We describe here in vitro activity for the combination of azithromycin or terbinafine and benzalkonium, cetrimide, cetylpyridinium, mupirocin, triclosan, or potassium permanganate. With the exception of potassium permanganate, the remaining antimicrobial drugs were active and had an MIC90 between 2 and 32 μg∕ml. The greatest synergism was observed for the combination of terbinafine and cetrimide (71.4%). In vivo experimental evaluations will clarify the potential of these drugs for the topical treatment of lesions caused by Pythium insidiosum.

Bioaccumulation and tissue distribution of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products in fish along the pollution gradients of a wastewater-impacted river.
Sci Total Environ

Division for Marine and Environmental Research, Ruder Boskovic Institute, Bijenicka c. 54, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.
Article Synopsis
- - A study assessed the presence and distribution of 43 pharmaceutical compounds (PhACs) in the Sava River (Croatia) focusing on their potential to bioaccumulate in fish and the environmental risks associated with this.
- - Utilizing a specific LC-MS/MS method, researchers found that PhAC residues varied significantly between water and fish samples, with major antibiotics rising in prevalence near wastewater discharge areas, while upstream, psychostimulants and opioids were common.
- - The study highlighted varying bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of PhACs in different fish tissues, with some compounds showing moderate to moderately high BCFs, indicating their significance for environmental risk assessments, particularly with the influence of biotransformation processes.

Background: Lagenidium deciduum is an oomycete that can cause infections in mammals that present similarly to pythiosis and mucormycosis. Most of the existing case reports have occurred in canines and have been fatal. In animals, medical therapy has not been successful, so surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment.

Pythiosis is a fatal disease which has high incidence in tropical regions. In contrast with vascular pythiosis, cutaneous and subcutaneous pythiosis are both uncommon. Here, we report a case of subcutaneous pythiosis in a pregnant farmer manifested with a progressively larger and more painful mass at right deltoid.

Background: Pythium, soil-borne plant pathogens, are in the class Oomycetes. They are not true fungi, but are related to diatom and algae. There are two human pathogens including P.

Human pythiosis is a life-threatening human disease caused by In Thailand, vascular pythiosis is the most common form and carries a mortality rate of 10 to 40%, despite aggressive treatment with radical surgery, antifungal agents, and immunotherapy. Itraconazole and terbinafine have been the mainstay of treatment, until recently, based on case report data showing potential synergistic effects against Brazilian isolates. However, the synergistic effects of itraconazole and terbinafine against Thai isolates were not observed.
