Turbidimetric assays: the antibiotic dose-response line.
نویسنده
چکیده
Several antibiotics reduced growth of bacteria without killing them when present in the range of concentrations of significance in assaying. The reduction in growth rate was linearly related to concentration of antibiotic. From this fact may be derived an equation of the form log N = A - BC where N is the concentration of bacteria at the end of the incubation period, C is the concentration of antibiotic, and A and B are constants. This equation is used to guide the selection of the best range of concentrations of unknown for assay and to show the large influence of variations of temperature upon an assay.

Impact of Prolonged Fraction Delivery Time Modelling Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy with High Dose Hypofractionation on the Killing of Cultured ACHN Renal Cell Carcinoma Cell Line
Introduction: Stereotactic body radiotherapy delivers hypofractionated irradiation with high dose per fraction through complex treatment techniques. The increased complexity leads to longer dose delivery times for each fraction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of prolonged fraction delivery time with high-dose hypofractionation on the killing of cultured ACHN cells.Method...

Introduction: Chemotherapy has been restricted due to the high-dose side effects. In the present study, acceleration of the chemotherapeutic drug (5FU) entrance into MCF-7 cells has been explored by using a recombinant form of Fragaceatoxin C (FraC) pore-forming toxin. Methods: In this experimental study, the gene for FraC toxin was order from a commercial source and was sub-cloned into pET28a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti-cancer activity of Boswellic acid and Montelukast sodium against human prostate cancer cell line PC-3
Prostate cancer is a devastating disease for which current therapies are inadequate. Various lines of evidences have suggested the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway and the leukotriene receptor pathway are potential targets for prevention or treatment of Prostate cancer. Thus, search for new anti-cancer drugs targeting 5-LOX and leukotriene is very essential and important. The objective of the pre...
متن کاملParaprotein interference with turbidimetric gentamicin assay
INTRODUCTION Gentamicin due to its low level of resistance and rapid bactericidal activity is commonly used to treat gram-negative bacteria. However, due to its toxic effects it needs to be monitored. To date, no interference has been reported with gentamicin assays. MATERIALS AND METHODS A patient with leg cellulitis and sepsis received a single dose of gentamicin and a sample was sent for g...
متن کاملDihydrostreptomycin produced by direct fermentation.
.Most of the streptomycin produced in the United States (342,000 kg in 1958) is sold as dihydrostreptomycin. Production of dihydrostreptomycin from streptomycin entails catalytic hydrogenation followed by a crystallization. Production of dihydrostreptomycin directly by fermentation would have the advantage of simplicity of purification with its attendant economic advantage. Our antibiotics scre...
