Mixtures of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid were determined by using kinetic data in combination with partial least-squares multivariate calibration. The reaction of oxidation of these compounds with cerium(IV) in sulfuric acid medium has been monitored fluorimetrically. To follow the kinetics of the reaction, the stopped-flow mixing technique was used. Partial least-squares calibration of the kinetic data allowed the resolution of the analytes investigated in the concentration ranges between 0 and 4 mugml(-1). The method was applied satisfactorily to several pharmaceutical formulations, including Clavucid, Augmentine, Pangamox, Eupeclanic and Clamoxyl. The results obtained were validated by using an HPLC method. The percentages of recovery range from 91 to 105% for amoxycillin and from 78 to 117% for clavulanic acid, respectively.

Introduction: People migrating to the Canary Islands by sea frequently suffer from potentially severe skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) for which optimal empirical antibiotic therapy is not well defined.
Methods: This descriptive retrospective observational study assess a case series of newly arrived maritime migrants to the Canary Islands who were diagnosed with clinical and microbiological SSTIs and admitted to the Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria Hospital in Tenerife between January 2020 and December 2023. Clinical data, bacterial species, resistance profiles, and choice of empirical treatments were analysed.

A novel fluorescent probe, Bibc-DNBS, based on the combination of the PET (photoinduced electron transfer) and ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer) mechanisms, was designed and synthesized. Bibc-DNBS exhibited a Stokes shift of 172 nm in the fluorescence detection field. In addition, the probe exhibited good performance in key parameters in bioassays such as sensitivity, specificity, and response time.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges of our time, urging researchers in both veterinary and public health to engage in collaborative efforts, thereby fostering the One Health approach. Infections caused by species can not only lead to significant diseases in poultry but also pose serious threats to human life, particularly in hospital (nosocomial) infections; therefore, it is crucial to identify their antimicrobial resistance.
Methods: Our objective was to assess the susceptibility profile of commensal strains ( = 227) found in commercial chicken flocks in Hungary through the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values.
