The relative biological availability (bioavailability) of three brands of ampicillin trihydrate capsules marketed in Canada was studied by means of a crossover experimental design and was evaluated by analysis of variance. After administration of a single oral dose (500 mg.) to volunteer subjects, the mean peak ampicillin serum concentration and the area under the time ampicillin serum concentration curve (AUC) were higher for one of the products than for the other two. A second study utilizing the same experimental design revealed no differences in these parameters when different production lots of the more available product were compared. Product bioavailability was not related to the in vitro dissolution time of the capsules. The experimental design and methods of statistical analysis are discussed. 相似文献

Mass transfer effects were investigated for the synthesis of ampicillin and amoxicillin, at pH 6.5 and 25 degrees C, catalyzed by penicillin G acylase immobilized on agarose. The influence of external mass transfer was analysed using different stirring rates, ranging form 200 to 800 rpm. Above 400 rpm, the film resistance may be neglected. Intra-particle diffusion limitation was investigated using biocatalysts prepared with different enzyme loads and agarose with different mean pore diameters. When agarose with 6, 8 and 10% of crosslinking were used, for the same enzyme load, substrates and products concentration profiles presented no expressive differences, suggesting pore diameter is not important parameter. An increase on enzyme load showed that when more than 90 IU of enzyme activity were used per mL of support, the system was influenced by intra-particle mass transfer. A reactive-diffusive model was used to estimate effective diffusivities of substrates and products. 相似文献

The first successful development of controlled microwave processing for pharmaceutical formulations is presented and illustrated with a model drug (ibuprofen) and two excipients (stearic acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone). The necessary fine temperature control for formulation with microwave energy has been achieved using a uniquely modified microwave oven with direct temperature measurement and pulse-width modulation power control. In addition to comparing microwave and conventional heating, the effect of the presence of liquid (water) in aiding the mixing of the drug and excipient during formulation was also investigated. Analysis of the prepared formulations using differential scanning calorimetry and dissolution studies suggest that microwave and conventional heating produce similar products when applied to mixtures of ibuprofen and stearic acid. However, the differences were observed for the ibuprofen and polyvinylpyrrolidone formulation in terms of the dissolution kinetics. In all cases, the presence of water did not appear to influence the formulation to any appreciable degree. The application of controllable microwave heating is noteworthy as fine temperature control opens up opportunities for thermally sensitive materials for which microwave methods have not been feasible prior to this work. 相似文献

We examined a strain of Escherichia coli, serotype O159.H34, of human origin which produced heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins, was resistant to ampicillin, and produced colicin. By conjugation and transformation experiments plasmids coding for enterotoxin production (Ent), enterotoxin production and ampicillin resistance (Ap-Ent), ampicillin resistance (Ap), and colicin production were isolated. Both the Ent and Ap-Ent plasmids were autotransferring and belonged to the F-incompatibility complex. However, the Apr Ent+ transconjugants showed differences in their levels of resistance and in their abilities to propagate F-specific phages and to transfer resistance. The results suggested there was transposition from the small Ap plasmid to the Ent plasmid. The Ap-Ent plasmids were larger than the enterotoxin factor and when treated with restriction endonuclease BamHI showed an additional fragment not present in the enterotoxin plasmid. The insertion of ampicillin resistance probably occurred at different sites on the enterotoxin plasmid, resulting in the observed variation in phenotype. 相似文献

We describe the formulation of bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA‐NPs) by the coacervation method using surfactants. Plasmids (pUC18, pUC18egfp and pBBR1MCS‐2) isolated from E. coli were incorporated into the BSA matrix by incubating in albumin solution prior to formulation of NPs. Plasmid incorporation was calculated by % yield, entrapment efficiency, DNA loading capacity and release of entrapped DNA by comparing with blank NPs. BSA‐DNA binding studies were carried out by using fluorescence spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The surface charge distribution of the NPs loaded with plasmid was calculated using zeta potential. The photoluminescence of BSA‐NPs was quenched when loaded with pDNA, confirming the interaction of DNA with BSA. Altogether, these results provide evidences for the excellent DNA carrying efficiency of BSA‐NPs without loss of plasmid's integrity. The NPs were used to transfect E. coli DH5α strain lacking ampicillin resistance. They, however, showed ampicillin resistance subsequent to transfection with plasmid encoding ampicillin resistance gene. Effect of transfection was confirmed by confocal microscopy and by the isolation of the plasmid by agarose gel electrophoresis from the transfected bacterial culture. This study clearly demonstrates the efficacy of BSA‐NPs as delivery vehicle for pDNA transfection. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Developmental regulation of the cysteine-rich outer-membrane proteins of murine Chlamydia trachomatis 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The developmental cycle of the obligate intracellular prokaryote Chlamydia trachomatis involves the serial alternation of two distinct morphological forms of the organism. To examine the basis of chlamydial differentiation we have searched for developmentally regulated gene products in this species. Chlamydia-infected cells were pulse-labelled with [35S] cysteine at various stages of development and the products of synthesis examined by SDS-PAGE. Our results indicate that the synthesis of the cysteine-rich outer-membrane proteins is developmentally regulated, occurring only late in the cycle during the conversion of reticulate bodies to elementary bodies. Both hydroxyurea and ampicillin block this conversion; as a result of this blockade the cysteine-rich outer-membrane proteins are not produced in the presence of either drug. 相似文献

Intravenous inoculation of a group A hemolytic streptococcus caused lethal infections in all of 11 untreated monkeys. Daily intragastric administration of either 25 or 50 mg per kg per day, given in two equal morning and afternoon doses, yielded similar results in monkeys treated with cephalexin, penicillin V, and ampicillin; all eight monkeys in each therapy group survived. At dose levels of 12.5 mg per kg per day, six of eight, four of eight, and one of eight receiving cephalexin, penicillin V, and ampicillin, respectively, died. The differences observed at the lower dose level between cephalexin and ampicillin could be attributed, in part, to differences in the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of cephalexin (MIC = 0.24 mug/ml) and ampicillin (MIC = 0.01 mug/ml). The differences in results between penicillin V, which had the same MIC as ampicillin, could perhaps be attributed, in part, to shorter duration of antibacterial activity and higher protein binding of penicillin V. These studies support previous observations that cephalexin at 25 to 50 mg/kg doses is effective in severe streptococcal sepsis in monkeys. 相似文献

Two essentially isogenic strains of Escherichia coli K-12 were compared: D31 had chromosomally and D1-R1 episomally mediated resistance to ampicillin. The two strains had the same ability to form colonies on ampicillin plates, but in other tests they were quite different. In serial dilution tests as well as in exponentially growing cultures, D1-R1 was far more resistant to ampicillin than was D31. The inoculum effect with D1-R1 was large and with D31 was rather small. On plates, D31 was more resistant to penicillin G than was D1-R1. The penicillinase activity of buffer suspended cells against dl-ampicillin was 15 times higher for D1-R1 than for D31, but the two strains showed about the same rate of hydrolysis of penicillin G. With dl-ampicillin as substrate, for D1-R1 the apparent K(m) was 1.7 x 10(-4)m, whereas D31 gave a slightly sigmoid curve with a half-saturation concentration of about 5 x 10(-3)m. No induction of penicillinase activity was found. When the growth rate was varied by a factor of four, the amount of penicillinase per cell mass was constant in both D1-R1 and D31, whereas in two wild-type strains the amounts of penicillinase increased with increasing growth rates. With exponentially growing D1-R1, ampicillin disappearance started within 3 min, but at low ampicillin concentrations the rate was less than 10% of the rate of hydrolysis by buffer-suspended cells. Before D31 started hydrolysis, there was a lag period that lasted at least one generation and depended on the concentration of ampicillin. After this lag period, the rate of hydrolysis was 10 times higher than that observed with buffer-suspended cells. These differences between growing and nongrowing cells indicate that both the chromosomally and the episomally mediated penicillinases are controlled by some products present in growing cells. 相似文献

Summary The EcoRI digestion products of phage T4 DNA have been examined using a phage DNA transformation assay. A 2.6x106 Dalton fragment was found to contain the rII genes. This fragment was purified and then treated with HindIII endonuclease. The cleavage products were ligated to the vector plasmid pBR313 and viable recombinant plasmids recovered. A genetic assay was employed to demonstrate that the recombinants contained T4 DNA and to localize on the phage genetic map the EcoRI and HindIII sites cleaved during the construction of the plasmids. Preliminary characterization suggests that a fragment covering the beginning of the rIIA gene possibly contains a promotor which is active in uninfected cells.Abbreviations used Ap

The purpose of this work was to study the effects of crystal structure on the solid-state photoluminescence of the trihydrate
phases of ampicillin and amoxicillin, and to contrast these spectra with analogous spectra obtained on the molecules dissolved
in a solution phase. The polymorphic identity of the analytes was established using x-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform
infrared absorption spectroscopy, and the solid-state luminescence spectra obtained under ambient conditions. It was found
that the solid-state excitation and emission spectra of ampicillin trihydrate and amoxicillin trihydrate were dominated by
energy transfer and exciton effects, which were manifested as decreases in the energy of the excitation and emission bands
of the solid-state systems relative to those of the free molecule in solution. The photoluminescence data revealed that in
spite of the known structural similarity of ampicillin trihydrate and amoxicillin trihydrate, the magnitude of the Davydov
splitting, and the degree of band energy shifting differed between the 2 systems. This finding indicates that the small differences
in crystal structure existing between the 2 compounds leads to measurable differences in the patterns of energy transfer.

To determine whether oxytetracycline hydrochloride and the sodium salt of ampicillin have any adverse effects on the rat intestine, enteric enzyme levels and glucose transport rates were measured in vitro in rats. The intestinal transport of glucose did not differ significantly between control animals and those pretreated with ampicillin. For animals pretreated with oxytetracycline, the transport rates were significantly lower than those for the control group. The difference between the ampicillin and oxytetracycline groups, however, was not statistically significant. No significant differences in enteric levels of sucrase and maltase activity were found between any of the groups. The possibility that some antimicrobial agents may interfere with the absorption of nutrients suggested the need for caution in using these drugs in experimental animals. 相似文献

The feasibility of using a beta-lactamase fusion approach for maximizing the levels of periplasmic or membrane-bound proteins expressed in Escherichia coli was investigated. The coding region for mature TEM beta-lactamase was fused after the signal peptide and aminoterminal portion of the coding region of a weakly expressed periplasmic protein, PBP3*. The resultant plasmid was mutagenized and transformants expressing increased levels of ampicillin resistance were selected. The PBP3* gene of the unmutagenized beta-lactamase fusion plasmid, and of two mutant derivatives encoding increased ampicillin resistance, were then reassembled and the latter constructs were found to express increased levels of PBP3*. The applications of a beta-lactamase fusion approach in monitoring and optimizing levels of extracytoplasmic gene products expressed in E. coli are considered. 相似文献

The Red recombinase system of bacteriophage Lambda has been used to inactivate chromosomal genes in bacteria using PCR products. In this study, we describe the replacement of the ampicillin resistance marker of helper plasmids pKD46 and pCP20 by a gentamicin resistance gene to disrupt chromosomal genes and then to eliminate FRT flanked resistance gene in multiple antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica strains. 相似文献

Augmentin is a new combination manufactured by Smith Kline Beecham (Great Britain). It is composed of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid and has antibacterial activity. Augmentin was used in clinical trials in the therapy of 50 adult patients with suppurations after surgical operations on the organs of the abdominal cavity, general staphylococcal infections, pneumonia and prophylactically during the preoperative period. It was also used in the treatment of 30 children patients with bronchopulmonary affections and inflammatory otorhinolaryngological diseases. The clinical trials were performed in the Clinic of Infectious Diseases of the N. G. Gabrichevski? Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. For comparison ampicillin was used in the trials. Augmentin was shown to be an efficient formulation with antibacterial activity which could be successfully used in the parenteral therapy of severe affections due to organisms sensitive to it. In the treatment of the children patients with pneumonia augmentin by its therapeutic efficacy proved to be superior to ampicillin. The tolerance of augmentin was good. 相似文献

Results of the use of ampicillin, penicillin G and symptomatic therapy in the treatment of acute otitis media in 142 children were compared. Antibiotic therapy conveyed significant benefit. No major differences were observed between penicillin and ampicillin, except in the age group under 3 years where ampicillin was associated with the best results. Ampicillin appears to be the drug of choice. Its superiority over symptomatic therapy was statistically significant. Long-term sequelae were not observed in any of the three treatment groups. The relative merits of erythromycin and ampicillin require further study. 相似文献

A survey of antibiotic resistance in Haemophilus influenzae was carried out in the United Kingdom with 25 laboratories participating. The incidence of resistance in the 1841 strains examined was: tetracycline 3.1%, ampicillin 6.2%, chloramphenicol 1.03%, trimethoprim 1.4%, and sulphamethoxazole 1.5%. Of the 115 strains resistant to ampicillin, 106 produced beta-lactamase. Seventy-nine strains were capsulate, none of which was chloramphenicol resistant, but nine produced beta-lactamase (11.4%). Comparison of these figures of antibiotic resistance with those from a similar survey performed in 1977 showed a significant increase in resistance of H influenzae to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim. 相似文献

Collections of 589 human and 204 animal strains of Salmonella isolated in Ontario during the summer of1974 were examined for susceptibility to 12 antimicrobial agents. Many isolates were found to be resistant to both chloramphenicol (12.4% of the human and 38.2% of the animal sample) and ampicillin. The chloramphenicol resistance almost always occurred in strains which were also resistant to ampicillin and was usually due to a self-transmissible plasmid with a resistance pattern of CmKmSmTc (chloramphenicol, kanamycin, streptomycin, and tetracycline) or CmTc. Ampicillin resistance in these strains was mediated by a variety of plasmids with patterns ApSu (ampicillin and sulfa drugs) and ApSmSu, many of which were nonself-transmissible. Ampicillin resistance in chloramphenicol-sensitive strains was transferable from 21% of the strains, and it was associated with resistance patterns which were different from the self-transferable ampicillin patterns from the chloramphenicol-resistance strains. 相似文献

The results of using ampicillin in treatment of 54 gonorrhea patients (41 males and 13 females) previously treated with other antibiotics without success are presented. Ampicillin was used in a daily dose of 500 mg administered 5 times a day at equal intervals and an 8-hour interval during the night time. The course dose was 6--10 g. Patients with chronic and fresh gonorrhea with insignificantly pronounced symptoms were subjected to immunotherapy before the treatment with ampicillin. Pure gonococcal strains sensitive to ampicillin were isolated from 16 patients before the ampicillin use. Clinical improvement after the treatment with ampicillin in most of the patients was observed by the end of the 1st day and was evident from elimination of the urethral discharges, absence of urination colics and urea clarification. Etiological recovery was recorded in all the gonorrhea patients due to the treatment with ampicillin. All the patients were crossed off the register. The clinical and laboratory investigations showed high efficiency of ampicillin in treatment of gonorrhea relapses. The antibiotic is rapidly absorbed into the blood. Its therapeutic blood levels are maintained during 24 hours. It is well tolerated by the patients. 相似文献

Remsima? (infliximab) is the first biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved by the European Medical Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration. Remsima? is highly similar to its reference product, Remicade®, with identical formulation components. The 2 products, however, are not identical; Remsima? has higher levels of soluble aggregates, C-terminal lysine truncation, and fucosylated glycans. To understand if these attribute differences could be amplified during forced degradation, solutions and lyophilized powders of the 2 products were subjected to stress at elevated temperature (40–60°C) and humidity (dry-97% relative humidity). Stress-induced aggregation and degradation profiles were similar for the 2 products and resulted in loss of infliximab binding to tumor necrosis factor and FcγRIIIa. Appearances of protein aggregates and hydrolysis products were time- and humidity-dependent, with similar degradation rates observed for the reference and biosimilar products. Protein powder incubations at 40°C/97% relative humidity resulted in partial mAb unfolding and increased asparagine deamidation. Minor differences in heat capacity, fluorescence, levels of subvisible particulates, deamidation and protein fragments were observed in the 2 stressed products, but these differences were not statistically significant. The protein solution instability at 60°C, although quite significant, was also similar for both products. Despite the small initial analytical differences, Remicade® and Remsima? displayed similar degradation mechanisms and kinetics. Thus, our results show that the 2 products are highly similar and infliximab's primary sequence largely defines their protein instabilities compared with the limited influence of small initial purity and glycosylation differences in the 2 products. 相似文献

Coxiella burnetii can be transformed to ampicillin resistance by electroporation with plasmids encoding beta-lactamase. However, non-plasmid emergence of resistance to ampicillin also develops. To validate the usefulness of the bla gene marker for selection and detection, transformed C. burnetii were examined for beta-lactamase expression by use of immunoblotting after SDS-PAGE. The 29-kDa mature form of the beta-lactamase protein was detected in C. burnetii lysates. Quantitation of these immunoblot signals showed that C. burnetii surprisingly expressed low levels of beta-lactamase. The results validate the use of plasmid-encoded ampicillin resistance as a means for selecting C. burnetii transformants; they also suggest that levels of ampicillin used for selection pressure should be empirically determined and that detection of beta-lactamase by antibody blotting done to confirm transformants. 相似文献
