ANTIBIOTIC DE-ESCALATION IN BACTEREMIC UTI & ITS IMPACT ON COST AND LENGTH OF STAY-A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY IN A TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL IN SOUTH KERALA
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections affecting humans and is one of the leading causes of both community-acquired and nosocomial infections. The study's objective was to assess the rate of de-escalation and the impact of de-escalation on cost and length of stay, antibiotics utilization pattern, and adverse effects of antibiotics in bacteremic UTI. A prospective observ...

ANTIULCER ACTIVITY OF THE METHANOLIC AZADIRACHTA INDICA (NEEM) LEAVES EXTRACT ON INDUCED GASTRIC ULCERS
Gastric inflammation and ulceration are directly associated with accumulating reactive oxygen species, interleukins, TNF-α, and depletion of antioxidants. In addition to the frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gastric lesions are also provoked by stress, alcohol consumption and Helicobacter pylori. Among other NSAIDs, Indomethacin has been very effective compound to generate a ...

STRUCTURE-BASED VIRTUAL SCREENING AND IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL INHIBITORS OF MYCOLIC ACID BIOSYNTHESIS ENZYMES (KASA, INHA, PKS13) FOR THE TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, identified as a global health emergency by the world health organization. The development of drug-resistance stains due to spontaneous gene mutation has been a major boost to research in the pathogenicity and biochemistry of Mtb. To combat drug resistance to tuberculosis, new drugs and methodologies are emerging. Since,...

PAN-GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF HUMAN INFECTING SEROTYPES OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES: IDENTIFICATION OF PUTATIVE DRUG TARGETS
Pan-genome analysis can identify the core genome, which is the total number of genes present in all strains of a bacterial species. Further essential genes can be identified in this core set of genes which gives us a minimal number of genes required for the survival of the bacteria. This set of genes can be analyzed to develop new antimicrobial agents against pathogenic, multidrug-resistant bacter...

SILVER NANOPARTICLES POSSESS ANTI-BIOFILM ACTIVITY AGAINST MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS SAPROPHYTICUS ATCC 15305
An example of the human microbiota is Staphylococcus saprophyticus, a gram-positive, non-hemolytic pathogenic bacterium. It's a prevalent culprit behind simple infections associated with the urinary tract, especially among sexually active young women. It has a high colonization rate in the perineum, rectum, urethra, cervix, and gastrointestinal system and is also quite lethal. Because of their abi...

DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF ORAL DISINTEGRATING TABLETS OF SPRAY-DRIED ARIPIPRAZOLE SOLID DISPERSIONS
Aripiprazole is a biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) II drug used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. A fast-dissolving tablet will be an appropriate drug delivery route in these conditions. Therefore, the objective of the work was to convert aripiprazole into a solid dispersion via a spray drying process and further present it as an oral fast-dissolving tablet for improving pa...
