A method is described for the determination of mezlocillin and its metabolites penicilloic acid and penilloic acid in biological fluids by high-performance liquid chromatography. The stability of mezlocillin in serum and buffer was studied at different temperatures (4, -20, -70, and -196 degrees C) over a period of 6 months. Mezlocillin remained stable at -70 and -196 degrees C, whereas degradation was observed at -20 and 4 degrees C in serum and buffer.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the occurrence, resistance, and risk factors related to community-onset urinary tract infections (COUTIs) caused by bacteria that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL-EC).
  • Conducted at a major hospital in China, this retrospective case-control analysis focused on adult patients with community-acquired UTIs, examining cases from May 2017 to December 2022 and excluding those with incomplete data or prior hospitalizations.
  • Results indicated that nearly 49% of COUTIs were due to ESBL-EC, with several significant risk factors identified, including previous urolithiasis procedures, urological surgery, recent hospitalizations, presence of an indwelling catheter, and previous

Article Synopsis
  • Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions to penicillin antibiotics can be severe and potentially deadly, making their diagnosis after anaphylactic deaths challenging due to non-specific indicators.
  • This study utilized a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) untargeted metabolomics approach to identify forensic biomarkers related to fatal anaphylactic shock caused by four types of penicillin antibiotics.
  • The research identified 24 distinct metabolites linked to allergic reactions, highlighting six common ones that formed a strong biomarker model for diagnosing penicillin-induced anaphylaxis, suggesting that metabolomic profiling can enhance post-mortem investigations.

Antibiotics are widely used for prophylaxis and therapy, reducing morbidity and mortality produced by bacterial pathogensin pigs, including infections caused by . The aim of this study was to characterise antibiotic resistance phenotypes and genotypes in isolates in pigs in West Romanian grower farms. Differential phenotypic susceptibility profiles and the contribution of resistance genes to phenotypic expression of susceptibility or resistance were evaluated.

Risk-factor analysis and predictive-model development of acute kidney injury in inpatients administered cefoperazone-sulbactam sodium and mezlocillin-sulbactam sodium: a single-center retrospective study.

Front Pharmacol

June 2023

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University and Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Shandong Engineering and Technology Research Center for Pediatric Drug Development, Shandong Medicine and Health Key Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacy, Jinan, China.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common adverse reaction observed with the clinical use of cefoperazone-sulbactam sodium and mezlocillin-sulbactam sodium. Based upon real-world data, we will herein determine the risk factors associated with AKI in inpatients after receipt of these antimicrobial drugs, and we will develop predictive models to assess the risk of AKI. Data from all adult inpatients who used cefoperazone-sulbactam sodium and mezlocillin-sulbactam sodium at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between January 2018 and December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.
