Clinical studies on sulbactam/cefoperazone (SBT/CPZ) were carried out and the results were as follows: Eleven patients (pneumonia 8, acute purulent arthritis of the knee joint 1, urinary tract infection 2) were treated with SBT/CPZ, in doses of 30-67 mg/kg divided 3 times per day for 3-61/3 days intravenously. The overall efficacy rate was 100%. As to adverse reaction, diarrhea was observed in 1 case. Abnormal laboratory data were noted in 2 cases (GPT elevation in 1, and eosinophilia and GPT elevation in 1).

Department of General Medicine, SRM (Sri Ramaswamy Memorial) Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Chengalpattu, IND.
Background: Intensive medical care units (IMCUs) usually admit patients who are in critical medical need and require the utmost attention of healthcare professionals, along with the best treatment options available. These patients are prone to infections and require various antibiotics for the treatment. Varying costs of antibiotics, variable dosage forms, and antibiotic resistance cause an economic burden on patients Methodology: This study was designed and conducted prospectively to evaluate the prescribing pattern of antibiotics at the IMCU in a tertiary care hospital.

In this study, we proposed a novel method utilizing polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)-based hybrid silica monolithic spin tip to analyze hydrophilic β-lactam antibiotics and β-lactamases inhibitors in whole blood samples for the first time. HNTs were incorporated directly into the hybrid silica monolith via a sol-gel method, which improved the hydrophilicity of the matrix. The as-prepared monolith was further modified with PEI by glutaraldehyde coupling reaction.

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is often difficult to treat. Considering the current circumstances, there is an unquestionable need for new therapeutic options to treat CRAB infections. In the present study, the synergistic activity of sulbactam-based combination was determined against genetically characterized CRAB isolates.

Background: Green synthesis is an efficient and eco-friendly method that has been used frequently in silver nanoparticle production in recent years. This method facilitates the production of nanoparticles using various organisms, such as plants, and is also cheaper and easier to apply than the other techniques.
Aims: This study aims to find possible mechanisms and pharmacological effects of cubic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Genetic Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases in Gram-Negative Rods Isolated from Clinical Specimens in Pakistan.

Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan 60800, Pakistan.
The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes has increased remarkably, resulting in multidrug-resistant gram-negative rods (GNRs) in clinical specimens. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of ESBL-producing GNRs and its correlation with corresponding genes. Two hundred and seventy-two ( = 272) samples were evaluated for the molecular identification of ESBL genes by polymerase chain reaction after confirmation with the modified double-disc synergy test.
