Quinolone

Gaurav et al. have demonstrated the efficacy of mefloquine in diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications through measuring various parameters. However, mefloquine doesn’t impart noticeable protection against diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications except glycemic index, TBARS and protein carbonyl content. Moreover, it is well known that oxidative stress was higher in diabetes condition which was observed by decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme levels in the present study…

Chlortetracycline，chloramphenicol，nystatin，erythromycin，and kanamycin in succession. In this decades, human entered antibiotic age that we began to apply antibiotic to clinical use widely. In 1956, Vancomycin was used for Gram-positive bacterial infection. Since 1980’s, quinolones developed sharply because it was seldom affected by the bacteria…

Bacteria are single celled organisms which thrive in a wide range of environments. For example they can live in soil, the ocean and the human and animal gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria are also able to live in extreme environments such as the harsh cold and some deserts. Bacteria can be harmful, resulting in serious health issues such as pneumonia. (Bacteria, n.d.)However they can also be very beneficial. Certain bacteria aid in digestion and other processes in the human body. There are two…

(“The History of Antibiotics”). Also, many other types of antibiotics have been discovered that can battle infections that penicillin can’t, all because doctors started to look for antibacterial properties in other things in nature. These include quinolones, which treat infections when other antibiotics haven’t worked, carbapenems, which treat moderate to life threatening infections, and tetracyclines, which are broad spectrum and treat many infections like acne, UTI’s, and STD’s (Anderson).…

Mr. Borg is currently taking moxifloxacin 400 mg qd x 7 days for … This medication is a quinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections and preventing their growth (Moxifloxacin (Oral Route), 2015). Multivitamin Mr. Borg takes a multivitamin, 1 po daily, to help maintain a healthy immune system and provide needed vitamins that are not…

This increase in resistance has spread rapidly and has far reaching effects. For instance, quinolone antibiotics are not found in nature; yet, three decades after their deployment against infections, resistance to this class of antibiotics can be found across the globe.2 Such resistance has deleterious effects on the quality and cost of health care…

Case Summary, including Signs and Symptoms This case study aimed to shed light on the importance of rapid detection of microorganisms using an efficient technological development, Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, Time-of-flight and Mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The case involved a 54 year old Asian male who had received a living-donor kidney transplant 14 years ago due to IgA nephropathy. Signs and symptoms included, fever, multifocal cellulitis, bacteremia, swelling and…

Sterile Ointments Ointments are semisolids expected for external application to the skin or mucous layers. They typically contain lower than 20% water and volatiles and more than 50% hydrocarbons, waxes, or polyols as the vehicle. Ointment bases known for use as vehicles fall into four general classes: hydrocarbon bases, absorption bases, water-removable bases, and water-soluble bases. Each therapeutic ointment has its base one of these four general classes. • Hydrocarbon Bases: They are…

Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram negative coccobacilli bacteria. It is an aerobic Glucose non-fermentative and oxidase negative. This bacterium is able to avoid desiccation for more than 30 days. It can be Opportunistic pathogen in human and It is commonly isolated from the hospital environment and hospitalized patients causing nosocomial infection [1]. This bacterium is responsible for causing several diseases in human such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, Meningitis, wound infection,…

Introduction: The name Pseudomonas is derived from the greek and latin words which means “false unit“ (pseudo = false, greek; monas = single unit, latin). “Monas” was used in the early history of microbiology to define single-celled organisms. In 1786 Otto Friedrich Müller, from Copenhagen, classified the bacteria and named the pseudomonads, they came into the group of vibriones (which was defined as group of shaking bacteria). Many years later it was detected that Pseudomonas are motile. They…
