In-vitro susceptibility of 1982 respiratory tract pathogens and 1921 urinary …
A total of 3903 pathogens from 48 Canadian medical centres were tested against 19 antimicrobial agents. Five agents showed activity against 90% of all 1982 respiratory tract pathogens tested (ciprofloxacin, 90%; cefoperazone, 91%; ticarcillin/clavulanate, 92%; ceftazidime and imipenem, 93% each). Nine agents had 90% activity against Enterobacteriaceae from respiratory tract infection (cefotaxi…

Comparison of the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) induced by ceftizoxime, ceftri…
The exposure of bacteria to various groups of antimicrobials at different concentrations can produce damage to the bacteria that persists even after removal of the antimicrobial agent. The post antibiotic effect (PAE) of b-lactams on aerobic Gram-negative bacilli is relatively short (o1 h), however, little information is available regarding anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli. We studied the PAE…

Patient Diagnosis Resource for RADIATION COLITIS
Your doctor has determined that you have radiation colitis, an inflammation of the colon that occurs as a side effect of cancer radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis. The condition can arise from external radiation treatment delivered by a high energy X-ray machine or internal radiation therapy, which is delivered through small implants placed directly into or near the cancerous tumor
