Objective:To evaluate the antibacterial activity of pediatric Faropenem sodium against common pathogens isolated from children′s respiratory tract in vitro, and to provide reference for its clinical research and application. Methods:Retrospective analysis.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Faropenem sodium, Merope-nem, Imipenem and other antibiotics was determined by the agar dilution method.A total of 156 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae [including 32 strains of Penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PSSP), 28 strains of Penicillin-intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae (PISP) and 96 strains of Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP)], 98 strains of Haemophilus influenza, 173 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 55 strains of Moraxella catarrhali clinical isolates were used.MIC 50, MIC 90 and the accumulative inhibition of the bacteria were investigated. Results:The MIC of Faropenem sodium against all the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains ranged from 0.010-2.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against PSSP, PISP and PRSP, and the MIC 90 value was all 1.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Haemophilus influenza strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-8.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against Haemophilus influenza with or without β-lactamase and Ampicillin resistance.The MIC 90 value was all 4.000 mg/L.Ho-wever, the MIC of Faropenem sodium against Klebsiella pneumoniae ranged from 0.250 to above 32.000 mg/L, and both MIC 50 and MIC 90 were greater than 32.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Moraxella catarrhalis strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-2.000 mg/L, with MIC 50 being 0.500 mg/L and MIC 90 being 1.000 mg/L. Conclusions:Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results in vitro demonstrate that pediatric Faropenem sodium has satisfactory antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but comparatively weak antibacterial activities against Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Pertussis toxin(PTx), an important toxin that produced by Bordetella pertussis, is an important pathogenic factor in the pathogenesis of whooping cough.The previous studies have showed that PTx interacting proteins vary distinctly in size, ranging from the 43 kD surface protein of human lymphocyte to the 200 kD surface protein of insulin secreting cells.PTx has been shown to interact with N-linked oligosaccharides on the surface of host cells, sialoglycoprotein-like factors, glycoproteins such as haptoglobin, fetuin, G D1a glycolipids.Especially, the interaction of PTx with its receptor Gi protein can result in increased intracellular cAMP level, which will lead to multiple physiological responses.However, the current limited understanding of other PTx modified substrates and interacting proteins in cells has seriously hindered our understanding on the mechanism that PTx regulates other signaling pathways and physiological functions of the host.
Objective:To explore the correlation between the prevalence of Beijing genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb) and the resistance of anti-tuberculosis drugs in the initial treatment and retreatment patients with tuberculosis in Beijing. Methods:A total of 1 140 cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical strains from various districts in Beijing were randomly collected.The drug susceptibility test was carried out by proportional method.The Beijing genotype and non-Beijing genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis were identified by Spoligotyping method.Statistical methods were used to analyze the association between drug resistance and the prevalence of Beijing genotypes.Results:Among the tuberculosis patients with initial treatment, the percentages of strains resistant to isoniazide, amikacin, capreomycin, para-aminosalicylic among Beijing genotype family strains were significantly lower than those among non-Beijing genotype strains ( χ2=2.670, 15.282, 16.219, 22.676, all P<0.05). Among the retreatment tuberculosis cases, the percentages of strains resistant to amikacin and para-aminosalicylic among Beijing genotype family strains were significantly lower than those among non-Beijing genotype strains ( χ2=15.167, 4.574, all P<0.05), the percentage of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among Beijing genotype family strains was significantly lower than that among non-Beijing genotype strains ( χ2=7.046, P<0.05). Conclusions:There are different associations between the prevalence of Beijing genotypic Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the occurrence of the resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs in initial treatment and retreatment cases.There are associations with the occurrence of drug resistance to isoniazide, amikacin, capreomycin and para-aminosalicylic in initial treatment cases, while there are associations only with the occurrence of drug resistance to amikacin and para-aminosalicylic in retreatment cases.Meanwhile, the percentage of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis occurred from Beijing genotypic strains is lower in retreatment cases.
