چکیده

Some of the most frequently used antibiotics in apiculture for the treatment of bacterial brood diseases are oxytetracycline, chloramphenicol, sulphathiazole and streptomycin. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the degradation kinetics of the residua these antibiotics leave behind in different types of honey stored in dark at 25 °C. The examined honey samples (N=74) originating from the Croatian market had satisfactory physicochemical properties and pollen characteristics. Quantitative analyses of antibiotic residues were done using HPLC and ELISA methods. No antibiotic residues were found in any of the tested acacia, chestnut, floral, meadow and honeydew honey samples (N=74). In the next step, each of the tested honey samples was supplemented with one of the following antibiotics (in mg/kg): oxytetracycline 10, chloramphenicol 200, sulphathiazole 200 or streptomycin 0.5. Relatively high mass fractions of antibiotics have been added to the honey because the stability of each antibiotic is highly dependent on the spiked antibiotic mass fraction and also on its chemical structure. During a 6-month storage in the dark at 25 °C, the dynamics of degradation of the studied antibiotics was proven to differ dependent on the type of honey into which the antibiotic was added. The half-life of oxytetracycline in the acacia, floral, meadow and honeydew honey stored in the dark at 25 °C was 15, 16, 17 and 19 days, respectively, while in the chestnut honey the decomposition failed to be seen even after 60 days of storage. In all examined honey samples, the half-life of chloramphenicol and sulphathiazole was proven to be longer than 6 months. The fastest decomposition was seen of oxytetracycline added into the acacia honey, followed by streptomycin and sulphathiazole added into the same, while the longest decomposition delay was seen when chloramphenicol was added into the floral honey. According to the results obtained using a linear model of degradation kinetics, the longest oxytetracycline degradation was expected to occur in chestnut honey (116 days). Chloramphenicol and sulphathiazole are preserved the longest in floral (for 661 and 581 days, respectively) and streptomycin in meadow honey (for 321 days).

Treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis.

With the increasing incidence of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), its treatment has assumed greater importance. The aetiology of NGU is far from clear but probably includes different factors; hence, it is not surprising that the response to treatment is so variable. The clinical picture in NGU also varies widely in severity. The mildest cases are sometimes difficult to distinguish from gonophob...

Quantitative Analysis of Oxytetracycline Residues in Honey by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

In this study, a simple, sensitive, selective and precise HPLC method is developed for the determination of oxytetracycline in bulk and honey samples. Separation of oxytetracycline was achieved on a Kromosil C18 analytical column (250 mm × 4.6 mm I.D., 5 μm particle size). The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and water (85:15 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. The method was linear in...

Oxytetracycline Residues in Honey Analyzed by Liquid Chromatography with Uv Detection

American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood (EFB) are destructive, infectious bacterial diseases in honeybees (Apis melifera), which can severely decrease the honey bee population and honey production (Gojmerac, 1980). American foulbrood spores are highly-resistant and can remain vital in combs and honey for many years. To control outbreaks of these infections in honeybee colonies, tetracyc...

Multiple antibiotic resistance profiles of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139.

In this study, the patterns of resistance to 10 antibiotics by 730 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139 species isolated from both environmental and seafood samples were investigated. Susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents was assessed by the disc diffusion technique. The frequencies of resistance to 10 antimicrobial agents--ampicillin, chloramphenicol, bacitracin, erythromycin, gentam...
