Molecular epidemiology of fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli bloodstream isolates from patients admitted to European...
Previous reports have suggested an increasing incidence of highly fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli causing bacteremia among cancer patients on prophylactic therapy. We used genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA digests and random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting to study clonal relationships among such isolates obtained at 10 cancer centers located across Europe and the Middle East. Analysis by both methods indicated that isolates from different centers were genotypically unrelated to each other. There were five centers from which more than one individual patient isolate was available, and most demonstrated significant within-center genetic diversity of strains. Strains shared among patients could be identified at two centers. At the center with the largest number of bloodstream isolates from cancer patients available, fluoroquinolone-resistant control isolates from surgical patients and fluoroquinolone-susceptible control isolates from patients ...
New Fluoroquinolones: A Class of Potent Antibiotics | BenthamScience
Title: New Fluoroquinolones: A Class of Potent Antibiotics. VOLUME: 5 ISSUE: 11. Author(s):Marcus V. N. De Souza. Affiliation:FioCruz-Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, Instituto de Tecnologia em Farmacos-Far-Manguinhos, Rua Sizenando Nabuco, 100, Manguinhos, 21041-250 - Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil.. Keywords:fluoroquinolones, fluorine, microbiological activity, antibiotics. Abstract: The discovery of antibiotics opened a new era in the treatment against several pathogenic microorganisms that can disable or kill humans. The appearance of the fluoroquinolones (based on nalidixic acid, 4-quinolone-3-carboxylates), in the early 1980s, gave a new impetus in the treatment of infectious diseases. Despite these favourable properties, the earlier fluoroquinolones had limited potency against some clinically important organisms, especially Gram-positive pathogens so that the development of resistance to these organisms has become a serious problem. Thus the development of new fluoroquinolones with a better ...

The in vitro activity of a novel 8-methoxyquinolone, BAY 12-8039, against recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (n = 404), Haemophilus influenzae (n = 330), and Moraxella catarrhalis (n = 250) was evaluated. Activity was compared to those of six other fluoroquinolones: ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, sparfloxacin and trovafloxacin. BAY 12-8039 and clinafloxacin had the highest levels of activity against S. pneumoniae, both with a MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited (MIC90) of 0.06 microg/ml. Trovafloxacin and sparfloxacin were the next most active agents versus S. pneumoniae (MIC90s = 0.12 microg/ml). No differences in activity against penicillin-susceptible, -intermediate, or -resistant strains of S. pneumoniae were noted for any of the fluoroquinolones tested. MIC90s for the seven fluoroquinolones ranged from 0.008 to 0.06 microg/ml versus H. influenzae and from 0.008 to 0.12 microg/ml for M. catarrhalis. The MICs for two strains of S. ...
New Study: Fluoroquinolones May Contribute to Aortic Aneurysms | Lopez McHugh LLP
In addition to showing an association between fluoroquinolones and tendon rupture, a new study published by BMJ Open also finds that the popular antibiotics may contribute to aortic aneurysms. Researchers analyzed data from over 1.7 million older adults and observed roughly tripled incidences of tendon rupture and aortic aneurysms in those who took fluoroquinolone (FLQs).. Fluoroquinolones are a widely prescribed type of broad-spectrum antibiotics, used primarily in treating urinary and respiratory infections. Despite their popularity, FLQs have been linked to various severe health complications, such as tendon rupture and nerve damage. Recently, an MDL was established in Minnesota to handle federal fluoroquinolone lawsuits. Over 200 plaintiffs who have filed fluoroquinolone lawsuits claim they or a loved one suffered serious nerve damage, called peripheral neuropathy, after taking a fluoroquinolone.. Canadian researchers behind the new study sought to confirm an already well-documented link ...
Grepafloxacin - Wikipedia
Grepafloxacin hydrochloride (trade name Raxar, Glaxo Wellcome) was an oral broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent used to treat bacterial infections. Grepafloxacin was withdrawn worldwide from markets in 1999, owing to its side effect of lengthening the QT interval on the electrocardiogram, leading to cardiac events and sudden death. Grepafloxacin was used for treating exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by susceptible bacteria (e.g. Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis), community-acquired pneumonia (including those, in addition to the above germs, caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae) gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis (for example caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum). The preparation of quinolones bearing a substituent at position 5 is complicated by the greater electrophilic character of the 8 position. One scheme for resolving the problem consists in blocking access to position 8 by first adding a ...
Declining susceptibilities of gram-negative bacteria to the fluoroquinolones: Effects on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics,...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Declining susceptibilities of gram-negative bacteria to the fluoroquinolones. T2 - Effects on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical outcomes. AU - Labreche, Matthew J.. AU - Frei, Chris. PY - 2012/11/1. Y1 - 2012/11/1. N2 - Purpose. Published evidence of rising gram-negative bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolone therapy is reviewed, with a focus on the potential need for revising pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) targets in order to maintain acceptable clinical outcomes. Summary. With a more than threefold increase in fluoroquinolone use among U.S. adults since the introduction of second- and third-generation (i.e., respiratory) fluoroquinolones 15 years ago, surveillance data indicate a decline in some gram-negative organisms susceptibility to this antimicrobial class. These trends have raised concerns that the need to attain higher organism-specific minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) may lead to worse patient outcomes, even when MIC values are below ...

Fluoroquinolone resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in United States since 1994-1995. - Immunology
The in vitro activities of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, and moxifloxacin against a large collection of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (n = 4,650) obtained over a 5-year period, 1994-1995 through 1999-2000, were assessed as part of a longitudinal multicenter U.S. surveillance study of antimicrobial resistance. Three sampling periods were used during this investigation, the winter seasons of 1994-1995, 1997-1998, and 1999-2000; and 1,523, 1,596 and 1,531 isolates were collected during these three periods, respectively. The overall rank order of activity of the four fluoroquinolones examined in this study was moxifloxacin | gatifloxacin | levofloxacin = ciprofloxacin, in which moxifloxacin (MIC at which 90% of isolates are inhibited [MIC(90)], 0.25 microg/ml; modal MIC, 0.12 microg/ml) was twofold more active than gatifloxacin (MIC(90), 0.5 microg/ml; modal MIC, 0.25 microg/ml), which in turn was fourfold more active than either levofloxacin (MIC(90), 1 microg/ml; modal MIC, 1
Mutant prevention concentrations of pradofloxacin for susceptible and mutant strains of Escherichia coli with reduced...
Pharmacodynamic and mutant prevention properties of the fluoroquinolone pradofloxacin (PRA) were measured against a set of 17 Escherichia coli strains carrying no, one or two known mutations conferring reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility. The strains included susceptible wild-types, isogenic constructed mutants, isogenic selected mutants and clinical isolates. The effectiveness of PRA was determined with regard to preventing the selection of resistant mutants, using static and changing concentrations of drug. Ciprofloxacin was used as a reference drug. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and mutant prevention concentrations (MPCs) of PRA for the susceptible wild-type strains were in the range 0.012-0.016 mg/L and 0.2-0.3 mg/L, respectively, giving a mean +/- standard deviation mutant prevention index (MPI=MPC/MIC) of 17.7 +/- 1.1. The mean MPI PRA of the 14 mutant strains was 19.2 +/- 12, and the mean MPI across all 17 strains was 18.9 +/- 10.8. In an in vitro kinetic model in which PRA ...
A novel method to discover fluoroquinolone antibiotic resistance (qnr) genes in fragmented nucleotide sequences | BMC Genomics ...
Qnr genes provide resistance to broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotics and can move between bacteria using horizontal gene transfer. However, the total number of qnr classes and their diversity in environmental bacterial communities is not clear. We therefore developed a novel method to identify new classes of qnr genes in fragmented metagenomic data. The method uses a hidden Markov model (HMM) to identify candidate qnr fragments which are then further classified based on their model score and sequence length. Cross-validation confirmed that the method had a high sensitivity and specificity to detect fragments from novel classes of known qnr genes, even at fragments as short as 33 amino acid residues. This makes the method applicable to many forms of nucleotide data, including sequences generated by next-generation DNA sequencers. From public sequence repositories the method classified 1733 sequence fragments (3.6 × 10-4%) as qnr, which were further clustered into 475 groups. The method ...
AN IN SILICO STUDY OF NOVEL FLUOROQUINOLONES AS INHIBITORS OF DNA GYRASE OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS | International...
Objective: This study is an attempt to identifying an effective fluoroquinolones (FQ) s against STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (S. aureus) by in silico analysis of 150 (FQ) compounds using iGemDock v2.1 tool.. Methods: Structure of DNA gyrase (2XCT) was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the structures of (FQ) compounds were selected from literature survey of 400 novel compounds and the physical, chemical and molecular characteristics of each compound were obeyed for drug-relevant properties based on Lipinskis rule of five, then a total of 150 (FQ)s were docked against the protein of the 2XCT enzyme.. Results: From this study, it was found that the compound (1) [(3R,7E)-9-fluoro-7-(isonicotinoylhydrazono)-3-methyl-10-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid] and the compound (2) [1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-{4-[(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methyl]piperazin-1-yl}-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid] showed the best interaction value against ...
Fluoride Action Network | FDA updates warnings for fluoroquinolone antibiotics
Limits use for acute bacterial sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and uncomplicated urinary tract infections. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved safety labeling changes for a class of antibiotics, called fluoroquinolones, to enhance warnings about their association with disabling and potentially permanent side effects and to limit their use in patients with less serious bacterial infections.. Fluoroquinolones have risks and benefits that should be considered very carefully, said Edward Cox, M.D., director of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Its important that both health care providers and patients are aware of both the risks and benefits of fluoroquinolones and make an informed decision about their use.. Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics that kill or stop the growth of bacteria. While these drugs are effective in treating serious bacterial infections, an FDA safety review found that both ...
Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Enteric Bacteria in Sub-Saharan Africa: Clones, Implications and Research Needs - Surrey Research...
Fluoroquinolones came into widespread use in African countries in the early 2000s, after patents for the first generation of these drugs expired. By that time, quinolone antibacterial agents had been used intensively worldwide and resistant lineages of many bacterial species had evolved. We sought to understand which Gram negative enteric pandemic lineages have been reported from Africa, as well as the nature and transmission of any indigenous resistant clones. A systematic review of articles indexed in the Medline and AJOL literature databases was conducted. We report on the findings of 43 eligible studies documenting local or pandemic fluoroquinolone-resistant enteric clones in sub-Sahara African countries. Most reports are of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella and Escherichia coli lineages and there have been three reports of cholera outbreaks caused by fluoroquinolone-resistant Vibrio cholerae O1. Fluoroquinolone-resistant clones have also been reported from commensals and animal isolates but ...

US FDA updates warning against widespread use of fluoroquinolones | Ultra News
While these drugs are effective in treating serious bacterial infections, FDA review found that both oral and injectable fluroquinolones are associated with disabling side effects involving the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves and the central nervous system. These side effects can occur hours to weeks after exposure to fluoroquinolones and may potentially be permanent, FDA said.. The drug already has black-box warnings for its side effects and other warnings related to nervous damage, muscle weakness and fatigue.. A black box warning is the strictest warning put in the labeling of prescription drugs or drug products by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when there is reasonable evidence of an association of a serious hazard with the drug.. The fluoroquinolones which are sold in the market are velox (Moxifloxacin), Cipro (Ciprofloxacin), Factive (Gemifloxacin), Levaquin (Levofloxacin) and generic Ofloxacin.. In India, these drugs are available in their generic forms and are marketed by most ...
Evaluation of co-transfer of plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance genes and bla NDM gene in Enterobacteriaceae causing...
The blaNDM-1 (New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase-1) gene has disseminated around the globe. NDM-1 producers are found to co-harbour resistance genes against many antimicrobials, including fluoroquinolones. The spread of large plasmids, carrying both blaNDM and plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance (PMQR) markers, is one of the main reasons for the failure of these essential antimicrobials. Enterobacteriaceae (n = 73) isolated from the blood of septicaemic neonates, admitted at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Kolkata, India, were identified followed by PFGE, antibiotic susceptibility testing and determination of MIC values for meropenem and ciprofloxacin. Metallo-β-lactamases and PMQRs were identified by PCR. NDM-positive isolates were studied for mutations in GyrA & ParC and for co-transmission of blaNDM and PMQR genes (aac(6′)-Ib-cr, qnrB, qnrS) through conjugation or transformation. Plasmid types, integrons, plasmid addiction systems, and genetic environment of the blaNDM gene in NDM
Mutation Rate and Evolution of Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates from Patients with Urinary tract...
The emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria world wide is a serious problem, and very few new drugs are under development. The selection of resistant bacteria is affected by factors such as mutation rate, biological fitness cost and the rate of fitness compensation. This thesis is focused on how mutation rate affects resistance to fluoroquinolones and on exploring a dosing strategy that might slow resistance development. In a set of urinary tract Escherichia coli isolates MIC values above the breakpoint for the fluoroquinolones norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin carried at least three resistance-associated mutations. In these isolates the number of resistance mutations correlated with the mutation rate. During step-wise selection for decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, the accumulation of mutations in E. coli was associated with an increasing biological cost both in vitro and in vivo. However, in some lineages an additional selection step for resistance was associated with a partial ...
Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics Classification, Uses and Side Effects
CNS effects. Headache, dizziness, and drowsiness have been reported with all fluoroquinolones. Insomnia was reported in 3-7% of patients with ofloxacin. Severe CNS effects, including seizures, have been reported in patients receiving trovafloxacin. Seizures may develop within 3 to 4 days of therapy but resolve with drug discontinuation. Although seizures are infrequent, fluoroquinolones should be avoided in patients with a history of convulsion, cerebral trauma, or anoxia. No seizures have been reported with levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, and gemifloxacin. With the older non-fluorinated quinolones neurotoxic symptoms such as dizziness occurred in about 50% of the patients ...

Fluoroquinolones: Focus on Safety
The most common side effects of all fluoroquinolones are GI-related and include nausea, anorexia, and dyspepsia.4 Dermatologic adverse effects also may occur, either with initial (within a few hours) or previous exposure to these drugs.7 The degree of severity ranges from mild erythema to extensive bullous lesions. Phototoxicity Severe phototoxic reactions, consisting of second-degree burns that have required hospitalization, have occurred with sparfloxacin. Exposure to ultraviolet A rays from direct or indirect sunlight should be avoided during treatment and several days (5 days with sparfloxacin) after the use of the drug.8 The degree of phototoxic potential of fluoroquinolones is as follows: lomefloxacin , sparfloxacin , ciprofloxacin or grepafloxacin.4 Photosensitive reactions have been reported in 2.3% of patients receiving lomefloxacin, and recovery may take several weeks.9 The risk of phototoxicity with other fluoroquinolones, including the recently approved gemifloxacin, is limited.

Fitness benefits in fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella Typhi in the absence of antimicrobial pressure - Nuffield Department...
|jats:p|Fluoroquinolones (FQ) are the recommended antimicrobial treatment for typhoid, a severe systemic infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. FQ-resistance mutations in S. Typhi have become common, hindering treatment and control efforts. Using in vitro competition experiments, we assayed the fitness of eleven isogenic S. Typhi strains with resistance mutations in the FQ target genes, gyrA and parC. In the absence of antimicrobial pressure, 6 out of 11 mutants carried a selective advantage over the antimicrobial-sensitive parent strain, indicating that FQ resistance in S. Typhi is not typically associated with fitness costs. Double-mutants exhibited higher than expected fitness as a result of synergistic epistasis, signifying that epistasis may be a critical factor in the evolution and molecular epidemiology of S. Typhi. Our findings have important implications for the management of drug-resistant S. Typhi, suggesting that FQ-resistant strains would be naturally
Trovafloxacin QuickView - Correlation Engine
Trovafloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic that inhibits DNA supercoiling in various bacteria by blocking the activity of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It is not used widely due to the risk of hepatotoxicity. It tends to have better gram-positive bacterial coverage and less gram-negative coverage than the previous fluoroquinolones. Mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones including trovafloxacin is different from that of penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines. Therefore fluoroquinolones may be active against pathogens that are resistant to these antibiotics. There is no cross-resistance between trovafloxacin and the mentioned classes of antibiotics. The overall results obtained from in vitro synergy studies, testing combinations of trovafloxacin with beta-lactams and aminoglycosides, indicate that synergy is strain specific and not commonly encountered. This agrees with results obtained previously with other fluoroquinolones. Resistance to trovafloxacin ...
Gemfibrozil enhances the listeriacidal effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in J774 macrophages. | Journal of Experimental...
J774 macrophage-like cells express organic anion transporters that promote the efflux of fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as norfloxacin (NFX) from these cells. Gemfibrozil (GFZ) blocks organic anion transport in J774 cells, thereby facilitating the intracellular accumulation of NFX (Cao, C., H.C. Neu, and S.C. Silverstein. 1991. J. Cell Biol. 115:467a [Abstr.]). To determine whether GFZ enhances the efficacy of fluoroquinolone antibiotics against intracellular bacterial pathogens, J774 cells were infected with Listeria monocytogenes and incubated in medium containing a fluoroquinolone antibiotic in the presence or absence of GFZ. Intracellular growth of L. monocytogenes was evaluated by lysing J774 cells and assaying for colony-forming units of Listeria. GFZ intensified the bacteriostatic effect of 4 micrograms/ml NFX and rendered 8 micrograms/ml bactericidal for L. monocytogenes.

Investigations into quinolone and fluoroquinolone resistance in Salmonella enterica - Enlighten: Theses
Infections with Salmonella enterica usually present as a self-limiting diarrhoeal disease. Occasionally, antimicrobial intervention is required for invasive infection or patients with underlying disease or at the extremities of age. In adults the therapeutic agents of choice are the fluoroquinolones, especially ciprofloxacin, which is also used in addition to third generation cephalosporins in children. Fluoroquinolone resistance is rare and is mostly detected in strains associated with foreign travel. Nevertheless, reports from around the world describing treatment failures with these drugs in nalidixic acid-resistant isolates have been increasing. To determine the levels of fluoroquinolone resistance in Scotland from 1990-2000, this study examined a collection of 180 isolates of Salmonella enterica isolated from human, veterinary and environmental sources. These were characterised using the genotypic methods of Plasmid Profile Analysis and Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis and levels of ...
Exploring the contribution of efflux on the resistance to fluoroquinolones in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance mediated by efflux systems is still poorly characterized in Staphylococcus aureus, despite the description of several efflux pumps (EPs) for this bacterium. In this work we used several methodologies to characterize the efflux activity of 52 S. aureus isolates resistant to ciprofloxacin collected in a hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, in order to understand the role played by these systems in the resistance to fluoroquinolones. Results Augmented efflux activity was detected in 12 out of 52 isolates and correlated with increased resistance to fluoroquinolones. Addition of efflux inhibitors did not result in the full reversion of the fluoroquinolone resistance phenotype, yet it implied a significant decrease in the resistance levels, regardless of the type(s) of mutation(s) found in the quinolone-resistance determining region of grlA and gyrA genes, which accounted for the remaining resistance that was not efflux-mediated. Expression analysis of the genes ...
Dissecting the molecular evolution of fluoroquinolone-resistant Shigella sonnei | Nature Communications
Shigella sonnei increasingly dominates the international epidemiological landscape of shigellosis. Treatment options for S. sonnei are dwindling due to resistance to several key antimicrobials, including the fluoroquinolones. Here we analyse nearly 400 S. sonnei whole genome sequences from both endemic and non-endemic regions to delineate the evolutionary history of the recently emergent fluoroquinolone-resistant S. sonnei. We reaffirm that extant resistant organisms belong to a single clonal expansion event. Our results indicate that sequential accumulation of defining mutations (gyrA-S83L, parC-S80I, and gyrA-D87G) led to the emergence of the fluoroquinolone-resistant S. sonnei population around 2007 in South Asia. This clone was then transmitted globally, resulting in establishments in Southeast Asia and Europe. Mutation analysis suggests that the clone became dominant through enhanced adaptation to oxidative stress. Experimental evolution reveals that under fluoroquinolone exposure in vitro,
Resistance Mutations in gyrA and parC are Common in Escherichia Communities of both Fluoroquinolone-Polluted and Uncontaminated...
Alterations in the target proteins of fluoroquinolones, especially in GyrA and ParC, are known to cause resistance. Here, we investigated environmental Escherichia communities to explore the possible link between the abundance of mutations, and the exposure to fluoroquinolones. Sediment samples were collected from a relatively pristine lake, up and downstream from a sewage treatment plant, and from several industrially polluted sites. The quinolone resistance-determining regions of gyrA and parC were analyzed using amplicon sequencing of metagenomic DNA. Five non-synonymous substitutions were present in all samples, and all of these mutations have been previously linked to fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli. In GyrA, substitutions S83L and D87N were on average detected at frequencies of 86 and 32%, respectively, and 31% of all amplicons encoded both substitutions. In ParC, substitutions S80I, E84G, and E84V were detected in 42, 0.9, and 6.0% of the amplicons, respectively, and 6.5% ...
Risk Factors for Fluoroquinolone Damage - Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Research
While this study was specifically for peripheral neuropathy, we find that the normal doctor-stated risk factors simply do not have any validity with the Fluoroquinolones. Young, healthy people get FQ toxicity, and Even Athletes Might Be At Risk for Fluoroquinolone Toxicity.. In fact, another study showed that of all of the cases of tendon rupture associated with the Fluoroquinolones were in young people, More than 69% of total cases of Achilles tendon rupture were men with a mean age of 48 years2. This while the medical literature is claiming that only people over 60 are at risk! But that is both factually incorrect as well as meaningless, since doctors rarely, if ever, decide to forego giving a Fluoroquinolone drug to someone over 60 regardless of risk factors.. In our experience and from what other studies on the incidence of side effects have shown, we feel that medical science needs to look into new risk factors for Fluoroquinolone toxicity and ensure adequate interviews and testing are ...
High fluoroquinolone MIC is associated with fluoroquinolone treatment failure in urinary tract infections caused by...
Based on data from our study, the FQ treatment failure rate was only 0.8% in the low MIC group and 6.9% in the high MIC group. Although the failure rate was not high, the patients with high MIC-FQSEC UTIs was seven times more likely to experience treatment failure after adjusting for underlying cerebrovascular disease.. Based on this finding, FQ therapy should be carefully given to only FQSEC-UTI cases with a low risk for reduced FQ susceptibility. Use a higher dose of FQ may resolve this problem. However, the US Food and Drug Administration has recently advised to avoid FQ therapy for mild conditions including uncomplicated UTIs because of its serious side effects. FQs should be reserved for only those who do not have alternative treatment options.. We believe that our study has several strengths. First, our study definition to identify ambulatory FQSEC UTIs has shown promising discrimination ability in our pilot study (87.8% sensitivity and 85.7% specificity). For this reason, only patients ...
Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics in a Hospital Sewage Line; Occurrence, Distribution and Impact on Bacterial Resistance
In hospital sewage lines, human faecal bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, posing a risk for selection of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. We constructed a system for continuous sampling in a hospital sewage line that allowed us to study longitudinal establishment of bacteria, concentrations of antibiotics, and selection of bacterial resistance in waste water, sediment and biofilm. The focus in this study was on fluoroquinolones, a widely used group of antibiotics with increasing resistance problems. We found low levels of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin in waste water but high concentrations in sediment. Despite the high levels of fluoroquinolones bound to sediment, we did not find any development of resistance against fluoroquinolones in Enterobacteriacae spp. and faecal enterococci isolated from sediment.. ...

Results 23S rRNA gene PCR sequencing revealed that 82.4% (61/74) of specimens harboured a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with macrolide resistance. Differences were observed between the rates of predicted macrolide resistance in male (95.1% (58/61)) and female (23.1% (3/13)) patients (P = ,0.001). By contrast, all specimens for which sequencing data were available (73/74) yielded wild-type gyrA sequences; and 58/61 (95.1%) had wild-type parC genes. Three specimens (3/61 4.9%) had SNPs in the parC gene associated with fluoroquinolone treatment failure, and all three also had predicted resistance to macrolides. ...
Surface interactions and degradation of a fluoroquinolone antibiotic in the dark in aqueous TiO2 suspensions (Journal Article) ...
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are important drugs used in human and veterinary medicine. Their detection in natural waters and waste water treatment plants, along with increased resistance to FQs among some bacteria, have generated an increased interest in the fate of these drugs in the environment. Partitioning of FQs between an aqueous solution and attendant substrates depends, in part, on the surface reactivity of the adsorbent, commonly a function of particle size, surface charge, and functional groups. In this paper, this study investigated the surface interactions between the FQ drug ofloxacin (OFL) and titanium oxide (TiO 2), a common catalyst and widely-observed constituent in many consumer products. Raman and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, as well as LC/MS, were used to determine the OFL moieties present on TiO 2 surfaces and in attendant solutions. Raman spectra indicate that the C==O (ketone) group of the quinolone core, the NH + of the piperazinyl ring, and CH 3 of ...

Six reasons to avoid fluoroquinolones in the critically ill - 60 Second EM
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics already carry warnings about the risks of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, tendonitis and tendon rupture as well as central nervous system effects, including peripheral neuropathy and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. The FDA had recently updated the labels to state that the serious risks posed by fluoroquinolones generally outweigh their benefits for patients with sinusitis, bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections that are treatable by other means.. Here is an informative article posted today Dr.Josh Farkas on PulmCrit (EMCrit).. ...
Floxin® Lawsuit | Floxin Lawyer, Attorney
Floxin and other fluoroquinolone antibiotics were linked to higher rates of aortic aneurysms in two recent studies. Researchers warn that fluoroquinolones can damage collagen and connective tissue, which could explain why increased risks were observed.. One study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine in October 2015, analyzed data on 150,000 people in Taiwan who used fluoroquinolones. Past users of fluoroquinolones were 50% more likely to develop an aortic aneurysm, and people who used the medications within 60 days were 2.4-times more likely.. In November 2015, the British Medical Journal published a study involving 650,000 people who used fluoroquinolone antibiotics and found a 3.1-fold increased risk of aortic aneurysms. ...

Fluoroquinolones and qnr … - University of Gothenburg, Sweden
There is increasing concern that environmental antibiotic pollution promotes transfer of resistance genes to the human microbiota. Here, fluoroquinolone-polluted river sediment, well water, irrigated farmland, and human fecal flora of local villagers within a pharmaceutical industrial region in India were analyzed for quinolone resistance (qnr) genes by quantitative PCR. Similar samples from Indian villages farther away from industrial areas, as well as fecal samples from Swedish study participants and river sediment from Sweden, were included for comparison. Fluoroquinolones were detected by MS/MS in well water and soil from all villages located within three km from industrially polluted waterways. Quinolone resistance genes were detected in 42% of well water, 7% of soil samples and in 100% and 18% of Indian and Swedish river sediments, respectively. High antibiotic concentrations in Indian sediment coincided with high abundances of qnr, whereas lower fluoroquinolone levels in well water and ...
Study Evaluates Antibiotic Option For Treating Bladder Infection In Women - Redorbit
Short-term use of the antibiotic cefpodoxime for the treatment of women with uncomplicated cystitis (bladder infection) did not meet criteria for noninferiority for achieving clinical cure compared with ciprofloxacin, a drug in the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics for which there have been concerns about overuse and a resulting increase in resistance rates, according to a study in the February 8 issue of JAMA. The criteria for noninferiority was if the efficacy of cefpodoxime had been shown to be within a pre-specified margin of 10 percent of the efficacy of ciprofloxacin.. Fluoroquinolones have high rates of efficacy and minimal adverse drug reactions when used in a 3-day regimen as recommended to treat uncomplicated cystitis. However, increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance among fluoroquinolones have been reported. To prevent further emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance, there are calls for restricting fluoroquinolones to those specific instances of uncomplicated cystitis when ...

The objectives of this study were to investigate antibiotic resistance in urinary pathogens from Korean patients with uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis (UAPN), and to determine the effect of fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance on clinical outcome in those patients with UAPN initially treated with FQ. Clinical and microbiologic data for all the APN patients attending 14 hospitals in South Korea in 2008 were collected retrospectively. Urinary pathogens were identified in 719 cases, and Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen (661/719, 91.9%). Antibiotic susceptibilities to several E. coli antibiotics were as follows: ciprofloxacin, 84.1%; trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazola (TMP-SMX), 67.2%; and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-negative, 92.4%. FQ was the most frequent antibiotic prescribed for UAPN (45.3% intravenously and 53.9% by mouth). We compared clinical outcomes and hospital days in patients with FQ-resistant (32) and FQ-sensitive E. coli (173) who received FQ as initial empirical therapy. ...

Sparfloxacin - Wikipedia
In a review of 2081 adult patients participating in a Phase III clinical trial of sparfloxacin in community-acquired, lower respiratory tract infections, sparfloxacin (200 or 400 mg loading dose then 100 or 200 mg daily; i.e. 200/100 mg and 400/200 mg) had a similar incidence of adverse events as the comparator agents (Rubinstein, 1996). The overall rates of drug-related adverse reactions for sparfloxacin 400/200 mg versus comparators and 200/100 mg versus the comparator (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) were 13.7 versus 17.7%, and 9.5 versus 13.2%, respectively. However, many of these reported reactions were very minor; discontinua- tion of the antibacterial agent because of drug-related adverse reactions occurred in 1.6 versus 1.6%, and 1) versus 1.1%, respectively. Adverse reactions affecting the nervous system were reported in 5.7% of the sparfloxacin group, with insomnia and other sleep disorders the most common events ...
British Library EThOS: Attempts to synthesise substituted quinolones as antibiotic targets using solid phase techniques
Quinolones, and especially fluoroquinolones, are one of the largest classes of antibacterial agents used worldwide. Thus, the risk of emerging resistance and toxicity increases the need for new and improved agents and synthesis methodologies. Solid phase organic synthesis has become an important technique in drug design. This research aimed to establish the advantages of solid phase syntheses in the preparation of fluoroquinolones antibacterial agents. In the present investigation, several trials using both solution and solid phase syntheses were attempted for the preparation of fluoroquinolones using the Vilsmeier reaction. Merrifield resin and p-nitrophenyl carbonate Wang resin were used in the solid phase synthesis. A number of fluoro- and non-fluoro compounds were investigated, along with a wide range of catalysts and conditions. The Vilsmeier approach had limited applicability in quinolone synthesis. On the other hand, the Vilsmeier reaction with oxalyl chloride produced a dimer product ...

Homosexuality and Gonorrhea - Conservapedia
CDC conducted sentinel surveillance in 28 cities and found the proportion of cases resistant to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (a first-line treatment for gonorrhea) increased from 4.1 percent in 2003 to 6.8 percent in 2004. Resistance is especially worrisome in men who have sex with men, where it was eight times higher than among heterosexuals (23.8 percent vs. 2.9 percent). In April 2004, CDC recommended that fluoroquinolones no longer be used as treatment for gonorrhea among men who have sex with men. These antibiotics were also not recommended to treat the disease in anyone in California or Hawaii, where resistance has been widespread for years. Outside of these states, the prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance among heterosexuals remains low at 1.3 percent.[4] ...
