In Vitro Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) Study of Cefixime and Azithromycin Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) Against Respiratory Clinical Isolates.
INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory infections (ARI) contribute to more than 75% of health care seeking in primary health care facilities in India. Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are managed frequently by β-lactam, macrolide and fluroquinolone class of antibiotics. However, these recommended classes of antibiotic have shown resistance in community settings. Antibiotic combinations may provide b...
متن کاملEffectiveness of RHZE-FDC (fixed-dose combination) compared to RH-FDC + Z for tuberculosis treatment in Brazil: a cohort study
BACKGROUND In 2009, Brazil was the sole high-burden country to use three drugs [rifampin (R), isoniazid (H) and pyrazinamide (Z)] as the standard treatment for sensitive tuberculosis, with RH in fixed-dose combination (FDC). In December 2009, the country has adopted the FDC four-drug regimen including ethambutol (E). The rationale was the expectation to reduce default and resistance rates, by i...
متن کاملEffect of fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs on development of clinical antimicrobial resistance: a review paper
The emergence of previously unreported infectious diseases, the re‐emergence of infectious disease thought to have been on the way to elimination, and the rapid evolution of infectious pathogens exhibiting antimicrobial resistance (“AMR”) and in particular, multiple‐drug resistance (“MDR”) have created a major clinical and public health threat of global dimensions. The idea that AMR can be del...
متن کاملDose optimization of ceftriaxone-vancomycin combination using fractional inhibitory concentration kinetics in resistant bacteria
The notorious Staphylococcus aureus resistant strains with ever changing resistance patterns have limited treatment options and have led to substantial number of deaths. Almost dried antibiotic pipeline has led us to look into combinations of already approved antibiotics for tackling rising incidence of antibacterial resistance. Recommended use of vancomycin and ceftriaxone together for treatin...
متن کاملEffect of fixed-dose combination (FDC) medications on adherence and treatment outcomes
Low adherence to prescribed self‐administered medication is well documented and particularly problematic in the treatment of chronic or asymptomatic conditions1 2. Even in affluent countries with well developed health care infrastructure adherence to long‐term therapy is estimated to average only 50%3. The implications of poor adherence are substantial at both the individual and population lev...
