Reports on the isolation of amoxicillin-resistant Helicobacter pylori are increasing worldwide, which may cause serious problems in eradication therapy. To elucidate the mechanism of amoxicillin resistance of H. pylori, penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of amoxicillin-resistant strains isolated in Korea were analysed. Three PBPs (66, 63 and 60 kDa) were identified in both amoxicillin-resistant...

Twenty-two adult patients with urinary tract infections caused by penicillin-resistant bacteria completed treatment with amoxicillin alone or amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid in a randomized double-blind clinical trial. Of the 13 patients treated with amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid, the absence of bacteriuria within 7 days of therapy was observed in 85%, as compared with only 25% of the 8 pat...

Acne is one of the most common skin pathologies; causes Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic and gram-positive microorganism that lives in hair follicles currently presents resistance to antibiotic-based treatments; this research topic has purpose evaluating antibiotic activity Cannabidiol oil against Staphylococcus aureus epidermidis level toxicity Artemia salina. For methodology, antibiogram...

Eighty-eight female patients with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections were treated according to a randomization scheme with either 1 g of cephradine every 12 h (47 patients) or 375 mg of amoxicillin-clavulanate every 8 h (41 patients) for 7 days. The treatments were equally effective (cure rates of 89% for cephradine and 88% for amoxicillin-clavulanate) and showed similar relapse ra...

conclusions: the result of our study showed that using clarithromycin, amoxicillin and omeprazole for treatment of h. pylori infection can be useful. it is concluded from lower levels of igg and caga in blood and h. pylori antigen in stool after treatment compared to the amount of these factors before therapy. considering all these data, it is obvious that there is an urgent need to found a bet...

the pharmacokinetic properties of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid when used alone or in combination may be different and show interaction between these two agents that might decrease the absolute bioavailability of clavulanic acid. in an open, randomized, replicated latin square under fasting condition, pharmacokinetics of new formulations of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid were compared with a ref...
