Purpose: To evaluate the impact of intraocular lens (IOL) moxifloxacin presoaking time on the intraocular concentration of moxifloxacin achieved after intracameral moxifloxacin injection.
Setting: Harlan Biotech Israel, Rehovot, Israel.
Design: Laboratory study
Methods: Sixty eyes of 30 rabbits were divided into 2 groups after crystalline lens evacuation. In Group A (30 eyes), hydrophilic acrylic IOLs presoaked for 15 minutes in 5 mg/mL moxifloxacin were implanted. In Group B (30 eyes), the same hydrophilic acrylic IOLs presoaked in the same solution for 24 hours were implanted. Intracameral injection of 100 mcg/0.1 moxifloxacin was performed at the end of surgery in both groups. Aqueous humor samples were obtained 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours after IOL implantation and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the antibiotic concentration.
Results: Group A achieved mean postoperative moxifloxacin concentrations of 18.60 mcg/mL±8.80 (SD), 4.08±6.03 mcg/mL, 1.50±0.75 mcg/mL, 0.21±0.09 mcg/mL, and 0.12±0.04 mcg/mL at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, respectively. Group B achieved mean moxifloxacin concentrations of 17.25±6.27 mcg/mL, 9.46±2.22 mcg/mL, 6.26±1.22 mcg/mL, 4.34±0.42 mcg/mL, and 3.62±1.02 mcg/mL, respectively. Moxifloxacin concentrations at 6, 8, and 10 hours were statistically significantly higher in Group B than in Group A (all P<.0001).
Conclusions: Combining intracameral moxifloxacin injection with implantation of moxifloxacin-presoaked hydrophilic acrylic IOLs yielded high intraocular concentrations of moxifloxacin. Higher concentrations were found with longer presoaking.

The impact of heteroresistance on tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes is unclear, as is the role of different rifampin and isoniazid exposures on developing resistance mutations. Hollow fiber system model of TB (HFS-TB) units were inoculated with drug-susceptible () and treated with isoniazid and rifampin exposure identified in a clinical trial as leading to treatment failure and acquired drug resistance. Systems were sampled for drug concentration measurements, estimation of total and drug-resistant , and small molecule overlapping reads (SMOR) analysis for the detection of heteroresistance.

Objective: To investigate the impact of dexamethasone on the antibiotic susceptibility of common ocular pathogens in dogs and identify safe antibiotic-steroid combinations for veterinary ophthalmology.
Methods: This study utilized 30 bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Streptococcus canis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, collected from canine patients with suspected bacterial keratitis. The isolates were tested against 17 antibiotics in the presence of dexamethasone concentrations ranging from 0 to 2 mg/mL.

Cadmium is a non-essential element and neurotoxin that causes neuroinflammation, which leads to neurodegenerative diseases and brain cancer. To date, there are no specific or effective therapeutic agents to control inflammation and alleviate cadmium-induced progressive destruction of brain cells. Fluoroquinolones (FQs), widely used antimicrobials with effective blood-brain barrier penetration, show promise in being repurposed as anti-inflammatory drugs.

Excess consumption of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance that hinders the control and cure of microbial diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the antibiotic levels in the environment. In this proposed research work, an optical nano-sensor was devised that can sense the ultra-low concentration of antibiotics, in samples like tap water using fluorescent zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs) based nano-sensor.

Here, we report a synthesis of fluoroquinolones carrying a monoterpene moiety at the C7 position of aromatic structure. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of fluoroquinolone fused with trans-3-hydroxy-cis-myrtanylamine 18 against Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA isolates) were two- to eightfold lower compared to moxifloxacin, although fourfold higher against MRSA isolates. The fluoroquinolone fused with (-)-nopylamine 16 was four- to eightfold less active on MSSA compared to moxifloxacin, while had similar activity on MRSA.
