Objectives: This study has been done to evaluate the interaction between ethanolic extracts of Rhus coriaria (seed), Psidium guajava (Leaf), Lawsonia inermis (Leaf) and Sacropoterium spinosum (seed) and antimicrobial drugs including oxytetracycline HCl, enrofloxacin, gentamicin sulphate and sulfadimethoxine against four clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Me...

A terbium-sensitized luminescence method is described for the determination of the sum of residues of enrofloxacin and its major metabolite ciprofloxacin in edible animal tissues. Several parameters affecting both detection and extraction were studied. Analytes were extracted from spiked samples of chicken and trout tissues with pH 7.4 buffer-dichloromethane. The organic extract was evaporated ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the intrinsic activity of pradofloxacin, a new fluoroquinolone developed for use in veterinary medicine, with other fluoroquinolones, against anaerobic bacteria isolated from dogs and cats. METHODS One hundred and forty-one anaerobes were isolated from dogs and cats and comparative MICs of pradofloxacin, marbofloxacin, enrofloxacin, difloxacin and ibafloxacin were determ...

Aim: The present study was aimed to isolate and evaluate the continuous change in the pattern of drug resistance showed by different mastitogenic organisms, isolated from clinical and subclinical cases of mastitis. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out using 150 milk samples received from various clinical and subclinical cases, from which the causative organisms were isolated and sub...

Eight hundred and eighty-three strains of Campylobacter spp. isolated between 1982 and 1989 from human stools and poultry products were screened for quinolone resistance. In this period the prevalence of resistant strains isolated from poultry products increased from 0% to 14%. During the same period the prevalence in man increased from 0% to 11%. The emergence of quinolone resistance has impli...

Water monitoring is key to determining the presence of potentially hazardous substances related urban activities and intensive farming. This research aimed perform a long-term (four years) quantitative selected antibiotics (azithromycin, enrofloxacin, trimethoprim sulfadiazine) both in rivers wastewaters belonging Ebro River basin (North Spain). The target were chosen on basis preliminary multi...

the blood biochemical parameters were investigated in a yak (bos grunniens l) after intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg enrofloxacin. blood samples were collected from the jugular vein daily for 5 days after the drug administration. heparinized bloods were collected for mean corpuscular volume (mcv), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr), hemoglubin (hb) estimation and serum was collected for ...

Fluoroquinolones were originally developed for the Gram-negative aerobic spectrum, but the newer generation agents are also highly effective against some Gram-positive pathogens and cause few adverse effects. Owing to these characteristics, fluoroquinolones are often used in first line therapy in small animal practice. However, their widespread use has raised concern over emerging bacterial res...

The present study was designed to determine the interplay of efflux protein inhibitors on antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics enrofloxacin in chicken. Capsaicin theobromine were used as inhibitors. Birds weighing about 1.5 2.0 kg allocated 3 groups six at random. Group I served control, whereas II III birds coad ministered with capsaicin along enrofloxacin. plasma levels determined by H...
