activated sludge is an aerobic biological wastewater treatment process. this process has been efficiently and extensively used for the treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters since about 100 years ago. some drugs such as antibiotics have adverse effects on the bacteria in activated sludge. cefixime trihydrate is a semi-synthetic antibiotic belonging to the third generation of cephalos...

A culture method to detect non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) was optimized in this study. The finished dairy compost with 30% moisture content was inoculated with a cocktail of six non-O157 STEC serovars at initial concentrations of 1 to 100 CFU/g. Afterward, non-O157 STEC cells in the inoculated dairy compost were enriched by four methods, followed by plating onto cefixime...

Cefixime is a third generation broad spectrum cephalosporin used against many strains of bacteria. It is widely used in oral formulations as suspension and tablets. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed for oral use in many clinical conditions along with cefixime. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of interaction between cefixime and NSAIDs...

Interaction studies in dogs have indicated that antacids significantly decrease the oral bioavailability of cefixime. Twelve healthy adult male volunteers participated in a randomized, four-way crossover trial to evaluate the influence of an aluminum-magnesium antacid (Maalox; 20 ml) on the pharmacokinetics of cefixime (400 mg). Regimens were (i) cefixime alone; (ii) cefixime simultaneous with ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a tricarboxylic acid, has attracted attention as a growth factor, and its application to supplements and cosmetics is underway. The product used for these purposes is a water-soluble salt of PQQ disodium. Although in the past, PQQ disodiumpentahydrates with a high water concentration were used, currently, low hydration crystals of PQQ dis...
