Der Phenylacetyl-(PhAc-)Rest als enzymatisch ablösbare Schutzgruppe für Peptide und Kohlenhydrate: Selektive Schutzgruppenabspaltungen mit Penicillin…

1988

N-Phenylacetyl-(PhAc-)-aminosauren werden mit Aminosauremethyl-, -benzyl-, -allyl- und -tert-butylestern mit Hilfe des modifizierten Carbodiimidverfahrens oder unter Verwendung von EEDQ in guten Ausbeuten zu vollgeschutzten Dipeptiden verknupft. Der PhAc-Rest ist bei den Abspaltungen der C-terminalen Schutzgruppen stabil, kann jedoch aus den Peptiden unter nahezu neutralen Bedingungen selektiv mit Penicillin-Acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) abgelost werden. Das Enzym hydrolysiert den PhAc-Rest auch aus der 2-Position von acetylgeschutzter Glucose, der 3-Position von Di-O-isopropylidenglucose und der primaren OH-Gruppe von Di-O-isopropyliden-L-sorbose. Bei den enzymatischen Abspaltungsreaktionen bleibe…

Commensal Staphylococcus isolates from the nasal cavity of community older adults in Valencia (Spain) and their resistance to methicillin and other a…

espanolLas cepas de Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a meticilina (SARM) estan ampliamente diseminadas, causando infecciones hospitalarias y comunitarias, y los portadores sanos de SARM constituyen un reservorio del patogeno. Otras especies de estafilococos coagulasa negativos (CoNS) colonizan animales y humanos, e incluyen cepas resistentes a meticilina (CoNSRM). En este trabajo hemos determinado la prevalencia de S. aureus y CoNS en la cavidad nasal de adultos mayores sanos (n= 27, edad media: 63.7 anos) y su resistencia a meticilina y otros antibioticos. Se obtuvieron 35 aislados de Staphylococcus. Todos los individuos (100%) portaban al menos una cepa de Staphylococcus; el 15% eran por…

Multiple Resistance to Betalactam Antibiotics, Azithromycin or Moxifloxacin in Implant Associated Bacteria

2013

Background Antibiotics are more and more frequently prescribed in dentistry for prevention and treatment of oral diseases. Bacterial resistance to these agents is clearly increasing, including even previously susceptible micro-organisms and true pathogens. The aim of the present investigation was to examine resistant bacterial strains with respect to possible multiple antibiotic resistance. Methods In a previous investigation, implant-associated bacteria were tested first as mixed cultures and again as pure isolates (n = 138) for resistance to one of five antibiotics (ampicillin/AM, ampicillin + sulbactam/AB, azithromycin/AZ, penicillin/PG, moxifloxacin/MX) using the Etest. The resistance o…

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…

Penicillin induced epileptiform activity and EEG spectrum analysis of BDNF heterozygous mice: an in vivo electrophysiological study.

2011

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) heterozygous mice (BDNF (+/-)) kindle slowly and have a higher seizure threshold. However, BDNF (+/-) mice exhibit reduced cortical inhibition and disrupted balance of excitation/inhibition synaptic transmission. We investigated penicillin-induced focal cortical epileptiform activity and electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral power of BDNF (+/-) mice, by using electrocorticogram (ECoG) recordings. BDNF (+/-) mice (n=10) and wild type littermates (n=9) were anesthetized with i.p. urethane (1.750g/kg). The recordings of ECoG were carried out by using a data acquisition system and 100IU penicillin was administered intracortically to induce epileptiform act…

Intracerebral Abscess Caused by Actinomyces israelii

2020

We describe a case of 49-years old female with a medical history of penicillin allergy, who suffered from brain infection caused by Actinomyces israelii. Therefore, the available therapy was metronidazole, ceftriaxone, and chloramphenicol. Due to a deterioration of the general and neurological condition of the patient, it was decided to perform a scratch skin test on penicillin, which was negative. After that, penicillin was administrated parenterally. The patient showed no hypersensitive reaction. Improvement was achieved. The patient underwent three subsequent surgeries due to primary and recurrent brain abscesses. There was a distinct improvement in her clinical status. Two months after …

Considerazioni su un caso di actinomicosi cervicale

2005

Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection due to Gram positive bacteria of Actinomyces genus. Actinomyces israelii is the most common in human infection.The authors described a case occurred in a 43 aged woman with a clinical presentation of a right submandibular indurative mass.After surgery, histological examination showed a granulomatous tissue with many actinomycetes. Patient was submitted to treatment with i.v penicillin. On the 11th day antibiotic therapy was replaced with ceftriaxone and teicoplanina. Patient did not present intercurrence during this period and presented improvement of the lesion.Actinomycosis is an uncommon disease. Establishment of the definite diagnosis requires a hi…

P3.281 Gonorrhoea on the Rise in Latvia - Diagnostics and Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance

2013

Background The emergence and international spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae has compromised the treatment and public health management of gonococcal infections. Appropriate diagnostics and surveillance of AMR are critical for controlling infections and in guiding international and national treatment guidelines to ensure appropriate patient management. Methods A questionnaire-based survey regarding the diagnostics and AMR surveillance of N. gonorrhoeae in Latvia was conducted by the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and Infectology of Latvia. Telephone interviews were carried out among the 73 biggest medical laboratories in Latvia. Results In 2011, a …

Treatment of cervicofacial actinomycosis: a report of 19 cases and review of literature

2013

Objectives: Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative granulomatous infection caused by the Actinomyces genus. Orocervicofacial actinomycosis is the most common form of the disease, seen in up to 55% of cases. All forms of actinomycosis are treated with high doses of intravenous penicillin G over two to six weeks, followed by oral penicillin V. Large studies on cervicofacial actinomycosis are lacking. Therefore proper guidelines for treatment and treatment duration are difficult to establish. The aim of this study is to establish effective treatment and treatment duration for orocervicofacial actinomycosis. Study design: A Pubmed and Embase search was performed with the focus on treatment and …
