purpose: to investigate the penetration of cefixime, cephalexin and ciprofloxacin into the human eye based on microbial inhibition by human aqueous samples after oral administration. method: sixty patients aged 40 to 75 years who were scheduled for cataract surgery were divided into three equal groups. one group received 500 mg oral ciprofloxacin 24, 12 and 2 hours preoperatively; another group...

INTRODUCTION: Antibiotics as prophylactic agents are routinely administered into the human intervertebral discs via intravenous injection in order to prevent disc infection [1]. Successful intervention however requires that the drug reaches adequate inhibitory concentration levels throughout the disc. In this study and in continuation of our earlier works, the penetration time-history of antibi...

Introduction: Staphylococcus is a genus of pathogenic bacteria, which asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract of the human. The incidence of invasive Staphylococcal infections and the disease burden are high among children in South Asia, including Pakistan. This study aims to determine the nasal colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus species isola...

Aeromonas hydrophila was obtained from various sources and identified on the basis of growth on selective media, phenotypic and biochemical characters. The isolates (Ah1-Ah9) were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility and resistance pattern tests. The isolates showing maximum resistance to most of the commercial antibiotic discs used were selected. The selected isolate (Ah7) was further subjec...

In today’s medical world, antibiotic toxicity and multidrug resistant pathogens are the two greatest challenges which require immediate attention. In the present study, the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of spices have been investigated. The antibacterial activity of eight common Indian spices was analyzed against nine clinical pathogenic bacteria by Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion method an...

The aim of this study has been to estimate that the number bacteria in mouth exceeds total people on planet. In context, scientists have discovered more than 700 different types human oral bacteria. With such a large present, many diseases may threaten health, especially can emerge. For reason, was employed and conducted 252 healthy Soran area city Erbil. Both sexes were involved ages selected....
