BACKGROUND Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often treated with antibiotics. Theoretically, to be maximally effective, the antibiotic concentration at sites of infection should exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration at which 90% of the growth of potential pathogens is inhibited (MIC90). A previous study showed that most hospitalized COPD patients had s...

background: amoxicillin is widely used as an antibiotic in the modern medicine. due to its chemical structure, polarity, activity level, antibiotic specifications, and environmental sustainability, amoxicillin leaks into the groundwater, surface waters, and drinking water wells. many physical and chemical methods have been suggested for removing amoxicillin from aquatic environments. however, t...

A new compound granular premix of amoxicillin (20% w/w dry mass)/apramycin (5% w/w dry mass) was developed, and its pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability were determined in pigs following oral administration following a cross-over study design. The pharmacokinetic parameters of amoxicillin (t1/2λ = 6.43 ± 4.85h, Cmax = 3.2 ± 1.35 μg·mL-1, Tmax = 1.92 ± 0.58, AUCINF = 8.98 ± 2.11 h·μg·mL...

In an attempt to better understand the interaction of amoxicillin with Streptococcus pneumoniae in the lung, and to determine the parameters of therapeutic efficacy of the antimicrobial agent amoxicillin, we used a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model to describe the overall dose-effect relationship of amoxicillin against 12 strains of S. pneumoniae with penicillin minimum inhibitory concentra...

and cause health and environmental effects. this study investigates the optimization of the parameters affecting the advanced oxidation process fenton for improving toc removal from aqueous solution includes amoxicillin antibiotic by using taguchi experimental design. methods: in this study for evaluation the effect of factors and determination optimal conditions to removal toc by fenton proces...

background helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. it colonizes about 50-60% of the world’s population. the estimated prevalence of h. pylori infection is approximately 65% in iran. objectives the aim of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance of h. pylori to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin. materials an...

background the evidence of rapid spread of multidrug resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis (mdr–tb) strains especially in high risk communities, persuade clinicians to find new drugs for this problem. β– lactams with few or no side effects has been reviewed as an alternative drugs for this issue. this study carried out to determine the effectiveness of amoxicillin–clavulanate in a group of irani...

DESCRIPTION Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium is an oral antibacterial combination consisting of the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin and the β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The amoxicillin molecular formula is C16H19N3O5S•3H2O, a...

in this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite (ba-α-bi2o3-γ-fe2o3) was successfully synthesized through a combination of ultrasound and co-precipitation method under mild conditions. the structure of the synthesized nano-composite as a visible light photocatalyst was investigated by the xrd, tem, hrtem, uv-vis and ft-ir. the hrtem confirmed that the nano-magnetic composites are rods with diamet...

Amoxicillin when administered with gastric acid suppressors has been shown to be effective in eradication of Helicobacter pylori in 50 to 80% of subjects. The aim of this investigator-blind crossover study was to determine if gastric mucosal amoxicillin uptake was affected by increasing gastric juice pH. Fifteen male subjects (7 H. pylori positive and 8 H. pylori negative) were randomized to re...
