BACKGROUND Optimal anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment has not yet been established. AIM To evaluate H. pylori eradication using tetracycline and furazolidone versus amoxicillin and azithromycin in lansoprazole based triple therapy in northeastern of Brazil. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and four patients with H. pylori infection, as determined by rapid urease testing and histology, were ...

we read with great interest the article published by hosseini et al. 1 in october issue of middle east journal of digestive diseases. briefly, in this article, authors concluded that furazolidone based therapeutic regimens (in moderate and even high-dose) were not preferable for first-line treatment against h. pylori infection among the northern population in iran. 1 altogether, some points we ...

Escherichia coli is the normal microbe of intestinal microflora but can cause different illnesses exception tract. And most problem illness with E. etiology rapid antibiotic resistance forming current pathogen. We had aim to detect susceptibility strains separated from samples ill cattle in endometritis and mastitis. 12 types antimicrobial preparations were tested. have founded, wild totally re...

The arithmetic mean roughness, Ra, values were determined by scanning electron microscopic technique of different core models (furazolidone, nitrofurantoin and acetyl salicylic acid), coated by HPMC film forming solution containing 10 wt% of various molecular weight PEGs. The results showed that both plasticizer molecular weight and core surface free energy could have a significant influence on...

Recently, some Aerococcus-like organisms (ALOs), isolated from urine and blood of elderly patients with urinary tract infection, have been described. In this study ALOs and related taxons were tested for susceptibility by agar diffusion and agar dilution methods to 15 selected antimicrobial agents for diagnostic and taxonomic considerations. ALOs were susceptible to a wide range of antimicrobia...

Vibrio cholerae O139 (173 strains) and O1 (221 strains) were tested for their in vitro susceptibilities to 39 antimicrobial agents. Both O139 and O1 strains were highly susceptible to azithromycin, cephems, minocycline, penems, and newer fluoroquinolones. O139 strains (94.8%), O1 Indian El Tor strains (97%), and Bangladeshi El Tor strains (50%) were highly resistant to streptomycin, sulfamethox...
