background the cause of death in burn patients after 48 hours of hospitalization has been reported to be bacterial infections. recently, due to the compounds accelerating the healing process and the intense reduction of treatment side effects, medicinal plants are used to cure burn wound infections. this study aims to investigate the medicinal effect of the ethanolic extract of scrophularia str...

The genus Aeromonas is ubiquitous in aquatic environments encompassing a broad range of fish and human pathogens. Aeromonas strains are known for their enhanced capacity to acquire and exchange antibiotic resistance genes and therefore, are frequently targeted as indicator bacteria for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments. This study evaluated temporal trends in Aeromonas...

A review of the periodical literature relating to burn topical antibacterial agents as listed in the Cumulated Index Medicus from January 1, 1965, through November 30, 1992, as well as bound volumes and unpublished material reveals that the optimal dose and mode of deployment of 1% silver sulfadiazine cream in burn wound therapy have not been fully defined. Defining these should provide better ...

A total of 60 clinical isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were tested for susceptibility to sulfadiazine and sulfadimethoxyne by the agar dilution technique. A modification of the Mueller-Hinton medium was devised which gave good growth of the yeast form. The minimum inhibitory concentrations for only 51.6% of the isolates were in the range of the recommended blood serum concentration (5...

Simultaneous degradation of sulfadiazine, naproxen, diclofenac, ketoprofen and ibuprofen from drinking water was investigated by different technologies including photolysis, electrooxidation, photo-electrooxidation, zero-valent iron their combinations. All oxidation were very effective for the all drugs under anoxic conditions efficiency decreased oxic conditions. Results also revealed that can...

In order to improve local therapeutic techniques for the massively burnt patients and to minimize the pain associated with dressing change, the concept of topical film was utilized to formulate a topical antimicrobial spray. The commonly used topical antimicrobial silver sulfadiazine spray was formulated as a new drug delivery system. The release of therapeutic agents in vitro from medicated sp...

The inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of electrically generated silver ions were 10 to 100 times lower than for silver sulfadiazine. Effects on normal mammalian cells were minimal.
