Comparative evaluation of anti microbial effects of triple antibiotic paste and amox and its derivatives against E. Faecalis : an in vitro study
2017
Background Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism commonly detected in asymptomatic, persistent endodontic infections. Triple antibiotic paste has stood the test of time as a proven antibiotic combination against E. Faecalis. However, problems with this include staining of teeth and standardization of the preparation. Thus, the search for better alternatives and better preparation techniques is still on. Aim To observe the potential of combinations [(Amoxicillin+ Metronidazole, Amoxicillin Clavulanic Acid + Metronidazole; Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin + Metronidazole)] over Triple Antibiotic Paste. Material and methods Fifty single rooted teeth free from dental caries were selected for the …
High resistance against clindamycin, metronidazole and amoxicillin in Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans isolates of …
2010
Objectives: To test the antimicrobial sensitivity of two periodontal pathogens to a panel of five orally administrable antibiotics in periodontal disease. Study design: A total of 69 isolates of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis were processed using culture and biochemical tests. Selected colonies of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of clindamycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, moxifloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Results: Susceptibility testing revealed a sensitivity of 100% of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis to moxifloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid but moderate susceptibili…
Taxonomical and Functional Assessment of the Endometrial Microbiota in A Context of Recurrent Reproductive Failure: A Case Report
2019
Investigation of the microbial community in the female reproductive tract has revealed that the replacement of a community dominated by Lactobacillus with pathogenic bacteria may be associated with implantation failure or early spontaneous abortion in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. Herein we describe taxonomically and functionally the endometrial microbiome of an infertile patient with repeated reproductive failures (involving an ectopic pregnancy and two clinical miscarriages). The microbiological follow-up is presented over 18-month in which the microbiota was evaluated in six endometrial fluid samples. The microbial profile of 16S rRNA gene sequenci…

Vulvar involvement in pediatric Crohnâs disease: a systematic review
2018
Purpose: The aim of the study is to report a systematic review (from 2000 to 2017) of all pediatric cases of vulvar Crohnâs disease (VCD) and to highlight the key-points for a correct diagnosis and management of this rare condition. Methods: An electronic search using the Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane database and Google Scholar database was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Results: Twenty pediatric studies and 22 cases of VCD were included for analysis. All the articles reported a single case, except two articles where two cases, respectively, are described. Clinical vulvar examination showed the following main manifestations: vulvar erythema (9/22 cases, 40.9%), vulv…
Helicobacter pylori first-line and rescue treatments in patients allergic to penicillin: Experience from the European Registry on H pylori management…
2020
Background Experience in Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment of patients allergic to penicillin is very scarce. A triple combination with a PPI, clarithromycin (C), and metronidazole (M) is often prescribed as the first option, although more recently the use of a quadruple therapy with PPI, bismuth (B), tetracycline (T), and M has been recommended. Aim To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line and rescue treatments in patients allergic to penicillin in the "European Registry of H pylori management" (Hp-EuReg). Methods A systematic prospective registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists (27 countries, 300 investigators) on the management of H pylori infect…
Interventionelle ERCP bei Patienten mit Cholestase: Häufigkeit und Antibiotikaresistenz der biliären Keimbesiedlung
2001
Interventional ERCP in patients with cholestasis. Degree of biliary bacterial colonization and antibiotic resistance. Biliary obstruction together with bacterial colonization of the bile duct may lead to development of acute cholangitis. The aim of our prospective study was to investigate the presence and degree of biliary bacterial colonization by means of bile aspiration during ERCP in patients with biliary obstruction. Furthermore, we evaluated antibiotic therapy regimens, which would cover the bacterial species obtained by ERCP and subsequent culture in each patient. In addition, analysis of risk factors was performed that would predispose to the development of cholangitis.80 patients w…
Cetuximab-induced skin exanthema: prophylactic and reactive skin therapy are equally effective
2013
Purpose Treatment with cetuximab is accompanied by the development of an acneiform follicular skin exanthema in more than 80 % of patients. Severe exanthema (grade III/IV) develops in about 9–19 % of patients with the necessity of cetuximab dose reduction or cessation.
Prevention of postsurgical relapse and recurrence in Crohn's disease
2003
After first resection in Crohn's disease at 1 year 60-80% of patients have endoscopic recurrence, 10-20% have clinical relapse, and 5% have surgical recurrence. 1,2 This review focuses on the actual evidence on the prevention of recurrence and relapse dealing with risk factors and with drugs. Smoking is the only risk factor for Crohn's disease, that has been shown to be related to both endoscopic and surgical recurrence and relapse. Among the different drugs evaluated, some (Mesalamine and Metronidazole) have been shown to be effective, whereas others (immunosuppressive) need to be evaluated in further, new trials.
Severe Clostridium difficile infection with extremely high leucocytosis complicated by a concomitant bloodstream infection caused by Klebsiella pneum…
2020
Highlights • Exposure to antibiotics after surgery increase risk of Cl. difficile infection. • Sudden high leucocytosis may be sign of poor outcome in Cl. difficile case. • Oral Vancomycin could be responsible for the growth of bloodstream Kl. pneumonia.
