- summary: Although we cannot draw a clear correlation between the SSI rate and our improved intraoperative compliance redosing, correct intraoperative antibiotic redosing has been shown to decrease SSIs, 3 and this QI project demonstrates that comprehensive education along with antibiotic-specific EMR alerts significantly increased the compliance of intraoperative antibiotic redosing. The primary project goal was to increase intraoperative antibiotic redosing compliance.

- summary: Several adverse effects related to antibiotic use are described in the literature; with acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) being the most concerning effect. De-escalation decreases the time of antibiotic use, but a short exposure still exists; in this way, a single antibiotic dose may be enough to treat severe infections such as Fig.

- summary: Adverse events related to H. pylori eradication therapy are common, but usually they are mild and of short-term duration; the most common symptoms are diarrhea, nausea and/or vomiting, epigastric pain, and altered taste [34] . Awareness of the complication is particularly important when both duration and indications for H. pylori eradication therapy have been extended.

- summary: These extrachromosomal DNA elements provide ready access to disposable yet potentially highly advantageous genes including antibiotic resistance genes from plasmids or phage particles. Antibiotic resistance genes probably arose from detoxifying enzymes or synthetic enzymes with altered substrate specifi city by critical mutations or recombination events resulting in the formation of mosaic genes with entirely new functions [30] .

- summary: To the extent they can be developed and used separately, the potential for animal antibiotic use leading to antimicrobial resistance for important human antibiotics will be mitigated. Despite the scientific and economic evidence, many comments to the proposed final regulation reflected ongoing resistance to the elimination of food animal production use of medically important antibiotics.

- flesch: 48
- summary: One of the most important concerns the controversies and public policies that have developed over recent years with regard to the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which has directly challenged the economic and professional model of farm animal veterinary practices that were setting drugs (mostly antibiotics) up as a cornerstone of veterinary activity, as a source of both income and professional expertise. The fact is that this model of preventive veterinary medicine seems in reality to be quite typical of a very particular segment of the veterinary profession, the one this article proposes to describe, namely industrial vets.

- summary: Reduced access to dental care and an inability for dentists to provide dental procedures increases dental antibiotic prescribing. A large increase in dental antibiotic use in England during April and May 2020 was widely anticipated and so we undertook a rapid analysis comparing antibiotic use across Sir, the pre-visit triage, which practices are advised to do, will preclude any proven or probable COVID-19 patients from attending a practice, leaving only the possible, undiagnosed cases as posing a risk of bringing this infection into a practice.

- words: 5758
- flesch: 25
- summary: Despite these important associations, the use of antiinfectives (antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, vaccines) that specifically target known pathogens, or drugs that are based on or exploit microbe-host receptor interactions (toll-like receptor agonists, bacterial lysates) or are immunomodulators (vitamin D), and/or may work in part by altering our associated microbiology (probiotics) are, with the exception of severe asthma, seldom considered in asthma treatment, prevention and guidelines. Evidence to date suggested that modulation of the gut microbiome may represent an interesting therapeutic or preventative opportunity for the prevention of allergic asthma and AE, whilst clinical trials do not confirm initial enthusiastic expectations.

Consequently, besides a Global Health problem, AR has an important economic impact (Rudholm, 2002) , hence constituting a Global Development Problem, endangering not only the achievements toward the Millennium Development Goals but also the Sustainable Development Goals (van der Heijden et al., 2019).

- summary: Flagellin treatment alone decreased bacterial counts in the lungs by 5.6-fold, whereas AMX treatments decreased bacterial counts by 3.7-fold (for a dose of 100 µg) and 74.6-fold (for a dose of 350 µg). These results show a significant therapeutic advantage for the combination treatment, relative to standalone AMX or flagellin treatments ( Figure 4B) .

- summary: To explore the detailed mechanism for the susceptibility of the two antibiotics against NDM-1 positive strain, 100 mM meropenem was used as NDM-1 substrate, then 50 mM and 150 mM tigecycline or aztreonam were mixed with the reaction system as the inhibitors. Our study will provide clues to investigate the molecular basis of extended antibiotics resistance of NDM-1 and then accelerate the search for new antibiotics against NDM-1 positive strain in clinical studies.

Although the future potential of nontraditional therapies is viewed with cautious optimism, adequate resourcing will be critical to demonstrate clinical impact, especially when many of the translational criteria associated with direct-acting small molecule therapeutics will likely be incongruent with the nontraditional development pathway.
