Postantibiotic effect assessments for antibiotics exhibiting a wide range of bactericidal activities by using a modified total-cell-counting method.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We recently described a total-cell-counting method for postantibiotic effect (PAE) assessments that performs well with weakly bactericidal antibiotics. This note presents a modified method for the study of PAE with extended capability to cover a broad range of bactericidal activities.

Studies of the killing kinetics of benzylpenicillin, cefuroxime, azithromycin, and sparfloxacin on bacteria in the postantibiotic phase.
Most antibiotics are known to be incapable of killing nongrowing or slowly growing bacteria with few exceptions. Bacterial cell division is inhibited during the postantibiotic phase (PA phase) after short exposure to antibiotics. Only scarce and conflicting data are available concerning the ability of antibiotics to kill bacteria in the PA phase. The aim of the present study was to investigate ...

In this research, Zn2SnO4 nanorods were prepared and structural properties of the nanorods were characterized, developing of wide-range of the optical behavior of Zn2SnO4 nanorods and the antibacterial activity was also investigated using a microwave-assisted method. A zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4) nanorod was synthesized via facile microwave-assisted method using ammonia with cubic spinel structure....
متن کاملComparative evaluation of antibacterial effect and compressive strength of resin-modified glass-ionomer containing different antibiotics
Background and Aims: Nowadays, new techniques are used to control dental caries that have the ability to kill cariogenic bacteria. Recently, the addition of antibiotics to glass ionomers has been proposed to reduce the overall number of saliva bacteria. The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effect and compressive strength of resin- modified glass ionomer (RMGI) containing diffe...

Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that can cause a range of infections. Methicillin resistance in these bacteria is often in companion with resistance to multiple antibiotics. High prevalence of these isolates can cause treatment failure. Phosphomycin is a Peptidoglycan biosynthesis inhibitor that is used in treating of infections caused by multi-drug resistant...
