In this work, dissociation constants values of seven beta lactam antibiotics in water and acetonitrile-water mixtures using spectrophotometric and reversed phase liquid chromatography methods were determined. The dissociation constant values of these compounds were calculated by NLREG and STAR programs. Aqueous pK(a) values of beta lactam antibiotics were calculated with extrapolation by means of the Yasuda-Shedlovsky and mole fraction equations. Finally, application of the different techniques was compared to the determination of aqueous pK(a) values of investigated compounds.

Enterococcus faecalis is responsible for numerous serious infections, and treatment options often include ampicillin combined with an aminoglycoside or dual beta-lactam therapy with ampicillin and a third-generation cephalosporin. The mechanism of dual beta-lactam therapy relies on the saturation of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Ceftobiprole exhibits high affinity binding to nearly all E.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm
January 2025
Background: Given the challenges of pediatric antibacterial therapy, it is crucial to formulate antibiotics with a lower potential for interaction with dietary interventions and tailor them for optimal administration in children. Chemometric methods allow us to analyze multiple interrelated variables simultaneously and uncover correlations.
Aim: We applied a chemometric approach to examine how food, beverages, antacids, and mineral supplements affect antibiotic bioavailability in adults and children, aiming to explore relationships between antibiotic structure, physicochemical properties, and post-meal changes in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
The Global Prevalence of Reported Penicillin Allergy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Infect
January 2025
Department of Infectious diseases- Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London.
Objectives: Patients labelled with penicillin allergy (PenA) often receive broader spectrum antibiotics, associated with antimicrobial resistance and poorer outcomes. However, ~95% of patients are likely mis-labelled. Whilst de-labelling programmes are gaining momentum, they have been restricted to a few countries.

The rise in antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, particularly among diabetic patients who are prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Pathogens that cause UTI among diabetic patients exhibit significant multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns, necessitating more precise empirical treatment strategies..
