Sodium dicloxacillin for intravenous administration manufactured in the USSR was studied clinically in 21 cardiosurgical patients. The patients were operated with the use of artificial circulation. 16 patients received the drug for counteracting purulent inflammatory complications during the postoperative period. 5 septic patients were treated with dicloxacillin with curative purposes. The antibiotic proved to be highly effective in treatment and prevention of postoperative purulent complications in patients subjected to open-heart operations. 80 per cent of the Gram-stained isolates were sensitive to dicloxacillin. No pronounced complications with respect to the liver were observed in the patients treated with dicloxacillin.

Elucidating the physicochemical interactions between fibrinogen and surfactant mixtures: Implications for pharmaceutical sciences.

This study investigates the physicochemical interactions between fibrinogen (Fib), a key glycoprotein in blood clotting, and a mixture of two biologically active compounds: dicloxacillin (Diclox), an antibiotic; and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant. Understanding these interactions is crucial for enhancing drug delivery systems and optimizing pharmaceutical formulations. Molecular docking simulations and various spectroscopic techniques, including UV-Vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism, were employed to explore how this mixture affects the structural and functional properties of fibrinogen.

Article Synopsis
- The CCR5 receptor is linked to susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus leukotoxin ED, and researchers investigated the effects of the CCR5Δ32 deletion on S. aureus infection and nasal carriage in a large Danish blood donor study.
- Analysis involved over 95,000 participants, examining various health outcomes and inflammatory markers through sophisticated statistical methods.
- Findings indicated that CCR5Δ32 does not significantly affect the risk of S. aureus-related infections or nasal carriage, although it was associated with higher levels of certain chemokines in individuals with the deletion.
The emergence of multidrug-resistant Proteus vulgaris infection in cage reared Pangasianodon hypophthalmus: Molecular characterization and host-pathogen response.

The study investigates the causative agent responsible for massive mortality in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus cage farms. The infected pangasius were lethargic, not taking feed, and had exophthalmia, deep ulceration, and hemorrhage on the ventral body surface. Pathogens were isolated from infected pangasius tissue samples, and the strain was preliminarily identified as Proteus vulgaris based on morphology, biochemical tests, 16S rRNA PCR sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.
