Studies of fluoroquinolone (FQ) safety across indications show increased collagen/neurological adverse event (AE) risk, yet patients still receive FQs for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs). This retrospective, cohort study investigated the risk of collagen/neurological AEs of special interest (AESIs) with short-term FQ use versus standard-of-care antibiotics (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [SXT], nitrofurantoin [NTF]) among female outpatients with uUTIs. This study was conducted between December 2009 and 2019 using Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database.

Liver Disease Research Branch, Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Background: The incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is not known for most prescription medications. We aimed to estimate the incidence of DILI for commonly prescribed outpatient drugs.

Methods: To establish a baseline estimate of DILI incidence, we used the estimated incidence (EI) of amoxicillin/clavulanate DILI from a previous population-based study in Iceland.

A series of 13 new 3-substituted 5-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles was synthesized from different aminonitriles. All compounds were screened in the disc diffusion test at a 100 μg/mL concentration to determine the bacterial growth inhibition zone presence and diameter, and then the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for the most active compounds by serial dilution. The compounds showed antibacterial activity against ESKAPE bacteria, predominantly suppressing the growth of 5 species out of the panel.

Nitrofurantoin is the antibiotic of choice for treatment and prophylaxis of recurrent episodes of lower urinary tract infections. Although adverse effects such as anorexia, vomiting, and pulmonary hypersensitivity are commonly reported with nitrofurantoin use, studies have demonstrated that rarely nitrofurantoin can also induce diverse forms of liver injury, spanning from mild hepatitis to severe and potentially fatal fulminant liver failure. These occur especially in elderly females with preexisting liver or renal impairment.
