Introduction: In November 2018, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) restricted the use of fluoroquinolones (used by mouth, injections or inhalation) in the context of a referral due to long-lasting and potentially irreversible adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Fluoroquinolones should no longer be used to treat mild or moderate bacterial infections unless other antibacterials cannot be used.

Objectives: The first aim of our study was to analyze whether in the period before compared with after the referral the characteristics of spontaneous ADR reports related to fluoroquinolones differed and whether specific ADRs were more frequently reported for fluoroquinolones compared with cotrimoxazole.

This study investigated the psychophysiological and metabolomic changes during horticultural activities involving the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in individuals experiencing depressive mood based on the presence or absence of the soil microbe Streptomyces rimosus, which emits VOCs. Thirty participants met the specific depression and anxiety criteria and engaged in horticultural activities using soil inoculated with S. rimosus (experimental group) or medium (control group).

Article Synopsis
  • Bacteriophage therapy shows promise in treating infections caused by extensively drug-resistant bacteria (XDRAB), but its safety and impact on gut microbiota are still under scrutiny.
  • During a study focused on an elderly female patient receiving inhaled phage therapy, bacteriophage DNA was detected in her blood primarily in the early days of treatment, while levels in sputum decreased significantly over time.
  • Analysis of fecal samples revealed a substantial reduction in phage levels and significant changes in the gut microbiota composition, indicating that inhaled phages can enter the bloodstream and affect intestinal bacteria during treatment.
