Abstract Clostridium species (particularly Clostridium difficile, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium tetani and Clostridium perfringens)are associated with a range of human and animal diseases. Several other species including Clostridium tertium, Clostridium cadaveris, and Clostridium paraputrificum have also been linked with sporadic human infections, however there is very limited, or in some cases, no genomic information publicly available. Thus, we isolated one C. tertium strain, one C. cadaveris strain and three C. paraputrificum strains from preterm infants residing within neonatal intensive care units and performed Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) using Illumina HiSeq. In this report, we announce the open availability of the draft genomes: C.

  • Antibiotic and Antibiotic Resistance
    ANTIBIOTIC AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE Helle Ericsson Unnerstad Veterinarian, Associate Professor Department of Animal Health and Antimicrobial Strategies National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala, Sweden ITP, SVA, 28 September, 2018 Antibiotics or antimicrobials? • Old definition: Antibiotics are naturally produced by microorganisms. • Perhaps more useful definitions today: Antimicrobials are compounds with direct action on microorganisms. They are used for treatment or prevention of infections. Antimicrobials are inclusive of anti-bacterials, anti-virals, anti-fungals and anti-protozoals. Antibiotics are synonymous with anti-bacterials. • “Antibiotic resistance” more familiar for the public than “antimicrobial resistance” according to WHO survey. • In many contexts antibiotic resistance and antimicrobial resistance are used synonymously. Antibiotics – toxins for bacteria Antibiotic Antibiotic activity • Bactericidal activity – kill bacteria • Bacteriostatic activity – inhibit or delay bacterial growth Mechanisms of action for antibiotics Inhibition of Inhibition of cell wall synthesis protein synthesis • Aminoglycosides • Beta lactams • Tetracyclines • Cephalosporins • Macrolides • Glycopeptides • Lincosamides • Chloramphenicol • Fusidic acid • Pleuromutilins Inhibition of Inhibition of folic acid synthesis DNA/RNA synthesis • Sulphonamides • Quinolones • Trimethoprim • Coumarins • Rifamycins Spectra of activity • Broad-spectrum antibiotics Ex. tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, 3:d and 4:th gen cephalosporins, carbapenems (G+, G-, aerobes,

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.

  • We Have Reported That the Antibiotics Chloramphenicol, Lincomycin
    THE BIOGENESIS OF MITOCHONDRIA, V. CYTOPLASMIC INHERITANCE OF ERYTHROMYCIN RESISTANCE IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE* BY ANTHONY W. LINNANE, G. W. SAUNDERS, ELLIOT B. GINGOLD, AND H. B. LUKINS BIOCHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT, MONASH UNIVERSITY, CLAYTON, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA Communicated by David E. Green, December 26, 1967 The recognition and study of respiratory-deficient mutants of yeast has been of fundamental importance in contributing to our knowledge of the genetic control of the formation of mitochondria. From these studies it has been recognized that cytoplasmic genetic determinants as well as chromosomal genes are involved in the biogenesis of yeast mitochondria.1' 2 Following the recog- nition of the occurrence of mitochondrial DNA,3 4 attention has recently been focused on the relationship between mitochondrial DNA and the cytoplasmic determinant.' However, the information on this latter subject is limited and is derived from the study of a single class of mutant of this determinant, the re- spiratory-deficient cytoplasmic petite. This irreversible mutation is pheno- typically characterized by the inability of the cell to form a number of compo- nents of the respiratory system, including cytochromes a, a3, b, and c1.6 A clearer understanding of the role of cytoplasmic determinants in mitochondrial bio- genesis, could result from the characterization of new types of cytoplasmic mutations which do not result in such extensive biochemical changes. This would thus simplify the biochemical analyses as well as providing additional cytoplasmic markers to assist further genetic studies. We have reported that the antibiotics chloramphenicol, lincomycin, and the macrolides erythromycin, carbomycin, spiramycin, and oleandomycin selec- tively inhibit in vitro amino acid incorporation by yeast mitochondria, while not affecting the yeast cytoplasmic ribosomal system.7' 8 Further, these antibiotics do not affect the growth of S.

Danish copyright law restricts all other use without written permission of the publisher. Exception is granted for short excerpts for review purposes. iv Foreword The first edition of the Antibiotic Use Guidelines for Companion Animal Practice was published in autumn of 2012. The aim of the guidelines was to prevent increased antibiotic resistance. A questionnaire circulated to Danish veterinarians in 2015 (Jessen et al., DVT 10, 2016) indicated that the guidelines were well received, and particularly that active users had followed the recommendations. Despite a positive reception and the results of this survey, the actual quantity of antibiotics used is probably a better indicator of the effect of the first guidelines. Chapter two of these updated guidelines therefore details the pattern of developments in antibiotic use, as reported in DANMAP 2016 (www.danmap.org).

  • 600Mg/2Ml (As Hydrochloride Monohydrate) Injection Vial
    AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION - LINCOCIN lincomycin 600mg/2mL (as hydrochloride monohydrate) injection vial 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINE Lincomycin hydrochloride monohydrate 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each mL contains lincomycin hydrochloride monohydrate equivalent to lincomycin base 300 mg; Excipients with known effect • benzyl alcohol, 9.45 mg For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1, List of Excipients. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM LINCOCIN Injection is a clear, colourless or almost colourless solution, practically free from particles. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS LINCOCIN is indicated in the treatment of serious infections due to susceptible strains of gram-positive aerobes such as streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci. Its use should be reserved for penicillin-allergic patients or other patients for whom, in the judgement of the physician, a penicillin is inappropriate. Because of the risk of colitis (see section 4.4, Special Warnings and Precautions for Use), before selecting lincomycin the physician should consider the nature of infection and the suitability of less toxic alternatives (e.g. erythromycin). LINCOCIN has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of staphylococcal infections resistant to other antibiotics and susceptible to lincomycin. Staphylococcal strains resistant to LINCOCIN have been recovered; culture and susceptibility studies should be done in conjunction with LINCOCIN therapy. In the case of macrolides, partial but not complete cross resistance may occur. The drug may be administered concomitantly with other antimicrobial agents with which it is compatible when indicated (see section 4.4, Special Warnings and Precautions for Use). The specific infections for which LINCOCIN is indicated are as follows: * Upper respiratory infections including tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis media, sinusitis, scarlet fever and as adjuvant therapy for diphtheria.

It is not only the first logical step to study the characteristics of medicines authorized for marketing, but also a requisite to set up a pharmacovigilance system, thus promoting rational drug utilization. The three medicines market studies presented in the present document were conducted in Pakistan with the aim of describing the characteristics of the pharmaceutical products available in the country as well as their consumption at a national level, with a special focus on antimicrobials.
