In vitro activity of levofloxacin against lower respiratory tract pathogens
BACKGROUND Considerable morbidity and mortality are associated with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) that put a considerable strain on the health budget. Selection of appropriate antibiotics as empirical therapy maximizes positive patient outcomes, and that depends on regular surveillance of infective agents and their antibiograms, which vary according to the geographical areas. AIM...
متن کاملComparative in-vitro activity of levofloxacin against Chlamydia spp.
one strain each and by trimethoprim for three strains were reduced (by 2, 6 and 6–7 mm, respectively) after incubation in a CO 2-containing atmosphere compared with those obtained following incubation in the aerobic atmosphere. None of the seven isolates was CO2dependent and in all cases, the susceptibility categories for the relevant antibiotics were downgraded from susceptible in the aerobic ...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولIn vitro antituberculous activity of thymoquinone, an active principle of Nigella sativa.
BACKGROUND Nigella sativa seed has been used in folk medicine against many ailments including infections. The present study was aimed to investigate activity of thymoquinone, in vitro, against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS Mycobacteria obtained from patients of King Fahd Hospital of University, Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia were subcultured at 37 degrees C in MGIT tubes co...
متن کاملIron enhances the antituberculous activity of pyrazinamide.
BACKGROUND Pyrazinamide is a paradoxical frontline tuberculosis drug characterized by high in vivo sterilizing activity but poor in vitro activity. This separation in pyrazinamide activity reflects differences between the in vivo tissue environment and in vitro culture conditions. The well-known acid pH requirement for pyrazinamide activity was discovered previously based on such reasoning but ...
