Elderly patients with acute urinary infections were treated in a double-blind study with either amoxycillin or cephradine. In 52 patients who had received amoxycillin for one week about a third of all intestinal Escherichia coli were highly resistant to amoxycillin, and many were resistant to tetracycline, trimethoprim, or chloramphenicol. Cephradine selected less resistance. At a week after completion of chemotherapy, cephradine-resistant E coli were replaced by sensitive cultures at a greater frequency than were amoxycillin-resistant E coli. Neither antibiotic altered the skin flora. Amoxycillin, but not cephradine, selected for Enterobacteriaceae in the saliva. The propensity of amoxycillin to select resistance in E coli will limit its usefulness in treating urinary infections.

Due to consumer demand, many conventional poultry farms are now growing poultry without antibiotics or synthetic chemicals. In addition to this, pasture/organic poultry farms have increased significantly in the USA, and they are also antibiotic- and chemical-free. According to recent reports, both antibiotic-free conventional and pasture poultry farmers are facing the re-emergence of bacterial diseases.

In this study, two magnetic activity-based protein profiling probes based on cephradine and amoxicillin were first synthesized that were used to produce the natural penicillin-binding protein 2 of . After characterization by using LC-ESI-MS/MS, it was found that the obtained proteins by using the two probes were the same. The molecular docking for 28 beta-lactam antibiotics showed that the key amino acids were Ser330 and Ser387, the main intermolecular forces were hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction, and the main binding sites in their molecules were on the beta-lactam ring.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of uropathogens in dogs and cats showing signs of urinary tract infections and analyze their antimicrobial resistance patterns.
- Over the research period from 2015 to 2019 in Santiago, Chile, a significant number of urine samples from both dogs (37.7%) and cats (26.1%) tested positive for bacterial growth, with Escherichia coli being the most frequently isolated pathogen.
- High levels of antibiotic resistance were found among the bacteria, particularly against common medications like amoxicillin and fluoroquinolone, which poses public health concerns regarding managing infections in pets.

Ompok pabda is gaining popularity in the aquaculture industry due to its increasing demand; however research on microbial diversity and antibiotic susceptibility remains limited. The present study was designed to identify the bacterial pathogens commonly found in the pabda farming system with their biofilm forming potential and antibiotic susceptibility. Different bacterial strains were isolated from water, sediments and gut, gill of pabda fish and the isolates were identified based on their morphological traits, biochemical and molecular analysis.

Objective: To analyze trends of antibiotic consumption and expenditure in Chinese stomatology hospitals between 2014 and 2018 with a longitudinal study design, and show the impacts of the comprehensive policy on dental antibiotic use in China.
Subject And Methods: Consumption was quantified as the number of daily defined doses (DDDs) and expenditure as the procurement costs, using medical institutions' drug procurement data from the Chinese Monitoring Network for Rational Use of Drugs. Descriptive statistics was employed and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was calculated to show the average annual growth rate.
