Acinetobacter baumannii antibiotic resistance mechanisms
(2021)Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative ESKAPE microorganism that poses a threat to public health by causing severe and invasive (mostly nosocomial) infections linked with high mortality rates. During the last years, ... -
Antimicrobial Agent Susceptibility and Typing of Staphylococcal Isolates from Subclinical Mastitis in Ewes
(2019)Objective was to study susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of 142 staphylococcal isolates from subclinical mastitis in ewes. In total, 41.5% of these were resistant and 5.6% multidrug resistant. More coagulase-negative ... -
Azithromycin has a direct relaxant effect on precontracted airway smooth muscle
(2006)Macrolides have been proven to have beneficial bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory properties, but very little is known about the potential value of their bronchodilatory effect. Therefore, in the present study we ... -
Azithromycin has an antiproliferative and autophagic effect on airway smooth muscle cells
(2009)Azithromycin is used in long-term, low-dose treatment of airway diseases where airway wall remodelling is present. Since it improves total score symptom and respiratory function of such patients, we hypothesise that ... -
Azithromycin reduces the viability of human bronchial smooth muscle cells
(2010)The macrolide antibiotic azithromycin has an antiproliferative and autophagic effect on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of azithromycin on human bronchial ... -
