the series of 3-(substitutedphenyl)-n-(4h-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)acrylamide compounds were prepared byreaction of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole with acetyl chloride followed by claisen-schmidt condensation reactionwith different aromatic aldehydes. the structures of new compounds were confirmed by ir, 1h-nmr and13c-nmr spectral data. anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities were evaluated and compared wi...

Background: Skin eruption is a disease that it is because of skin necrosis and adolescence and youth depression. The some species of Staphylococcuss are agent of this disease. There isn’t effective drug for curing of this disease. Many of medicinal plants (e.x. Stachys inflata Benth.) have anti- bacterial compounds and they can be used as a drug to cure skin eruption disease. Objective: This r...

Objective(s): Chitosan based composite fine fibers were successfully produced via a centrifugal spinning technology. This study evaluates the ability of the composites to function as scaffolds for cell growth while maintaining an antibacterial activity. Materials and methods: Two sets of chitosan fiber composites were prepared, one filled with anti-microbial silver nanoparticles and another on...

A simple microbiological method to identify antimicrobial agents in urine is described. Of 1,514 consecutive urine specimens received from general practitioners, 302 (19.94%) contained antimicrobial activity. The antibacterial agent was identified confidently in 284 of these. Surprisingly, 83 (5.48%) urine specimens contained an antimicrobial substance not usually used in the treatment of urina...

In the last decade we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the proportion and absolute number of bacterial pathogens resistant to multiple antibacterial agents. Multidrug-resistant bacteria are currently considered as an emergent global disease and a major public health problem. The B-Debate meeting brought together renowned experts representing the main stakeholders (i.e. policy makers, publi...

Antibiotics are among the most frequently used drugs in children. Although antibacterials have been available for decades, many agents have not been studied to assess their safety and efficacy in the pediatric population. This article describes the pharmacologic characteristics and therapeutic use of the most commonly prescribed antibacterials for pediatric patients. Newer agents currently unde...

Investigations over the past 20 years have demonstrated that antibacterials can vary markedly in the time course of antimicrobial activity. These differences in pharmacodynamic activity have implications for optimal dosage regimens. The results of more recent studies suggest that the magnitude of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters required for efficacy are relatively similar in anim...
