Most of the disease-causing bacteria secrete matrix-like layers around themselves called biofilms. These biofilms act as ...

Purpose: The stability of meropenem in i.v. solutions stored in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bags and an elastomeric infusion device at concentrations commonly used in home care was studied.

The researchers found that treating a mature biofilm with the enzyme – resulting in collapse of the biofilm matrix – made the bacteria 15 times more susceptible to a broad-spectrum antibiotic called ...

Widely used life-saving antibiotic Meropenem manufactured by Pfizer and other leading pharmaceuticals firms, can have adverse reactions, the Union government’s Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission ...

Researchers at IISc have developed an enzyme treatment that dismantles biofilms formed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, enhancing the action of antibiotics. Tests on biofilms and infected mice showed ...

The use of intravenous antibiotics to treat patients at home requires that the therapy be provided safely and cost-effectively. Ideal agents for home use provide the necessary spectrum of ...

A recent study reported encouraging results for initial treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone or meropenem followed by long-term treatment with oral trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole. However ...

Researchers at IISc have found a novel way to combat antibiotic resistance in bacteria. They used an enzyme found in a cow's ...

Prof Leanord told the inquiry that the increased use of Meropenem, a broad spectrum antibiotic, in late 2017 and early 2018 may have resulted in higher than normal infections. He said it had been ...

The US Food and Drug Administration granted clearances for various tests for infectious diseases, coagulation disorders, and drug susceptibility.
