  2. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    Antibiotic sensitivity testing is also conducted at a population level in some countries as a form of screening. [4] This is to assess the background rates of resistance to antibiotics (for example with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ), and may influence guidelines and public health measures.

  3. Nitrofurantoin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrofurantoin

    Nitrofurantoin is concentrated in the urine, leading to higher and more effective levels in the urinary tract than in other tissues or compartments. [45] With a 100 mg oral dose, plasma levels are typically less than 1 μg/mL while in the urine it reaches 200 μg/mL .

  4. Urinary anti-infective agent - Wikipedia

    Chemical structure of nitrofurantoin. Nitrofurantoin is regarded as the first-line agent for simple cystitis, with an efficacy rate ranging from 88% to 92%. [9] It can also be a prophylactic agent to prevent long-term UTIs. [10] This antibacterial medication is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. [11]

  5. Klebsiella aerogenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klebsiella_aerogenes

    Klebsiella aerogenes, [2] previously known as Enterobacter aerogenes, is a Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, citrate-positive, indole-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. [3] Capable of motility via peritrichous flagella, [ 4 ] it is approximately one to three microns in length.

  6. Urinary tract infection - Wikipedia

    Another test, urine microscopy, looks for the presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, or bacteria. Urine culture is deemed positive if it shows a bacterial colony count of greater than or equal to 10 3 colony-forming units per mL of a typical urinary tract organism. Antibiotic sensitivity can also be tested with these cultures, making ...

  7. Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem-resistant_enter...

    Many studies use media with 1 to 2 mg/L of imipenem. However, bacteria that produce OXA-48 or OXA-181 result in low-level resistance, which cannot be detected efficiently due to the high concentration. [37] Therefore, more recent screening media use broth containing 0.5–1 mg/L imipenem or 0.5 mg/L ertapenem. The downsides to this approach ...

    Sensitivity to sunlight; Potential toxicity to mother and fetus during pregnancy; Enamel hypoplasia (staining of teeth; potentially permanent) Transient depression of bone growth; Inhibits the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. They do so mainly by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in the mRNA translation complex. But ...

  9. Klebsiella granulomatis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klebsiella_granulomatis

    Klebsiella granulomatis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Klebsiella [1] known to cause the sexually transmitted infection granuloma inguinale (or donovanosis). It was formerly called Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. [2] It is a non-motile aerobic bacillus with a non-sporulated capsule measuring 0.5 to 2.0 μm.
