OCH3 CH3O To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness For testing Enterobacteriaceae: Acute E xacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis in Adults of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim oral suspension and other antibacterial drugs, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim oral suspension should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspe...

Several studies have identified thymidine excess in susceptibility test media as the cause of spurious resistance of various bacteria to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. We document the phenomenon in Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi-A and demonstrate its occurrence in 3 of 17 (18%) lots of Mueller-Hinton agars now in use in major medical laboratories in Lima, Peru. The findings are parti...

INTRODUCTION Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an important cause of hospital acquired infection particularly among severely debilitated and immunosuppressed patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of S. maltophilia meningitis in a preterm baby boy after a neurosurgical procedure, successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSION This organism should b...

BACKGROUND Schiff's bases are excellent ligands which are synthesized from the condensation of primary amines with carbonyl groups. FINDINGS The classical reaction for the synthesis of Schiff's bases in an ethanolic solution and glacial acetic acid as a catalyst was followed in the synthesis of substituted sulfamethoxazole compounds. CONCLUSIONS Some Schiff's bases containing sulfamethoxazo...

Our earlier studies had shown that the two pseudomonads, Pseudomonas cepacia and Pseudomonas maltophilia, were organisms that were highly resistant to most antibiotics. The present study was undertaken to determine the susceptibility of these bacteria to trimethoprim and the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination which has been used with apparent success in treating infections caused by thes...

The brine shrimp Artemia, an excellent live food source in aquaculture, has been studied as a carrier to deliver selected chemotherapeutic agents to fish for prophylactic treatment of infectious diseases. To monitor the efficiency of incorporation of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole in Artemia franciscana, a sensitive and specific analytical method was developed. It is based on homogenization ...

This study reveals for the first time that near-anoxic conditions (dissolved oxygen, DO=0.5 mg/L) can be a favorable operating regime for the removal of the persistent micropollutant carbamazepine by MBR treatment. The removal efficiencies of carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole by an MBR were systematically examined and compared under near-anoxic (DO=0.5 mg/L) and aerobic (DO>2 mg/L) conditions....

PURPOSE To determine the effect of long-term intermittent trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole treatment on recurrences of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis. DESIGN Prospective randomized open-labeled interventional clinical trial. METHODS A total of 124 patients with a history of recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis were randomized to treatment with one tablet of trimethoprim (160 mg)/sulfamethoxa...
