The hospital's EHR system generated a daily list of patients with a history of penicillin allergy who were on second-line options--vancomycin, daptomycin, aztreonam, linezolid, or moxifloxacin--for infections that would be better treated with
beta-lactam antibiotics.
MRSA and related resistant bacteria can withstand a group of antibiotics called
beta-lactams, which includes penicillin and methicillin.
These bacteria are resistant to
beta-lactam antibiotics, such as methicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin, and oxacillin.
A recent study looked at whether additional community-associated MRSA coverage with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in addition to
beta-lactam therapy for cellulitis showed any benefit over therapy with only a
beta-lactam (Clin.
The sample prep protocols incorporated into the MaxSignal
Beta-Lactam ELISA Test Kit are inexpensive and fast, and offer high recovery rates.
Continuous infusion of
beta-lactam antibiotics in severe sepsis: A multicenter double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
We have seen truly impressive bacterial eradication in highly resistant strains generated by combination of this beta-lactamase inhibitor with existing
beta-lactam antibiotics," commented Christopher G.
The Enterome microbiome study, scheduled for completion in the second half of 2014, is expected to provide a better understanding of the harmful effects of
beta-lactam antibiotics on the gut bacterial community.
In addition, later generations of
beta-lactam antibiotics have broader spectrums of activity, which may obviate any benefit offered by adding aminoglycosides.
The acquisition includes Orchid's
beta-lactam antibiotics manufacturing complex (comprising Cephalosporin, Penicillin and Carbapenem facilities), pharmaceutical research and development facility at Irungattukottai, Chennai and its generic injectable product portfolio and pipeline.
It is a common structural element of the penicillins, their synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives, and other related molecules that constitute the broad family of drugs called the
beta-lactam antibiotics.
The
beta-lactam antibiotics tested are effective for the total elimination of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in indica rice calli (variety J-104), and do not interfere negatively in callus growth and plant regeneration.
