Erythromycin could be used to treat various bacterial infection, but it was harmful to the colonic microflora. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a fluorescence probe that could selectively and sensitively detect Erythromycin in pure water. In this work, a fluorescent probe named EHMC, which exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic in solid state and water/EtOH binary solvent was developed for "turn on" sensing Erythromycin in pure water with high selectivity and sensitivity (detection limit: 1.78 × 10 M). Also, there are fewer interference from other antibiotics in the detection process of probe EHMC for Erythromycin. Moreover, probe EHMC could as a portable test strips for highly selective detection of Erythromycin and identification of different concentrations of Erythromycin. In addition, living cells imaging experiments displayed that probe EHMC could detect Erythromycin in A549 cells and BEAS-2B cells successfully. Combined with the theoretical calculation results The sensing mechanisms that the CO in Erythromycin and OH in EHMC formed intermolecular hydrogen bond and further formed new aggregates were confirmed by job' plot, H NMR, FT-IR, ESI-MS, DLS and TEM and DFT calculation.

Bacterial infections are a common cause of sepsis, often leading to high patient mortality. Such infections are challenging to treat due to bacterial resistance to many existing drugs. Erythromycin (Ery) is a macrolide antibiotic used against bacterial infections with reported resistance.

Drug-resin complexes usually form in the aqueous phase. For poorly water-soluble drugs, low drug loading limits the use of resin in drug formulation. In this study, we used a new method to prepare azithromycin resinates, improving the drug loading rate, shortening the preparation time and simplifying the process.

Background: This study was conducted to explore the effects of erythromycin on biofilms comprising Acinetobacter baumannii (A baumannii).
Methods: To clarify the effect of erythromycin on the biofilms of A baumannii, we collected pure Ab strains isolated and identified from a variety of sample types extracted from patients in the microbiological laboratory of our hospital from April to August 2023, and divided them into an experimental group (treated with erythromycin) and a control group (without erythromycin). The morphology and quantity of A baumannii biofilm were observed at 24h, 48h, 72h, and 5d post-treatment, respectively, and the expression of quorum sensing (QS) system gene (abaI, abaR) mRNA was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.

The study focused on the extraction of free erythromycin from commercially manufactured tablets and the use of metal salts to synthesize erythromycin-metal complexes, specifically involving silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and copper (Cu). The synthesis was confirmed through various methods, including elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The microbiological investigation involved and as test organisms.

Background: Macrolide antibiotics, including azithromycin, can reduce under 5 years of age mortality rates and treat various infections in children in sub-Saharan Africa. These exposures, however, can select for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the gut microbiota.
Methods: Our previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a rapid-test-and-treat strategy for severe acute diarrheal disease in children in Botswana included an intervention (3-day azithromycin dose) group and a control group that received supportive treatment.
