Journal: Prediction and mechanism of combined toxicity of surfactants and antibiotics in aquatic environment based on in silico method. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 2, 2025 The results shown that synergistic toxicity effects were observed in the binary mixture of levofloxacin (LEV) and octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton X-100)...Further analysis revealed that the electrostatic potential of different target chemicals and their binding ability with enzymes affected the activity of AChE of Daphnia magna, resulting in different toxicity. Specifically, in the AChE?+?Triton X-100?+?LEV system, the second pollutant enhances the ability of the overall system to bind pollutants, which exhibit a synergistic effect during the binding process.

In this cohort study of patients with uncomplicated UTI derived from a large regional claims dataset, national treatment guidelines published almost 14 years ago continue to recommend optimal treatments. These results also provide proof-of-principle that automated feature extraction methods for OMOP formatted data can emulate manually curated models, thereby promoting reproducibility and generalizability.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2025 This case underscores the intersection of infectious diseases and social inequalities, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider W. chitiniclastica in patients with poor hygiene, alcoholism, peripheral vascular disease, and open wounds. It also emphasizes the dual role of maggots in wound care, capable of both cleaning necrotic tissue and introducing pathogenic bacteria.

Journal: NIR-Activated Hydrogel with Dual-Enhanced Antibiotic Effectiveness for Thorough Elimination of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 16, 2025 Here, we have developed a dual-antibiotic hydrogel delivery system (PDA-Ag@Levo/CMCS), which can achieve controlled release of clinical antibiotics levofloxacin (Levo) and classic nanoscale antibiotic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), effectively eliminating drug-resistant P. aeruginosa...Mechanism studies have shown that PDA-Ag@Levo might eliminate drug-resistant P. aeruginosa by disrupting biofilm formation and protein synthesis, and inhibit the resistance mutation of P. aeruginosa by promoting the expression of related genes, such as rpoS, dinB, and mutS. Collectively, the synergistic effect of this dual-antibiotic hydrogel combined with PTT provides a creative strategy for eliminating drug-resistant bacteria in chronic infection wounds.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2025 Our data suggest that FQs, particularly levofloxacin, attenuate the inflammatory process mediated by cadmium in human astrocytes. These effects may be mediated, at least in part, by inhibition of immune pathways regulated by TLR4, STAT3, ERK MAPK, and NF-?B.
