Identifying multidrug-resistant organisms in diabetic foot ulcers: a study of risk factors and antimicrobial resistance genes.

This study aims to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of bacterial isolates from DFU patients, identify the prevalence of MDROs, and identify specific risk factors contributing to these infections to inform effective antibiotic treatment strategies. This prospective cohort study included 187 DFU patients from March 2023 to February 2024 at King Khalid Hospital, Saudi Arabia. The exclusion criteria were nondiabetic ulcers, specific infections, tumours, or recent antibiotic use.

Validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for determination of rosuvastatin in plasma at picogram level.

In this study, a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed and validated for the determination of rosuvastatin (ROS) in plasma samples at picogram level. The assay employed a polyclonal antibody that specifically recognizes ROS with high affinity, and ROS conjugate of bovine serum albumin (ROS-BSA) immobilized onto microplate wells as a solid phase. The assay involved a competitive binding reaction between ROS, in plasma sample, and the immobilized ROS-BSA for the binding sites on a limited amount of the anti-ROS antibody.

Generation of polyclonal antibody with high avidity to rosuvastatin and its use in development of highly sensitive ELISA for determination of rosuvastatin in plasma.

In this study, a polyclonal antibody with high avidity and specificity to the potent hypocholesterolaemic agent rosuvastatin (ROS) has been prepared and used in the development of highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of ROS in plasma. ROS was coupled to keyhole limpt hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using carbodiimide reagent. ROS-KLH conjugate was used for immunization of female 8-weeks old New Zealand white rabbits.

Generation of a specific polyclonal antibody with high affinity to atorvastatin and its employment in the development of ELISA for determination of atorvastatin in plasma.

For the first time, a polyclonal antibody with high affinity to atorvastatin (ATR) was generated. The high specificity of the antibody for ATR among its structural analogues and co-administered therapeutic agents was proved. The antibody was employed in the development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantitation of ATR in plasma.

Preparation of a highly specific polyclonal antibody against and its use in development of ELISA for determination of in plasma.

For therapeutic monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies of the potent hypocholesterolaemic agent fluvastatin (FLV), a specific antibody was required for the development of a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the accurate determination of FLV in plasma. In this study, a highly specific polyclonal antibody against FLV has been prepared. FLV was coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using carbodiimide reagent.

Novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for determination of fluvastatin in plasma at picogram level.

For the first time, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed and validated for the determination of fluvastatin (FLV) in plasma samples at picogram level. The assay employed a polyclonal antibody that specifically recognizes FLV with high affinity, and FLV conjugate of bovine serum albumin (FLV-BSA) immobilized onto microplate wells as a solid-phase. The assay involved a competitive binding reaction between FLV, in plasma sample, and the immobilized FLV-BSA for the binding sites on a limited amount of the anti-FLV antibody.

New highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the determination of pravastatin in human plasma.

New highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has been developed and validated for the determination of pravastatin (PRV) in human plasma samples. PRV was coupled to keyhole limpt hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) via its terminal carboxylic acid group by carbodiimide reagent. PRV-KLH conjugate was used as an immunogen for raising anti-PRV polyclonal antibody in rabbits.
