It is impossible to test accurately bacterial susceptibility to the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination co-trimoxazole with a single combined susceptibility disk. However, a variety of factors still affect the result even when separate trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole disks are used. Experiments with separate disks showed that the optimum conditions for testing the susceptibilities of enterobacteria to these drugs were to flood-seed an agar plate with an inoculum of 10(4) to 10(5) organisms per ml, take off the excess liquid, and place a disk of 1 microgram of trimethoprim and another of 50 micrograms of sulfamethoxazole on the surface of the agar with their centers exactly 25 mm apart. This method not only allowed the determination of resistance but also distinguished synergy.

Separation of Antibiotics Using Two Commercial Nanofiltration Membranes-Experimental Study and Modelling.
Membranes (Basel)
November 2024
Institute of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Studentská 573, 532 10 Pardubice, Czech Republic.
The widespread use of antimicrobial drugs has contributed to the increasing trace levels of contaminants in the environment, posing an environmental problem and a challenge to modern-day medicine seeking advanced solutions. Nanofiltration is one such breakthrough solution for the selective removal of antibiotics from wastewater due to their high efficiency, scalability, and versatility. This study examines the separation of antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole (SMX), trimethoprim (TMP), and metformin (MET), respectively) using commercially available membranes with an emphasis on AFC membranes (AFC 30 and AFC 80).

Electronic address:
This study monitored the occurrence of 34 MPs in 2 Portuguese estuaries and adjacent coastal area using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, covering: (i) an extensive monitoring study area; (ii) a multi-class group of organic MPs, including some outlined in European Union guidelines for water protection; (iii) a year-long monitoring campaign including different seasons; (iv) samples collected at both flood and ebb tide; and (v) samples taken from the water surface and bottom at each sampling point. Results showed that a specific group of compounds prevailed in the monitored areas, with concentrations depending on season, tide, and location. In general, the MPs found more frequently were isoproturon and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, along with pharmaceuticals trimethoprim, acetaminophen, tramadol, diclofenac, and ketoprofen, which were mostly detected at higher concentrations.

Background: Antibiotic prescription practices differ between countries, influencing regional antimicrobial resistance prevalence. However, comparisons of clonal diversity among resistant bacteria in countries with different prescribing practices are rare. The rise of fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQREC), often multidrug-resistant, exacerbates global antibiotic resistance.
