Ceftriaxone is one of the last remaining treatments available for gonorrhea and a component of the recommended dual therapy with azithromycin in Canada ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
Because antimicrobial susceptibility testing (Etest, bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) demonstrated nonsusceptibility of the isolate to ceftriaxone and cefixime but susceptibility to azithromycin, a second follow-up visit was requested by the practitioner. (cdc.gov)
Among isolates tested for susceptibility to other antimicrobial agents, no evidence was found of decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone, cefixime, or azithromycin, or resistance to spectinomycin. (cdc.gov)
Because dual therapy with ceftriaxone plus azithromycin is the only recommended gonorrhea treatment, increases in azithromycin and cephalosporin MICs are cause for concern that resistance to these antimicrobial agents might be emerging. (cdc.gov)
Since 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended dual therapy with a single dose of 250 mg of intramuscular ceftriaxone in combination with 1 gram of oral azithromycin . (cdc.gov)
In addition, data suggest the use of azithromycin as a monotherapy to treat gonorrhea might promote the emergence of azithromycin-resistant gonorrhea. (cdc.gov)
Isolates with reduced azithromycin susceptibility were highly susceptible to ceftriaxone, and isolates with reduced ceftriaxone susceptibility were highly susceptible to azithromycin, suggesting that cases resistant to one drug would be cured by the second. (cdc.gov)
Recommended Regimens Azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose or Ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscularly (IM) in a single dose or Erythromycin base 500 mg orally 4 times a day for 7 days. (cdc.gov)
Azithromycin and ceftriaxone offer the advantage of single-dose therapy. (cdc.gov)
No Azi-RS isolates exhibited reduced cefixime or ceftriaxone susceptibility (Cfx-RS and Cro-RS, respectively). (cdc.gov)
The percentage of isolates with elevated cefixime MICs increased during 2009-2010, then decreased during 2012-2013 after treatment recommendations were changed in 2010 to recommend dual therapy (with a cephalosporin and a second antibiotic) and a higher dosage of ceftriaxone. (cdc.gov)
Subsequently, the treatment recommendations were changed again in 2012 to no longer recommend cefixime as part of first-line therapy (leaving ceftriaxone-based dual therapy as the only recommended therapy). (cdc.gov)
This recommendation was made to preserve the last highly effective class of antibiotics left to treat gonorrhea (i.e., cephalosporins) for as long as possible after laboratory data suggested that the oral cephalosporin, cefixime, was becoming less effective. (cdc.gov)
A greater proportion of inpatient samples showed resistance to ceftriaxone, cefixime, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid than the outpatient samples (P (who.int)
Susceptibility1
Single-drug therapy (based on recent local resistance data confirming susceptibility to the antimicrobial) consists of ceftriaxone 250 mg IM as single dose. (medscape.com)
Several studies from Europe have suggested oral doxycycline is as effective as intravenous ceftriaxone in treating neuroborreliosis. (wikipedia.org)
More recent data have suggested that oral therapy is equivalent to IV therapy (see Intravenous vs Oral Antimicrobial Agents, below), but this has yet to be incorporated into guidelines. (medscape.com)
But if you have severe neurologic disease, such as meningitis , encephalitis, or nerve issues, or serious cardiac symptoms, your treatment will require taking intravenous ceftriaxone for 14 days. (lymetalk.net)
Isolates2
As of October 15, 2017, only 5 ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates had been reported worldwide (MIC range 0.5-2 mg/L) ( 2 - 6 ). (cdc.gov)
The highest ceftriaxone MIC reported in Canada was 0.25 mg/L, representing only 0.45% (49/10,805) of all N. gonorrhoeae isolates tested during 2010‒2016 ( 7 ). (cdc.gov)
Cefotaxime1
Neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease in both adults and children respond well to penicillin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and doxycycline. (medscape.com)
Penicillin1
One relatively small randomized controlled trial suggested ceftriaxone was more effective than penicillin in the treatment of neuroborreliosis. (wikipedia.org)
We describe ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae isolated in Canada. (cdc.gov)
Resistant1
Research conducted on uropathogens in inpatients and outpatients suggests that hospital-acquired uropathogens are more resistant to antibiotics than community-acquired uropathogens (5,6). (who.int)
Doxycycline1
Although more recent research suggests that doxycycline for at least up to 14 days is safe in young children, amoxicillin remains the usual first choice for pediatric patients. (medscape.com)
Treatment2
For MRSA, data suggest that organisms with a vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 µg/mL or greater have a higher rate of treatment failure with vancomycin therapy. (medscape.com)
Through a series of virtual meetings, the panel developed commonly encountered treatment questions and corresponding suggested treatment approaches for each pathogen group. (idsociety.org)
Calcium supplements2
Some studies suggest that calcium supplements may play a role in the prevention of high blood pressure during pregnancy and preeclampsia, a combination of high blood pressure, fluid retention, and high levels of protein in the urine that some women develop during the last trimester of pregnancy. (mountsinai.org)
Preliminary studies in animals and people suggest that calcium supplements, in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 mg per day, may help lower cholesterol slightly. (limamemorial.org)
Antibiotics1
It has also been suggested that the types of antibiotics that are ineffective against a particular uropathogens are increasing (7). (who.int)
Adults1
In adults and adolescents with gonococcal oropharyngeal infections, the WHO suggests dual therapy over single therapy. (medscape.com)
Epidemiologic and genomic data suggest spread from Asia. (cdc.gov)
Study2
A smaller study suggested that calcium may help reduce menstrual pain. (mountsinai.org)
The study suggests the possibility of using trans-vaccenic acid found in red meat and dairy products as a nutritional supplement to complement treatments for cancer. (medicaldaily.com)
Studies suggest2
Some studies suggest that increasing calcium levels may lower blood pressure slightly. (mountsinai.org)
Two out of 12 systemic thrombolysis studies suggest a benefit: NINDS-2 and ECASS-3. (emergencymedicinecases.com)
Patients1
To increase distancing and reduce PPE waste, we have encouraged nurses and pharmacists to maximize their use of remote communication with patients and to suggest changes to care plans and come up with creative solutions to reduce traffic. (the-hospitalist.org)
Reduce1
Substitute less frequently administered medications where appropriate if doing so would reduce room traffic (such as enoxaparin for heparin, ceftriaxone for cefazolin, naproxen for ibuprofen, or patient-controlled analgesia for as needed morphine). (the-hospitalist.org)
Intramuscular1
Our study suggests that once-daily intravenous or intramuscular ertapenem may be appropriate for outpatient treatment of ED patients with MDRE UTI. (hindawi.com)
Infection3
Our case findings suggest that V. vulnificus infection should be suspected in patients with an unclear infection status experiencing pain of unknown origin in the lower legs, particularly in patients with liver disease or diabetes, immunocompromised status, and alcoholism. (biomedcentral.com)
You should also get a urine test if you have a fever or if a blood test suggests that you have an infection. (urinaryhealthtalk.com)

Lyme1
Research suggests that antibiotic therapy fails in the treatment of Lyme disease in 10-50% of cases, while patient surveying has reported antibiotic failure from over 90% of respondents. (lymetalk.net)
Vaginal1
Also, a surgical treatment to repair the anterior vaginal wall prolapse was suggested. (biomedcentral.com)
Resistance1
For uncomplicated cystitis, nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX, if local resistance ≤ 20%) can be used empirically, while fluoroquinolones, ceftriaxone, aminoglycosides, and carbapenems are appropriate for pyelonephritis and complicated UTIs. (hindawi.com)
In addition, physiological studies have shown that GLT-1 up-regulation strongly affects synaptic plasticity, and leads to an impairment of the prepulse inhibition, a simple form of information processing, thus suggesting that GLT-1 over-expression may lead to dysfunctions of large populations of neurons. (ox.ac.uk)
In addition, the increased motor activity and prepulse inhibition alterations previously described suggest that neural circuits involved in sensorimotor control are particularly sensitive to GLT-1 up-regulation. (ox.ac.uk)
