Ampicillin Intolerance

Bioavailability of ampicillin (anhydrous) and ampicillin trihydrate.

Ampicillin susceptibility and ampicillin-induced killing rate of Escherichia coli.

The killing rate induced by ampicillin was determined in 20 strains of Escherichia coli. The apparent generation rate constant for each E. coli showed a characteristic concentration-dependent course. This course can be mathematically described and is determined by four parameters. Three of these parameters determine the speed of the process, and the fourth parameter determines a minimal concent...

Effects of ampicillin-amikacin and ampicillin-rifampin on enterococci.

Fifty-seven clinical isolates of enterococcus were tested for susceptibility to 10 antibiotics in a microtiter broth dilution system. Amoxicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, and rifampin inhibited all strains at concentrations easily achievable in blood. Resistance to rifampin developed rapidly. Of the aminoglycosides, gentamicin was most active, followed in decreasing order by tobramycin, amikaci...

1. Explain the causes of exercise intolerance. 2. List the two most useful diagnostic tools for assessing exercise intolerance. 3. Describe how pulmonary dysfunctions, cardiac diseases, and muscular disorders affect exercise tolerance. 4. Delineate the nonpharmacologic treatment of choice for most cases of exercise intolerance. 5. Explain the role of behavioral modification within a family-base...

Lactose intolerance.

Lactose is the main carbohydrate in infant feeding, but its impact decreases as the child gets older and consumes less milk and dairy products. Congenital lactose intolerance is a very rare condition. However, lactase activity may be low and need to mature during the first weeks of life in many infants. However, the evidence that unabsorbed lactose is causing infantile crying and colic is contr...
