Springerplus. 2014 Nov 06;3:656. doi: 10.1186/2193-1801-3-656. eCollection 2014.

Escherichia coli stationary-phase (SP) cells contain relaxed DNA molecules and recover DNA supercoiling once nutrients become available. In these cells, the reactivation of DNA gyrase, which is a DNA topoisomerase type IIA enzyme, is responsible for the recovery of...

Ophthalmology and therapy

Mah FS, Sanfilippo CM.
PMID: 27010720
Ophthalmol Ther. 2016 Jun;5(1):1-20. doi: 10.1007/s40123-016-0046-6. Epub 2016 Mar 24.

This comprehensive review summarizes the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, 0.6% and examines its role in the treatment of ocular surface bacterial infections. Besifloxacin possesses balanced activity against bacterial topoisomerase II (also called...

Ranjan N, Fulcrand G, King A, Brown J, Jiang X, Leng F, Arya DP.
PMID: 25083189
Medchemcomm. 2014 Jun 01;5(6):816-825. doi: 10.1039/C4MD00140K.

Hoechst dyes are well known DNA binders that non-selectively inhibit the function of mammalian topoisomerase I and II. Herein, we show that Hoechst 33258 based bisbenzimidazoles (DPA 151-154), containing a terminal alkyne, are effective and selective inhibitors of E....

A prospective, randomized, clinical study to compare the clinical safety, effectiveness, and cost of oral ofloxacin/clindamycin vs intravenous clindamycin/gentamicin for the treatment of postpartum endomyometritis.

Primary care update for Ob/Gyns

Pietrantoni M, Goss S, Gall SA.
PMID: 10838268
Prim Care Update Ob Gyns. 1998 Jul 01;5(4):146-147. doi: 10.1016/s1068-607x(98)00023-7.

Objective: The primary objective of this prospective, randomized, clinical study was to compare the safety, clinical and microbiologic efficacy, and cost of oral ofloxacin in combination with clindamycin vs intravenous (IV) clindamycin/gentamicin in the early empiric treatment for hospitalized...

Mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance.

Drug resistance updates : reviews and commentaries in antimicrobial and anticancer chemotherapy

Hooper DC.
PMID: 11504468
Drug Resist Updat. 1999 Feb;2(1):38-55. doi: 10.1054/drup.1998.0068.

Mechanisms of bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolones fall into two principal categories, alterations in drug target enzymes and alterations that limit permeation of drug to the target, both resulting from chromosomal mutations. No specific resistance mechanisms of quinolone degradation or...

Fluoroquinolones: mechanisms of action and resistance.

International journal of antimicrobial agents

PMID: 18611533
Int J Antimicrob Agents. 1993;2(3):151-83. doi: 10.1016/0924-8579(93)90052-7.

The mechanism of action and the mechanism of resistance of the 4-quinolones are complex and poorly understood. The first barrier these molecules must cross is the bacterial outer membrane. In gram-negative species, 4-quinolones pass through either the porins or...

PMID: 21374418
Methods Mol Med. 2001;48:189-97. doi: 10.1385/1-59259-077-2:189.

Antimicrobial treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections can be complicated by the existence of multiply-antibiotic resistant (multiresistant) strains carrying plasmids coding for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), AmpC-type β-lactamases (ACTBLs), or aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. This situation has become an increasingly serious problem worldwide...
