Azithromycin assay in drug formulations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Many different assaying high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) methods have been developed and validated in order to be used in routine analysis in different analytical fields. Validation often starts by the evaluation of the linearity of the calibration curve. Frequently, if the correlation coefficient is close to one, the linear calibration curve model is considered to be proper to predict the unknown concentration in the ...
Differential inhibition of activity, activation and gene expression of MMP-9 in THP-1 cells by azithromycin and minocycline versus bortezomib: A comparative study KU Leuven
Long-term impact of oral azithromycin taken by Gambian women during labor on prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in their infants: follow-up of a randomized clinical trial Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background. Oral azithromycin given to women in labor decreases maternal and neonatal bacterial carriage but increases azithromycin-resistant bacteria during at least 4 weeks following the intervention. We assessed the prevalence of bacterial carriage and azithromycin resistance 12 months after treatment among study infants.
Methods. Nasopharyngeal swabs (NPSs) were collected between November 2014 and May 2015 from children aged 11-13 ...
Molecular epidemiological analysis of Mycoplasma genitalium shows low prevalence of azithromycin resistance and a well-established epidemic in South Africa Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objectives
Macrolide resistance in Mycoplasma genitalium is emerging globally. There is paucity of data from sub-Saharan Africa where syndromic management is used to treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We conducted a molecular epidemiological study to determine the prevalence of azithromycin resistance and epidemic diversity of M. genitalium infections in South Africa.
Methods
We analysed 90 M. ...

Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine plus azithromycin for the prevention of low birthweight in Papua New Guinea Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy has not been evaluated outside of Africa. Low birthweight (LBW, <2,500 g) is common in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and contributing factors include malaria and reproductive tract infections.
METHODS: From November 2009 to February 2013, we conducted a parallel group, randomised controlled trial in pregnant women (≤ 26 gestational weeks) in PNG. Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine ...
