Abstract:

A novel strategy in medicinal chemistry to increase the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the side effects of separate medications is the creation of mutual prodrugs. The production and pharmacological assessment of a mutual prodrug including the broad-spectrum antibiotic class fluoroquinolones and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) mefenamic acid are the main topics of this paper. The justification for this combination is its ability to reduce the gastrointestinal and other systemic side effects that are frequently linked to NSAIDs and fluoroquinolones, while also potentially enhan

The development of mutual prodrugs is an innovative approach in medicinal chemistry aimed at enhancing the therapeutic efficacy and minimizing the adverse effects of individual drugs. This review focuses on the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a mutual prodrug combining mefenamic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and fluoroquinolones, a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The rationale behind this combination stems from the potential to synergistically enhance anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities while reducing the gastrointestinal and other systemic si

Abstract:

A rise in Multidrug resistant causing ventilator-associated respiratory infections (VARIs) is posing a therapeutic challenge for physicians and diagnosticians worldwide. Timely detection and reporting of these robust multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens would be useful in not only guiding an appropriate empirical therapy but also in controlling the spread of these drug resistant strains in the ICUs and hospital. : To detect in Endotracheal secretions of suspected cases of Ventilator-associated respiratory infections (VARIs) and report the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern for the same. : Observ

Abstract:

Cross-resistance occurs between antimicrobials with either similar mechanisms of action and/or similar chemical structures, or even between unrelated antimicrobials. This study employed a multivariate approach to investigate the associations between the efficacy profile of antimicrobials and the clustering of eleven different antimicrobial agents based on their efficacy profile. Records of the susceptibility of 382 confirmed Staphylococcus species isolates against 15 antimicrobials based on the disc diffusion method were included in this study. Tetrachoric correlation coefficients were compute

Abstract:

bapAb-associated biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii enhances the virulence properties and highly influences the pattern of drug susceptibility among hospitalized patients. This study thus aims to molecularly characterize bapAb gene and to evaluate its co-occurrence among the multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of A. baumannii. Semi-quantitative adherent bioassay was performed to detect the biofilm formation by 73 MDR strains of A. baumannii. Genomic DNA was further extracted and screened for bapAb by PCR followed by sequencing of the amplicons from representative strains. Pearson corre

Background: Antimicrobial agents are most commonly prescribed drug and share major cost of the treatment. Excessive and inappropriate use of antimicrobial has become a global problem, resulting not only in substantial economic burden on healthcare system but also in contributing to the selective pressure favoring the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Antimicrobial agents which one uses for prophylactic, empiric and therapeutic purposes, depends upon the local epidemiology of infectious diseases, microbiology and resistance pattern as well as local clinical experience.
