Understanding the impact of antimicrobial use on the emergence of resistant bacteria is imperative to prevent its emergence. For instance, activation of the AcrAB efflux pumps is responsible for the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains. Here, we examined the expression levels of acrB and its multiple regulator genes (RamA, SoxS, MarA, and Rob) in 17 field isolates of S. Chole...

In this contribution a simple method has been employed to synthesis silver nanowires by thermal decomposition of silver complexes. Nanowires are the product of possible chemical reduction of metallic silver residue that remains after the thermal degradation process. Silver(I) complexes of quinolone antibacterial drugs sparfloxacin [Ag(SPHX)2·NO3]·3H2O (1) and enrofloxacin [Ag(ENRX)2·NO3]·2H2O (...

The pharmacokinetic behavior of enrofloxacin (EF) was investigated in geese after oral (p.o.) and intravenous (i.v.) administrations of a single dose of 20 mg/kg body weight. Plasma concentrations of EF and its active metabolite, ciprofloxacin, were determined by high performance liquid chromatography fluorescence method. Plasma concentrations versus time were analyzed by non-compartmental meth...

Mastitis is one of the major and keen parameter for quality quantity milkproduction. The recent study was conducted to estimate occurrence rate mastitis in four differentseasons year its therapeutic cure Llivestock Experiment Station Nili Ravi Bhunikey. Forthis purpose, total 1188 milk samples were screened through California MastitisTest. Out samples, prevalence 9.7% (27/279) winter, 14%(40/28...

Background & Aims: Most antibiotics not only inhibit microbial growth, but also can increase the growth of livestock. Although enrofloxacin is one of the most commonly used antibiotics, it has high toxicity on the kidney, liver, and brain. The aim of this study was to synthesize nanocellulose conjugated with aminobenzyl purin and to study its enrofloxacin adsorption capability....

The efficacy of 5 drugs was tested against experimental Babesia felis infection in domestic cats. Two of the drugs, rifampicin and a sulphadiazine-trimethoprim combination, appeared to have an anti-parasitic effect, but were inferior to primaquine. The other 3 drugs, buparvaquone, enrofloxacin and danofloxacin, had no significant anti-babesial effect.
