The enzymic inactivation of cephamycins, i.e. cefoxitin, cefmetazole, cefotetan and cefbuperazone, was investigated by means of bioassay, high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric analysis using three types of cephalosporinase (CSase, RICHMOND type Ia, Ib and Ic) and one penicillinase (PCase, TEM type). These four cephamycins were not inactivated by Ic CSase and TEM type...

In the previous paper1), we reported the comparative study of the enzymatic and physicochemical properties of a novel 3-lactamase produced by Bacteroides fragilis G-237 with those of a typical B. fragilis /3-lactamase produced by B. fragilis G-242. The enzyme produced by B. fragilis G-237 showed a unique substrate profile in hydrolyzing cephalosporins including 7amethoxycephalosporins, penicill...

spending costs in construction of road pavements has turned this subject into one of the significant points in transportation infrastructure of countries. concrete slabs consider as a paving method with ability of reducing the rehabilitation needs. therefore, to manage costs and optimize the thickness of concrete pavements, recognizing the amount of determinative factors’ influence will be requ...

The prevalence of staphylococci that harbor the mecA gene responsible for methicillin resistance was examined in healthy breeding mares. Staphylococci often cause diseases of horses such as metritis, keratitis, and abscess. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci would make antibiotic treatments ineffective, so it may be significant to know the distribution of mecA-harboring staphylococci in mares....

PURPOSE The main objective of this study was to compare the effect of two anaesthetic techniques (general vs combined) on plasma levels of NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin) after robotic urogenital oncosurgery. The secondary objective was to correlate NGAL levels with the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS This was a longitudinal prospective study. Forty patients ...
