The development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enclosing active pharmaceutical ingredients is of considerable interest, as their use in controlled drug release and delivery is very promising. Although nalidixic acid is an antibiotic with a broad spectrum of biological applications, effective mainly against Gram-negative infections, its oral bioavailability is low due to a poor solubility and slow dissolution. Herein, we report new metal-organic frameworks (BioMOFs) comprising nalidixic acid and divalent magnesium and manganese ions. These compounds showed an adequate cytotoxicity and improved antimicrobial activity, especially against Gram-negative bacteria. These BioMOFS are among the first examples containing active pharmaceutical ingredients as linkers. Importantly, it is shown that a remarkable increase of the antimicrobial activity of certain antibiotics may be achieved by delivering them in the form of BioMOFs.

Antimicrobial Activity of Naphthyridine Derivatives.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Organic Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Wroclaw Medical University, 211A Borowska Str., 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland.
To combat the problem of the increasing drug resistance of microorganisms, it is necessary to constantly search for new medicinal substances that will demonstrate more effective mechanisms of action with a limited number of side effects. Naphthyridines are N-heterocyclic compounds containing a fused system of two pyridine rings, occurring in the form of six structural isomers with different positions of nitrogen atoms, which exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity, in particular antimicrobial properties. This review presents most of the literature data about the synthetic and natural naphthyridine derivatives that have been reported to possess antimicrobial activity.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat, with antimicrobial use (AMU) in livestock recognized as a significant driver. This study examines farm-level AMU and AMR as well as the relationship between AMU and AMR on broiler farms in Indonesia. Data were collected from 19 farms in West Java between 2019 and 2021 to examine AMU in depth across four to five successive production cycles.

The increasing occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing , most commonly , has become a serious problem. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in dairy cattle, goat and sheep farms located in southern Türkiye. Samples (409 quarter milk samples and 110 fresh faecal samples from cattle, 75 bulk tank milk samples and 225 rectal swab samples from goats and sheep) were subjected to selective isolation on MacConkey agar with ceftazidime (2 µg/mL).

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the aetiological spectrum, seasonal distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns of diarrhoeal diseases in Bhutan.
Study Design And Setting: The study used a cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of secondary data gathered through a passive, hospital-based sentinel surveillance for diarrhoeal disease across 12 hospitals, representing Bhutan's demographically diverse regions.
Participants: A total of 3429 participants' data of all age groups who presented with diarrhoea at sentinel hospitals between 1 January 1 2016 and 31 December 2022 were analysed.

The research used bacterial biosensors containing bacterial luciferase genes to monitor changes in the environment in real-time. In this work to express four different gene constructs: recA:luxCDABE, soxS:luxCDABE, micF:luxCDABE, and rpoB:luxCDABE in Escherichia coli SM lux biosensor after exposure to three different antibiotics (nalidixic acid, ampicillin, kanamycin) and diclofenac was determined. It was found that incubation of the E.
