclines are superior to erythromycin in the treatment of Mediterranean spotted fever. copyright.

  • Simultaneous Determination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid in Pharmaceutical Preparations by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
    Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences vol. 52, n. 2, apr./jun., 2016 Article http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-82502016000200006 Simultaneous determination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in pharmaceutical preparations by capillary zone electrophoresis Gabriel Hancu1,*, Anamaria Neacşu1, Lajos Attila Papp1, Adriana Ciurba2 1Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, TîrguMureş, Romania, 2Department of PharmaceuticalTechnology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tîrgu Mureş, Romania Clavulanic acid enhances the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin by rendering most β-lactamase producing isolates susceptible to the drug. A fast, simple and efficient capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the simultaneous determination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid from complex mixtures. Using a 25 mM sodium tetraborate as background electrolyte at a pH of 9.30, + 25 kV applied voltage, 25 °C system temperature, UV determination at 230 nm; we succeeded in simultaneous separation of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in approximately 2 minutes. The analytical performance of the method was evaluated in terms of reproducibility, precision, accuracy, and linearity. The optimized analytical method was applied for the determination of the two analytes from combined commercial pharmaceutical preparations. This CE method is fast, inexpensive, efficient, and environmentally friendly when compared with the more frequently used high performance liquid chromatography methods described in the literature. Uniterms: Amoxicillin/determination. Clavulanic acid/determination. Capillary electrophoresis/ quantitative analysis. Antibacterials/quantitative analysis. O ácido clavulânico acentua o espectro antibacteriano de amoxicilina, tornando a maioria dos isolados produtores de β-lactamase sensíveis ao fármaco.

  • B-Lactams: Chemical Structure, Mode of Action and Mechanisms of Resistance
    b-Lactams: chemical structure, mode of action and mechanisms of resistance Ru´ben Fernandes, Paula Amador and Cristina Prudeˆncio This synopsis summarizes the key chemical and bacteriological characteristics of b-lactams, penicillins, cephalosporins, carbanpenems, monobactams and others. Particular notice is given to first-generation to fifth-generation cephalosporins. This review also summarizes the main resistance mechanism to antibiotics, focusing particular attention to those conferring resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins by means of production of emerging cephalosporinases (extended-spectrum b-lactamases and AmpC b-lactamases), target alteration (penicillin-binding proteins from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and membrane transporters that pump b-lactams out of the bacterial cell. Keywords: b-lactams, chemical structure, mechanisms of resistance, mode of action Historical perspective Alexander Fleming first noticed the antibacterial nature of penicillin in 1928. When working with Antimicrobials must be understood as any kind of agent another bacteriological problem, Fleming observed with inhibitory or killing properties to a microorganism. a contaminated culture of Staphylococcus aureus with Antibiotic is a more restrictive term, which implies the the mold Penicillium notatum. Fleming remarkably saw natural source of the antimicrobial agent. Similarly, under- the potential of this unfortunate event.

Seven out of 22 strains of neomycin-resistant Staph. aureus showed a loss in resistance to neomycin and streptomycin after storage in nutrient broth for 14 days at room temperature, and it seems probable that resistance in these unstable strains was controlled by extra- chromosomal elements or plasmids.

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMaster University © Copyright by Chelsea Walker, May 2017 McMaster University MASTER OF SCIENCE (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences) TITLE: Resistance Profiling of Microbial Genomes to Reveal Novel Antibiotic Natural Products. AUTHOR: Chelsea Walker, H. BSc. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nathan A. Magarvey. COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Dr. Eric Brown and Dr. Michael G. Surette. NUMBER OF PAGES: xvii, 168 ii Lay Abstract It would be hard to imagine a world where we could no longer use the antibiotics we are routinely being prescribed for common bacterial infections. Currently, we are in an era where this thought could become a reality. Although we have been able to discover antibiotics in the past from soil dwelling microbes, this approach to discovery is being constantly challenged. At the same time, the bacteria are getting smarter in their ways to evade antibiotics, in the form of resistance, or self-protection mechanisms. As such is it essential to devise methods which can predict the potential for resistance to the antibiotics we use early in the discovery and isolation process. By using what we have learned in the past about how bacteria protect themselves for antibiotics, we can to stay one step ahead of them as we continue to search for new sources of antibiotics from bacteria. iii Abstract Microbial natural products have been an invaluable resource for providing clinically relevant therapeutics for almost a century, including most of the commonly used antibiotics that are still in medical use today.
