Antibiotics are essential in many life‐threatening diseases. On the other hand, improper use of antibiotics can be disastrous. Cell morphological changes were observed in the ciprofloxacin‐treated cells starting at 48 hours. Changes in cell morphology were continuously observed up to 14 days, which showed gradual morphological changes from monocyte to plaque‐like cells at day 12, and foam cell, which is an intermediate stage in atherosclerosis was observed at day 8, which was confirmed with Oil Red O staining. Flow cytometry data revealed that oxidized LDL (oxyLDL)‐induced cells showed 60.16% of CD64 (proinflammatory macrophage markers) and no expression of CD23 (anti‐inflammatory macrophage markers), whereas ciprofloxacin‐treated cells expressed 67.97% of CD64 and 13.78% of CD23. Chemokine antibody array analysis revealed that ciprofloxacin exposed cells showed a proinflammatory role (ENA78, Eotaxin1, Eotaxin2, IP‐10, MIG, MIP‐3β, SDF‐1β, TECK, CXCL16, and Fractalkine). Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) revealed that myristic acid was incorporated into a protein with 68 kDa molecular mass in exposing oxyLDL‐induced monocytes with ciprofloxacin, which could be a reason for the observed foam cells and in vitro plaque formation. As myristic acid primes atherosclerosis, it is better to limit the intake of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin for common illness, specifically the high‐risk patients, which may contribute to atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Due to the refractory nature of pathogenic microbial biofilms, innovative biofilm eradication strategies are constantly being sought. Thus, this study addresses a novel approach to eradicate Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and magnetic fields were systematically evaluated in vitro for their relative anti-biofilm contributions. Twenty-four-hour biofilms exposed to aerosolized MNPs, Cipro, or a combination of both, were assessed in the presence or absence of magnetic fields (Static one-sided, Static switched, Oscillating, Static + oscillating) using changes in bacterial metabolism, biofilm biomass, and biofilm imaging. The biofilms exposed to magnetic fields alone exhibited significant metabolic and biomass reductions (p < 0.05). When biofilms were treated with a MNP/Cipro combination, the most significant metabolic and biomass reductions were observed when exposed to static switched magnetic fields (p < 0.05). The exposure of P. aeruginosa biofilms to a static switched magnetic field alone, or co-administration with MNP/Cipro/MNP + Cipro appears to be a promising approach to eradicate biofilms of this bacterium. 相似文献

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of xanthan gum facilitated superabsorbent polymeric microspheres
Shiv Sankar Bhattacharya Farhan Mazahir Subham Banerjee Anurag Verma Amitava Ghosh 《Carbohydrate polymers》2013
Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel microspheres of xanthan gum (XG) based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared by water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion crosslinking method for sustained release of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIPRO). The microspheres were prepared with various ratios of hydrolyzed SAP to PVA and extent of crosslinking density. The prepared microspheres with loose and rigid surfaces were evidenced by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the IPN formation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study was performed to understand the dispersion nature of drug after encapsulation. The in vitro drug release study was extensively evaluated depending on the process variables in both acidic and alkaline media. All the formulations exhibited satisfactory physicochemical and in vitro release characteristics. Release data indicated a non-Fickian trend of drug release from the formulations. Based on the results, this study suggest that CIPRO loaded IPN microspheres were suitable for sustained release application. 相似文献

The polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment of ciprofloxacin-Indion 234 complex was aimed to retard rapid ion exchange drug release
at gastric pH. Ciprofloxacin loading on Indion 234 was performed in a batch process, and the amount of K+ in Indion 234 displaced by drug with time was studied as equilibrium constant KDM. Drug-resin complex (DRC) was treated with aqueous PEG solution (0.5%–2% wt/vol) of different molecular weights (MWs) for
2 to 30 minutes. The PEG-treated ciprofloxacin-Indion 234 complex was evaluated for particle size, water absorption time,
and drug release at gastric pH. During drug loading on Indion 234, the equilibrium constant (KDM) increased rapidly up to 20 minutes with efficient drug loading. Increased time of immersion of the drug resinate in PEG
solutions significantly retained higher size particles upon dehydration. The larger DRC particles showed longer water absorption
times owing to compromised hydrating power. The untreated DRC showed insignificant drug release in deionized water; while
at gastric pH, ciprofloxacin release was complete in 90 minutes. A trend of increased residual particle size, proportionate
increase in water absorption time, and hence the retardation of release with time of immersion was evident in PEG-treated
DRC. The time of immersion of DRC in PEG-treated DRC. The time of immersion of DRC in PEG solution had predominant release
retardant effect, while the effect of molecular weight of PEG was insignificant. Thus, PEG treatment of DRC successfully retards
ciprofloxacin ion exchange release in acidic pH. 相似文献

AIMS: To examine associations between growth rate within bacterial populations and survival patterns following treatment with antimicrobial agents. METHODS AND RESULTS: Time survival data were generated for the inactivation of Escherichia coli populations, grown as batch and continuous cultures, exposed to ciprofloxacin, benzalkonium chloride and tetracycline. Time-survivor plots were biphasic. Surviving cells were collected and immediately re-exposed to agent or were regrown and then re-exposed. Survivors were resistant to immediate challenge with any of the treatment agents. This resistance was lost on regrowth suggesting that survival reflects an expressed phenotype within a subset of the culture (persisters) rather than individual resistant clones or nonspecific quenching of the test agent. The fraction of persisters increased with decreasing growth rate when cultures were prepared in continuous culture. CONCLUSIONS: Clonal growth rates within populations were determined by culture of individual cells within microtitre plate wells. The fraction of clones, in batch cultures, growing maximally at rates below the apparent threshold for susceptibility to the test agents was sufficient to explain the results of continuous culture experiments. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The presence of persisters in populations of bacteria relate to small subset of cells that are growing only slowly or are metabolically quiescent. 相似文献

Nanostructured agglomerated vesicles encapsulating ciprofloxacin were evaluated for modulated delivery from the lungs in a healthy rabbit model. An aliphatic disulfide crosslinker, cleavable by cysteine was used to form cross-links between nanosized liposomes to form the agglomerates. The blood levels of drug after pulmonary instillation of free ciprofloxacin, liposomal ciprofloxacin, and the agglomerated liposomes encapsulating ciprofloxacin were evaluated. The liposomes and agglomerated vesicles showed extended release of drug into the blood over 24 hours, while the free ciprofloxacin did not. The agglomerates also allowed modulation of the drug release rate upon the introduction of cysteine into the lungs post-drug instillation; the cysteine-cleavable agglomerates accelerated their drug release rate, indicated by an increased level of drug in the blood. This technology holds promise for the post-administration modulation of antibiotic release, for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary and systemic infections. 相似文献

Ciprofloxacin induced an increment of reactive oxygen species in sensitive strains of Staphylococcus aureus leading to oxidative stress detected by chemiluminescence while resistant strains did not suffer such stress. Oxidation of lipids was performed by employing thiobarbituric acid reaction to detect the formation of the amplified intermediate between reactive species oxygen and cytoplasmic macromolecules, namely malondialdehyde (MDA). The sensitive strain presented higher peroxidation of lipids than the resistant strain. The oxidative consequence for DNA was investigated by means of bacteria incubation with ciprofloxacin and posterior extraction of DNA, which was studied by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Sensitive S. aureus ATCC 29213 showed an increase of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) respect controls without antibiotic; there was evident increase of the ratio between 8-oxodG and deoxyguanosine (dG) as a consequence of oxidation of dG to 8-oxodG considered the major DNA marker of oxidative stress. The resistant strain showed low oxidation of DNA and the analysis of 8-oxodG/dG ratio indicated lesser formation of 8-oxodG than S. aureus ATCC 29213. 相似文献

The acquisition of multi-drug resistance (MDR) genes by pathogenic bacterial bugs and their dispersal to different food webs has become a silent pandemic. The multiplied use of different antibacterial therapeutics during COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process among emerging pathogens. Wild migratory birds play an important role in the spread of MDR pathogens and MDR gene flow due to the consumption of contaminated food and water. Escherichia fergusonii is an emerging pathogen of family Enterobacteriaceae and commonly causes disease in human and animals. The present study focused on the isolation of E. fergusonii from blood, saliva, and intestine of selected migratory birds of the Hazara Division. The sensitivity of isolated strains was assessed against ten different antibiotics. The isolation frequency of E. fergusonii was 69%. In blood samples, a high rate of resistance was observed against ceftriaxone (80%) followed by ampicillin (76%) whereas, in oral and intestinal samples, ceftriaxone resistant strains were 56% and 57% while ampicillin resistance was 49% and 52% respectively. The overall ceftriaxone and ampicillin-resistant cases in all three sample sources were 71% and 65% respectively. In comparison to oral and intestinal samples, high numbers of ceftriaxone-resistant strains were isolated from the blood of mallard while ampicillin-resistant strains were observed in blood samples of cattle egrets. 16S rRNA-based confirmed strains of E. fergusonii were processed for detection of CTX-M and TEM-1 gene through Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after DNA extraction. Hundred percent ceftriaxone resistant isolates possessed CTX-M and all ampicillin-resistant strains harbored TEM-1 genes. Amplified products were sequenced by using the Sanger sequencing method and the resulted sequences were checked for similarity in the nucleotide Database through the BLAST program. TEM-1 gene showed 99% and the CTX-M gene showed 98% similar sequences in the Database. The 16S rRNA sequence and nucleotide sequences for TEM-1 and CTX-M genes were submitted to Gene Bank with accession numbers LC521304, LC521306, LC521307 respectively. We posit to combat MDR gene flow among the bacterial pathogens across different geographical locations, regular surveillance of new zoonotic pathogens must be conducted. 相似文献
