Abstract. Penicillin production with an industrial strain and 4 strains of P. chrysogenum, in solid state fermentation (SSF) and liquid submerged fermentation (LSF), was determined. Their ability to produce the antibiotic in SSF in relation to their capacity to do so in LSF was evaluated. this was done by calculating the ratio PS/PL (production ...

The widespread use of β-lactam antibiotics has led to the worldwide appearance of drug-resistant strains. Bacteria have developed resistance to β-lactams by two main mechanisms: the production of β-lactamases, sometimes accompanied by a decrease of outer membrane permeability, and the production of low-affinity, drug …

This study aimed to establish an antibiotic profiling strategy using a panel of clinically relevant bacterial strains to create unique biological fingerprints for all major classes of antibiotics. Antibiotic mode of action profile (BioMAP) screening has been shown to effectively cluster antibiotics by structural class based on these fingerprints.

Abstract. Bacterial cell wall formation is essential for cellular survival and morphogenesis. The peptidoglycan (PG), a heteropolymer that surrounds the bacterial membrane, is a key component of the cell wall, and its multistep biosynthetic process is an attractive antibacterial development target. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are ...

Alexander Fleming in 1928 found that a diffusible substance was elaborated by Penicillium mould which could destroy Staphylococcus on the culture plate and published the work in 1929. He named the substance Penicillin but could not purify it. Chain and Florey followed up this observation in 1939 which culminated in the clinical use of ...

The issue of a patent for penicillin was a controversial problem from the beginning. Chain believed that obtaining a patent was essential. Florey and others viewed patents as unethical for such a life-saving drug. Indeed, penicillin challenged the basic notion of a patent, considering it was a natural product produced by another living ...

PBP2a is a cell wall-synthesizing protein whose closed active site exhibits a reduced binding affinity toward β-lactam antibiotics. Ceftaroline (CFT), a fifth-generation cephalosporin, can effectively inhibit the PBP2a activity by binding to an allosteric site to trigger the active site opening, allowing a second CFT to access the active site.

A quantitative method for the determination of four penicillin antibiotics, amoxicillin (AMO), oxacillin (OXA), cloxacillin (CLO), and dicloxacillin (DICLO), has been developed. Separation was achieved on an Inertsil ODS-3 (250 x 4 mm, 5 microm) column after selective extraction of penicillin drugs from biological matrices by means of SPE.

Patient adherence to IM BPG is poor, largely due to pain, the need for regular injections every 3-4 weeks and health sector delivery challenges in resource-limited settings.
