Modification by analgesics of the susceptibility to antibiotics in Serratia marcescens

The New Microbiologica
M PuigM Viñas

Abstract

The influence of analgesics at low concentrations on permeability and beta-lactamase expression have been studied "in vitro". The effect of these drugs on major outer membrane proteins and the lipopolysaccharide was evaluated. Acetylsalicylate and paracetamol induced modifications in susceptibility to a large variety of antibiotics when tested at therapeutic concentrations. The results suggested that when analgesics and antibiotics are administered simultaneously, the interaction between both kinds of drugs can alter the response of microorganisms to antibiotics.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
