Amoxicillin, an antibiotic that is widely prescribed for various infections, is associated with a very low rate of drug-induced liver injury; hepatitis and cholestasis are rare complications. Here we present a case of a 39-year-old woman who was diagnosed with abdominal actinomycosis and received amoxicillin treatment. The patient displayed hepatocellular and bile-duct injury, in addition to el...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the setting time and post-setting solubility, flow, film thickness and dimensional changes of AH26 root canal sealer with AH26-Antibiotic combination. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed according to British standard BS 6876 (2001) which tests the physicochemical properties of endodontic sealers. Three samples of each of tested ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS A worldwide increase in amoxicillin resistance in Helicobacter pylori is having an adverse effect on eradication therapy. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the amoxicillin resistance of H. pylori in terms of amino acid substitutions in penicillin-binding protein 1 (PBP1). METHODS In total, 150 H. pylori strains were isolated from 144 patients with chronic gastrit...

DESCRIPTION AUGMENTIN 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, and the molecular weight ...

An in vitro model simulating amoxicillin and cefotaxime concentrations in human serum (after standard doses) was used to explore the activities of these drugs over time against penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains. An initial inoculum reduction percentage of > or = 90% was obtained with amoxicillin and maintained for 2 to 8 h, regardless of the strain...

materials and methods in this study, biodegradation of amoxicillin by baf was evaluated in the aquatic environment. in order to assess amoxicillin removal from the aquatic environment, this bioreactor was fed with synthetic wastewater at four amoxicillin concentration levels and three hrts. results the results showed that maximum amoxicillin and chemical oxygen demand (cod) removals by aerated ...

UNLABELLED Amoxicillin is an antibiotic widely prescribed; its most frequent side effects are gastrointestinal disorders and hypersensitivity reactions. Over the last 10 years studies have been published which suggest that amoxicillin may cause dental alterations similar to dental fluorosis. Never the less, the results are not conclusive, this is why it was planned the need to make controlled s...

Separation of amoxicillin from pharmaceutical wastewater by nanofiltration (NF) membrane has been investigated in this study. For this purpose a membrane system including a polyamide spiral wound NF membrane was evaluated for the treatment of amoxicillin wastewater. The effects of operating conditions such as flow rate, pressure and concentration of amoxicillin and COD in the feed, on the effic...

The comparative efficacies of amoxicillin and cefuroxime against acute otitis media caused by a penicillin-resistant (MIC, 2 micrograms/ml) Streptococcus pneumoniae strain were assessed in a gerbil model by challenging each ear with 10(7) bacteria through transbullar instillation. Each antibiotic was tested at two doses (5 and 20 mg/kg of body weight) administered at 2, 10, and 18 h postinocula...
