In the title compound, C(8)H(20)N(+)·CHO(3) (-)·3H(2)O, the bicarbon-ate anion, which has a small mean deviation from the plane of 0.0014 Å, fully utilises its three O and one H atom to form various O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the three water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, generating a hydrogen-bonded layer, which extends along (10[Formula: see text]). The tetra-ethyl-ammonium cations, as the...

The title compound, [Ga(H(2)O)(6)](NO(3))(3)·3H(2)O, is isostructural to other known M(III) nitrate hydrates (M = Al, Cr, Fe). The structure contains two distinct octa-hedral Ga(OH(2))(6) units (each of symmetry) which are involved in inter-molecular hydrogen bonding with the three nitrate anions and three water mol-ecules within the asymmetric unit.

The recommended treatment for gonorrhoea in the United Kingdom has, until recently, included the fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin, which consequently was used by most genitourinary medicine clinics. In 2002 national surveillance data showed that resistance to ciprofloxacin had risen to a prevalence of 9.8% (9% in 2003), indicating that the target of >95% efficacy in first line therapy was no long...

BACKGROUND Growth of drug resistance is related to number of microbial characteristics, selective pressure by antibiotic use and social and technical vicissitudes that enhance the transmission of antibiotic resistant organisms. The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial-resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from children in Shahid Sadoughi hospital of Yazd. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

The effect on the recurrence of gastric ulcers after suppression of Helicobacter pylori by combined treatment with cimetidine and the antimicrobial drug cefixime was investigated. Twenty one of 43 patients with endoscopically proved gastric ulcer and H pylori infection were randomly assigned to receive cimetidine 800 mg daily for 12 weeks; the remaining 22 patients received cimetidine 800 mg da...

BACKGROUND Recent WHO guidelines recommend dual therapy with ceftriaxone or cefixime plus azithromycin for gonorrhea. Azithromycin in combination with gentamicin or spectinomycin has been recommended in treatment failure cases. Due to emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, it is important to look for efficacy of these combinat...

In the present economic climate, it is increasingly necessary to ensure the cost-effectiveness of all aspects of healthcare. The expenditure on medications in a hospital is largely determined by the workload and throughput, but efforts to rationalise the use of medications will result in benefits both in patient care and overall costs. The purpose of this report is to discuss the advantages o...

In a study of 58 patients the concentrations of cefixime, a new oral cephem antibiotic, in bronchial mucosa were 35-40% of the concentrations found in simultaneously collected serum samples. The antibiotic was often undetectable in sputum despite a highly sensitive assay.

A series of new 7j5-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido]cephalosporins (1) having various substituted-vinylthio groups at the C-3 position of the cephem nucleus was synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity and oral absorption in rats in comparison with cefixime. Of these, the cephalosporins (la and lc) with a lower alkoxycarbonylvinylthio group (Z-form) at ...

cefixime is essential member of orally energetic third generation cephalosporin and has tremendous activity aligned with many pathogens. the virtual bioavailability of a newly industrial dispersible tablet as compared with a recognized identified formulation. a simple and available reversed-phase hplc method with uv detection has been urbanized and validate for cefixime evaluate in human plasma ...
