Abstract:

Introduction: The use of radiopharmaceuticals is a powerful tool in the management of patients with infectious or inflammatory diseases in nuclear medicine. In this study ofloxacin as a second-generation fluoroquinolone is used to design a desired infection imaging agent after labeling with 99mTc via direct labeling. Methods: Ofloxacin was radiolabeled with 99mTc using different concentrations of ligand, stannous chloride, sodium pertechnetate and at different pH. Then labeling yield, stability in saline and serum, lipophilicity, binding with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and biodistribution in infected mice for labeled compound were studied. Results: The final complex was characterized by TLC and HPLC and radiochemical purity of >90% was obtained when 1.5 mg ofloxacin in presence of 75 µg SnCl2 was labeled with 370 MBq sodium pertechnetate. The complex showed specific binding to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Biodistribution results showed that radioligand had high affinity in the infected site in mice. The uptake for Staphylococcus aureus induced infections (T/NT = 2.33 ± 0.17 at 1 h post injection) was higher than that was for Escherichia coli (T/NT = 1.96 ± 0.13 at 1 h post injection). Conclusion: This complex may lead to further development of a radiotracer for imaging of infections induced by gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria.

Specific Markers of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli VBNC in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Background and purpose: Recent studies suggest that the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria could cause inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to detect and investigate the expression of nuc and rfbE genes in blood samples of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 102 blood samples were collected from patients with RA and univ...

Surveying Contamination Rate of Local Lactic cheese with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes in Gorgan in 2017

Background & Aim: Lactic cheese is traditionally produced from raw milk in some provinces of Iran. Therefore, presence of pathogenic bacteria in these cheeses can be dangerous to human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contamination rate of local lactic cheeses produced in Gorgan with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Methods: Cheese samples we...
