Review, Journal: United States' regulatory approved pharmacotherapies for nuclear reactor explosions and anthrax-associated bioterrorism. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2023
For bioterrorism-associated anthrax, the FDA approved five antibiotics (doxycycline, penicillin-G, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and ciprofloxacin), two monoclonal antibodies (obiltoxaximab and raxibacumab), one polyclonal antitoxin (Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous) and two vaccines (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed and Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed with an adjuvant)...Two potential mass public health disasters are aerosolized anthrax dissemination and radiological incidents. Five agents authorized for anthrax emergencies only have FDA approval for this indication, five antibiotics have FDA approvals as antibiotics for common infections and for bacillus anthrax, and four agents have regulatory approvals for supportive care for cancer and for radiological incidents.
- | Journal: A Multicenter Evaluation of Overall Susceptibility and Antimicrobial Resistance Among Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2023
An increase in resistance to penicillin and macrolides among S. pneumoniae isolates was observed in the Indian population. Addressing the elevating rates of S. pneumoniae resistance may require pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) with expanded serotype coverage and targeted antimicrobial stewardship efforts.

P4 data, Journal: Usefulness of medicine screening tools in the frame of pharmaceutical post-marketing surveillance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2023
In this study, three screening tools were used on 292 samples of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole collected in Cameroon...Seven additional samples from the nitro-imidazole (secnidazole, ornidazole, tinidazole) and the fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, moxifloxacin) families were analyzed to mimic falsified medicines...The advantages and drawbacks of each screening tool were highlighted. They are promising means in the frame of early detection of SF medicines and they can increase the speed of decision about SF medicines in the context of pharmaceutical post-marketing surveillance.

Journal: Levofloxacin+Tetracycline Quadruple Regimen for Eradication of Helicobacter pylori: A Multicenter Multinational Randomized Controlled Trial. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 7, 2023
Overall, the combination of tetracycline+levofloxacin is more efficient for HP eradication in comparison with clarithromycin+amoxicillin despite more complication rate. In areas with a high rate of resistance to clarithromycin, this therapeutic regimen could be an ideal choice for HP eradication, especially among those who were diagnosed with PUD.
