Evidence has emerged about the way bacteria become resistant to multiple drugs. The findings by a John Innes Centre research ...

Ciprofloxacin is widely prescribed for the treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary-tract infections (UTIs), and once-daily ER ciprofloxacin (as Proquin XR) is as effective as twice-daily ...

Purpose: The effect of omeprazole on the oral bioavailability and urinary exposure of the Depomed formulation of extended-release(ER) ciprofloxacin was studied. Methods: A two-way crossover study ...

Copy number variants (CNVs) arise by homologous recombination (HR) between repeated sequences (recurrent CNVs) or by non-homologous recombination mechanisms that occur throughout the genome (non ...

Defense mechanisms are rooted in Freud’s theory of personality.According to his model, the mind has three dueling forces: the id (unconscious and primitive urges for food, comfort, and sex), the ...

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, a type of drug - such as penicillin or ciprofloxacin - that kills or stops the growth of bacteria. When bacteria ...

Learn why a protein in oyster blood could boost some antibiotics’ efficacies against several resistant strains.

Delve into the increasingly dynamic landscape of ALS treatment development with thirteen companies advancing candidates in ...

Several fleshy fruits are highly affected by cracking, a severe physiological disorder that compromises their quality and causes high economical losses to the producers. Cracking can occur due to ...

Figure 6 depicts an example of a possible mechanism (but certainly not the only one) involved in the synergistic effect seen for the combination of some AMPs with chemical antibiotics. In this example ...

Structural and cellular assays and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the mechanism of action of γ-glutamyl carboxylase, which involves cholesterol and vitamin K. Protein kinase R-like ...

Bacteria are endowed with the ability to reproduce and develop resistance mechanisms against antibiotics. The current investigation aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of bacterial isolates from ...
