The Role of Nanobiosensors in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Journal of Personalized Medicine Review Personalized Medicine for Antibiotics: The Role of Nanobiosensors in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Vivian Garzón 1, Rosa-Helena Bustos 2 and Daniel G. Pinacho 2,* 1 PhD Biosciences Program, Universidad de La Sabana, Chía 140013, Colombia; [email protected] 2 Therapeutical Evidence Group, Clinical Pharmacology, Universidad de La Sabana, Chía 140013, Colombia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +57-1-8615555 (ext. 23309) Received: 21 August 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 25 September 2020 Abstract: Due to the high bacterial resistance to antibiotics (AB), it has become necessary to adjust the dose aimed at personalized medicine by means of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). 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]. -

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. -

Division of Marine Biotechnology, Asia-Pacific Ocean Research Center, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2. National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, Pingtung, Taiwan, R.O.C. (Received: August 30, 2010; Accepted: April 26, 2012) ABSTRACT A LC-MS/MS method was validated for the simultaneous quantification of 4 quinolones (oxolinic acid, enrofloxacine, ciprofloxacine, norfloxacine) and 4 sulfonamides (sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfadoxine, sulfadimidine, sulfamerazine) on fish muscle following the Euro- pean Union’s (EU) criteria for the analysis of veterinary drug residues in foods. One gram of sample was extracted by acidic acetonitrile (0.5 mL of 0.1% formic acid in 7 mL of ACN), followed by LC-MS/MS analysis using an electrospray ionization interface. Typical recoveries of the 4 quinolones in the fish tissues ranged from 85 to 104%. While those of the sulfonamides ranged from 75 to 94% at the fortification level of 5.0 μg/kg. The decision limits (CCα) and detection capabilities (CCβ) of the quinolones were 1.35 to 2.10 μg/kg and 1.67 to 2.75 μg/kg, respectively. Meanwhile, the CCα and CCβ of the sulfonamides ranged from 1.62 μg/kg to 2.53μg/kg and 2.01μg/kg to 3.13 μg/kg, respectively. -

Therapeutic Class Overview Fluoroquinolones
Therapeutic Class Overview Fluoroquinolones INTRODUCTION The fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics grouped into generations based on their spectrum of activity (Bolon 2011). ○ First generation agents, which are structurally quinolones rather than fluoroquinolones, possess activity against aerobic gram-negative bacteria but are not effective against aerobic gram-positive bacteria or anaerobes. The first generation agents (eg, nalidixic acid, cinoxacin) are no longer on the market. ○ Second generation agents, the original fluoroquinolones, contain a fluorine atom at position C-6. These agents offer improved coverage against gram-negative bacteria and moderately improved gram-positive coverage. The available second generation fluoroquinolones include ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ofloxacin. Lomefloxacin and norfloxacin are second generation agents which are no longer on the market. ○ Third generation agents achieve greater potency against gram-positive bacteria, particularly pneumococci, and also possess good activity against anaerobes. All 3 of the third generation agents, gatifloxacin, grepafloxacin, and sparfloxacin, were removed from the market due to toxicities. ○ Fourth generation fluoroquinolones have superior coverage against pneumococci and anaerobes. The available agent is moxifloxacin. Trovafloxacin, was removed from the market due to toxicities, and there is a drug shortage of gemifloxacin. ○ The most recently approved fluoroquinolone, delafloxacin, has an even broader spectrum of antibiotic activity and is commonly referred to as a “next generation” fluoroquinolone. The fluoroquinolones have been used to treat a variety of infections including urinary tract infections, sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, infectious diarrhea, skin and skin structure infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and bacterial prostatitis. A few of the agents also have Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for inhalational anthrax and plague. -

Faculty examiner: Professor Fernando Baquero (Departamento de Microbiología, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigación Sanitaria (IRYCIS), Madrid, Spain). Abstract Praski Alzrigat, L. 2017. Constraints on up-regulation of drug efflux in the evolution of ciprofloxacin resistance. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1335. 48 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9923-5. The crucial role of antibiotics in modern medicine, in curing infections and enabling advanced medical procedures, is being threatened by the increasing frequency of resistant bacteria. Better understanding of the forces selecting resistance mutations could help develop strategies to optimize the use of antibiotics and slow the spread of resistance. Resistance to ciprofloxacin, a clinically important antibiotic, almost always involves target mutations in DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. Because ciprofloxacin is a substrate of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, mutations causing pump up-regulation are also common. Studying the role of efflux pump-regulatory mutations in the development of ciprofloxacin resistance, we found a strong bias against gene-inactivating mutations in marR and acrR in clinical isolates. -
Antimicrobial Usage in the Chicken Farming in Yaoundé, Cameroon: a Cross-Sectional Study
Gondam Kamini et al. International Journal of Food Contamination (2016) 3:10 International Journal DOI 10.1186/s40550-016-0034-6 of Food Contamination DATA ARTICLE Open Access Antimicrobial usage in the chicken farming in Yaoundé, Cameroon: a cross-sectional study Mélanie Gondam Kamini1, Fabrice Tatfo Keutchatang1,2, Huguette Yangoua Mafo1, Germain Kansci2 and Gabriel Medoua Nama1* Abstract Background: Antimicrobials are widely used in chicken production in Cameroon, but no quantitative data are available. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 98 farms holding 220,262 chickens, from February to May 2015 in six areas of Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, to describe and quantify the use of antimicrobials. Results: All the farms were using antimicrobials via drinking water administration. Twenty types of drugs containing antimicrobials belonging to 9 classes were recorded. 19.4 % of farms used antimicrobials for therapeutic purpose, 11.2 % for prophylactic purpose and 69.4 % for both therapeutic and prophylactic. No disease was recorded in 36. 7 % of farms during the last 3 months and 42.9 % of farms were not following withdrawal periods. Fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and nitrofurans were the antimicrobials commonly used by most farms (57.1, 53.1, 46.9 and 17.3 % respectively), whereas sulfonamides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones and nitrofurans were quantitatively the most used compounds (48.2, 26.5, 16.1 and 7.6 % of the total amount of antimicrobials used). The ratio of Used Daily Doses (UDD)/Defined Daily Doses (DDD) estimating correctness of dosing showed that enrofloxacin, sulfadimethoxine and trimethoprim were underdosed in most of the administrations whereas ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin, flumequine, furaltadone, neomycin, sulfadiazine, sulfadimidin and sulfamerazine were usually overdosed. -
Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations*
Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations* Overview Due to low cost and relative efficacy against many common bacterial infections, sulfonamides and sulfonamide combinations with diaminopyrimidines are some of the most common antibacterial agents utilized in veterinary medicine. The sulfonamides are derived from sulfanilamide. These chemicals are structural analogues of ρ-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). All sulfonamides are characterized by the same chemical nucleus. Functional groups are added to the amino group or substitutions made on the amino group to facilitate varying chemical, physical and pharmacologic properties and antibacterial spectra. Most sulfonamides are too alkaline for routine parenteral use. Therefore the drug is most commonly administered orally except in life threatening systemic infections. However, sulfonamide preparations can be administered orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intrauterally and topically. Sulfonamides are effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Some protozoa, such as coccidians, Toxoplasma species and plasmodia, are generally sensitive. Chlamydia, Nocardia and Actinomyces species are also sensitive. Veterinary diseases commonly treated by sulfonamides are actinobacillosis, coccidioidosis, mastitis, metritis, colibacillosis, pododermatitis, polyarthritis, respiratory infections and toxo- plasmosis. Strains of rickettsiae, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Clostridium and Leptospira species are often highly resistant. Sulfonamides are bacteriostatic antimicrobials -

Drug-N-Therapeutics-Committee.Pdf
Irrational use of medicines is a widespread problem at all levels of health care, but especially GUIDE DRUG AND THERAPEUTICS COMMITTEES: A PRATICAL in hospitals. This is particularly worrying as resources are generally scarce and prescribers in communities often copy hospital prescribing practices. Use of medicines can be greatly improved and wastage reduced if some simple principles of drug management are followed. But it is difficult to implement these principles because staff from many different disciplines are involved, often with no forum for bringing them together to develop and implement appropriate medicines policies. A drug and therapeutics committee (DTC) provides such a forum, allowing all the relevant people to work together to improve health care delivery, whether in hospitals or other health facilities. In many developed countries a well functioning DTC has been shown to be very effective in addressing drug use problems. However, in many developing countries DTCs do not exist and in others they do not function optimally, often due to lack of local expertise or a lack of incentives. Drug and Therapeutics Committees: A Practical Guide provides guidance to doctors, pharmacists, hospital managers and other professionals who may be serving on DTCs and/or who are concerned with how to improve the quality and cost efficiency of therapeutic care. It is relevant for all kinds of DTCs - whether in public or private hospitals and whether at district or tertiary referral level. This comprehensive manual covers a committee’s functions and structure, the medicines formulary process, and how to assess new medicines. The chapters on tools to investigate drug use and strategies to promote rational use are followed by a discussion of antimicrobial resistance and infection control.
