Optimising antibiotic dosing regimens based on pharmacodynamic target attainment against Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected in Hungarian hospitals
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
2006 Owing to increasing resistance rates in Europe, pharmacodynamic analyses were proposed to determine optimal empirical antibiotic therapy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in Hungary. Minimum inhibitory concentrations for 180 non-duplicate P. aeruginosa ...
Elevated antibody levels against Chlamydia pneumoniae, human HSP60 and mycobacterial HSP65 are independent risk factors in myocardial infarction and ischaemic heart disease
Atherosclerosis
2004 The relative significance of traditional risk factors, chronic infections and autoimmune processes in the development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been fully elucidated...
Antibiotic policies in Central Eastern Europe
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
2004 To assess the antibiotic policies in Central Eastern European (CEE) countries, a questionnaire on the prevalence of resistance, antibiotic consumption data for ambulatory and hospital care and antibiotic policies, was mailed to national representatives...
Metabolic interactions of ciprofloxacin
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
1990 The mechanism and clinical relevance of the inhibitory effect of ciprofloxacin on the metabolism of selected drugs were studied in patients with bacterial infections. In study A, antipyrine tests were carried out in two groups of patients taking 1000 mg (group 1) and 250 mg (group 2) of oral ciprofloxacin for 7–10 days...
The effect of ciprofloxacin on antipyrine metabolism
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
1988 The effect of multiple-dose ciprofloxacin on antipyrine metabolism was studied in patients suffering from bacterial infections. The patients were given antipyrine 15 mg/kg intravenously before and after ciprofloxacin treatment. The dosage of ciprofloxacin was ...
