    Endobronchial Tuberculosis (EBTB) - A Hidden Danger (Area K, Hall F (North Building, Exhibition Level), Moscone Center) -  Feb 19, 2022 - Abstract #ATS2022ATS_1512;    
    She had been treated with bronchodilators and periodic courses of Levofloxacin in the outpatient setting with no lasting improvement...Further bacterial, fungal and viral testing was negative.The patient was diagnosed with endo-bronchial tuberculosis(EBTB) and started on treatment with isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide.EBTB is highly infectious and remains a challenging diagnosis due to its indolent course, diagnosis is usually delayed until onset of significant bronchial stenosis and resultant atelectasis/bronchiectasis. Early treatment with steroid therapy can be effective in certain groups however patients often require balloon dilatation or stent placement even after adequate antimicrobial treatment

    Multiple Tuberculosis Brain Abscesses in an Immunocompetent Adult (Area K, Hall F (North Building, Exhibition Level), Moscone Center) -  Feb 19, 2022 - Abstract #ATS2022ATS_1508;    
    However, because 1/3 of patients can have paradoxical worsening within three months of starting therapy, duration and dosage of steroid therapy should be tailored based off individual’s clinical neurological recovery. Adjunctive levofloxacin has been studied as an additional agent given its excellent CNS penetration.

    Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with both disseminated TB and HLH, early recognition and treatment is paramount. The clinician is faced with challenges when deciding if a patient with disseminated TB should receive steroids for treatment of suspected HLH highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

    Other prognostic indicators include liver disfunction and delayed administration of appropriate antibiotics. In these case series all strains were sensitive to imipenem, vancomycin, levofloxacin, and gentamicin, whereas only one isolate was sensitive to penicillins or cephalosporins in vitro. Given the gravity of this infection we recommend immediate broad-spectrum coverage with antimicrobials such as vancomycin and meropenem as soon as B. cereus septicemia is suspected.

    She was diagnosed with urosepsis and was treated with intravenous fluids, norepinephrine infusion, and intravenous vancomycin and meropenem...She was started on levofloxacin...Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging pathogen that can cause severe life-threatening infections and has inherited resistance to various antimicrobials. Increased awareness regarding this pathogen is necessary to decrease the incidence, transmission spread, and case fatality related to the infection.

    GOLD guidelines allow for various antibiotic choices (e.g., aminopenicillin with clavulanic acid, macrolide or tetracycline) and hospitalized patients with AECOPD receive a variety of antibiotics...Of the 31 patients who received azithromycin during their index admission, 51.6% had 1 or more readmissions within 60 days compared with 55.5% of 45 patients who received levofloxacin and 59.5% of 42 patients who received doxycycline (p=0.80 by Chi-square)...Patients received the same antibiotics when readmitted within 60 days, occasionally over multiple readmissions. Antibiotic selection did not influence outcomes in patient’s frequently hospitalized for AECOPD, but specific guidelines for antibiotic usage are needed for these patients.

    Mutation in the gyrA gene affect the occurrence of bacterial resistance of E. coli to levofloxacin. The results showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri from fermented soursop fruit juice and cow's milk respectively fulfilled the characteristics of probiotic and could potentially be used as adjunct therapy in tuberculosis drug-resistance.

    Preclinical, Journal:  In Silico Screening and In Vitro Assessment of Natural Products with Anti-Virulence Activity against Helicobacter pylori. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 15, 2022   
    Therefore, in the last part, we extended the research with a number of further experiments and observed the ability of dioscin to significantly reduce the formation of H. pylori biofilm under Bioflux-generated flow conditions and its capacity for additive enhancement of the antibacterial activity of all three commonly used antibiotics (clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin). Based on these results, we suggest that dioscin may be an interesting candidate for new therapies targeting H. pylori survivability and virulence.

    The best effectiveness rates were observed for cefepime, streptomycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, aztreonam, nalidixic acid, tobramycin, levofloxacin, amikacin, and meropenem...The results found in the present work raise concern about the level of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens isolated from domestic animals in Brazil. The results highlight the need for the development and implementation of anti-resistance strategies to avoid the dissemination of multiresistant pathogens, including the prudent use of antimicrobials and the implementation of bacterial culture, antimicrobial sensitivity, and phenotypic tests for the detection of beta-lactamase enzymes in bacteria isolated from animals.

    Review, Journal:  Literature review on the distribution characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pathogens in neonatal sepsis. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 11, 2022   
    Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are highly resistant to ampicillin, but there are drugs with high efficacy for both, including imipenem, piperacillin/tazobactam, aminoglycosides (gentamicin, amikacin), and quinolones (levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin)...The resistance rate of K. pneumoniae to third-generation cephalosporins was higher than the national average drug resistance level (p < .01), but this organism was most sensitive to carbapenems (carbapenem resistance refers to resistance to any of imipenem, meropenem, or ertapenem)...Compared to the CARSS data on bacterial resistance, the data in this review on the resistance of pathogens causing NS were not favorable. The next goal in antibiotic management in NICUs must be to develop strategies to reduce the use of antibiotics.

    In addition, non-persisters in monoploid-enriched subpopulations elongated minimally following FQ treatment, resembling previous observations of HR-deficient strains, whereas non-persisters in diploid-enriched subpopulations on average filamented extensively. Together, these results identify a phenotypic variable with a significant impact on FQ persistence, establish the existence of more than one type of persister to the same antibiotic in an isogenic culture, and reveal roles for RecA and RecB in FQ persistence, even in the absence of homologous chromosomes.

    The treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was substituted for a one-time dose of ceftriaxone 1gr via intramuscular injection and 1gr of oral azithromycin, followed by oral azithromycin 500mg once daily for the two following days, thus treating both S. flexneri and N. gonorrhea...Fecal cultures were positive for Shigella sonnei and antibiotic susceptibility testing showed multi-drug resistance to amoxicillin, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, erythromycin, and cotrimoxazole, and susceptibility to meropenem...Accordingly, active screening and treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis A-B-C, Entamoeba spp., and Giardia lamblia should be performed. Lastly, case 2 demonstrates an important Shigella-associated acalculous cholecystitis, which resolved completely with antibiotic therapy, without the need for surgical intervention.

    Journal:  Estimating combined health risks of nanomaterials and antibiotics from natural water: a proposed framework. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 5, 2022   
    Although the expected risk values were observed to be less than 1 (both hazard quotients and hazard interactions less than 1) for all the conditions and assumptions made, still a thorough monitoring and analysis of the studied contaminants in water is required to protect humans from their adverse effects, if any. Maximum allowable concentrations (C) at which no risk can occur to humans was found to be (maximum values): ABs (233.8 µg/L, NOR); metal ions (1.02 × 10 mg/L, Ti ions), and NPs (6.68 × 10 mg/L, TiO), respectively.
