CONTEXT The high prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and other antimicrobials among Escherichia coli causing acute cystitis in women has led to increased use of alternative antibiotics. One such antibiotic, amoxicillin-clavulanate, has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a 3-day regimen of amoxicillin-clavulanate to that of a 3-day regimen of cipr...

BACKGROUND Prophylactic use of amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, although controversial, is common in routine clinical practice in third molar surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our objective was to assess the efficacy of prophylactic amoxicillin with or without clavulanic acid in reducing the incidence of dry socket and/or infection after third molar extraction. We conducted a systemat...

BACKGROUND/AIM Quantitative analysis of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in biological matrices requires sensitive and specific methods which allow determination of therapeutic concentration in 1 g/mL range. Analytical methods for determination of their concentrations in body fluids described in literature include high performance liquid chromatography coupled to UV detector (HPLC-UV) and liquid...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal infections with pathogenic Helicobacter species are commonly treated with combination therapies, which often include amoxicillin. Although this treatment is effective for eradication of Helicobacter pylori, the few existing reports are less clear about antibiotic susceptibility of other Helicobacter species. In this study we have determined the susceptibility of gast...

Two dosages of a liquid suspension formulation of amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate were tested in 34 infants and children. The smaller dosage resulted in suboptimal plasma concentrations. With a greater dosage (3.3 mg of clavulanate per kg and 13.3 mg of amoxicillin per kg), the mean peak plasma concentrations were 1.6 micrograms clavulanic acid per ml and 4.9 micrograms amoxicillin per ml.

BACKGROUND It has been speculated that amoxicillin use could be associated with dental enamel defects. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between dental fluorosis, one of the most common developmental tooth enamel defects, and amoxicillin use during early childhood. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS As participants in the Iowa Fluoride Study, subjects were followed up from birth to 32 mont...

A fairly comprehensive review of the psychophysiology of schizophrenia has recently been presented by Venables (1975); however, the opportunity offered here to write a somewhat more idiosyncratic review of work on the autonomic physiology of schizophrenia provides the chance of looking in as wide a context as possible at some areas of research that appear to have provided a certain degree of co...

background and aim: bacterial elimination from root canal system is one of the aims in endodontic treatments, so the addition of antibiotics to sealers can increase their antimicrobial efficacy, as in this study we are determining the in-vitro antimicrobial effect of ah26 and ah plus sealers mixed with amoxicillin, triple antibiotic pastes and nanosilver on enterococcus faecalis. materials and ...

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 ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the use of amoxicillin (1g) vs amoxicillin and clavulanate (875/125mg) after extraction of retained third molars for prevention of infectious complications. STUDY DESIGN The study involved 546 patients attending for removal a retained third molar and divided in to two groups: Group 1 - amoxicillin and clavunate (875/125mg) group (n=257) and G...
