BACKGROUND AND METHODS A dual (immediate/sustained-release) oral amoxicillin suspension was developed as a new dosage form to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. Carbopol®-loaded amoxicillin nanospheres could bind with the mucosa after delivery to the stomach and could increase the efficiency of the drug, providing both an immediate and a sustained action. RESULTS The objective of this research wa...

INTRODUCTION In group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis a ten-day course of amoxicillin is recommended. However, short-course treatments seem to be equally effective. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate and compare the outcome of patients treated with 7-day course and 10-day course of amoxicillin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of all GAS pharyngitis admitted t...

Salmonella spp and Escherichia coli are the two most important food-borne pathogens of public health interest incriminated in poultry meat worldwide. This study is to access their levels in frozen poultry meat obtained in Ibadan, Oyo State and compare those obtained from a commercial Nigerian-registered poultry company having a broiler-processing plant, Sayed Farms Ltd(R), with that obtained fr...

BACKGROUND Plant extracts were evaluated on poultry bacteria known to be threatening public health. This is to develop better bio-therapeutic agents from plant origin. METHODS Bacteria were isolated from water, feed, crop, gizzard and faeces of layer chicken. Isolates of interest (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella oxytoca) were subjected to antibi...

The production of indole acetic acid (IAA) is a significant property rhizospheric bacteria to stimulate and promote plant growth. In this investigation, acid-producing from the rhizosphere five distinct plants (Wheat, Gulchen, Rose, Lady Finger, Bouginvella) were isolated characterized. Bacterial strains identified by morphological characterization. Out 30 bacterial isolates, 5 isolates selecte...

The aim of the study was to investigate the bacterial species from root canal infection (before and after) filled teeth and evaluate susceptibility to antibiotics, antimicrobial agents and plant extracted from ginger (Zingiber officinale).Thirty-three adult patients with symptoms of root canal infection was receiving at the outpatient clinic, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cai...

Abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) bacterial infection is the next pandemic waiting behind COVID-19 with annual mortality rate 700000 worldwide. Among MDR bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecium and faecalis are showing average of 50 to 80% ampicillin, amoxicillin, third-generation cephalos...

background & aims of the study: antibiotics utilize with the aim of improving human, animal and plant health; also, for treating infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. when these compounds introduce into ecosystems, could affect the microbial community and jeopardize human health. therefore, the aim of present study is to determination of the presence of six common utilized antibiotics (amox...

OBJECTIVE Antimicrobial agents in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs have been usually prescribed in both Medicine and Dentistry. However, few scientific reports support this clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of betamethasone and diclofenac sodium on serum and tissue concentration of amoxicillin in rats. METHODS Four polyurethane sponges were implanted ...
