ABSTRACT
Aminoglycosides antibiotics are considered to be the antimicrobial agents used frequently in the treatment of human diseases caused by a bacterial infection. Most of the aminoglycosides antibiotics are highly polar in nature and they are lacking the UV absorbing chromophore in the molecules. The present articles accentuate the analytical method associated with the analysis of aminoglycosides molecules. Various chromatographic techniques like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography; mass spectrometry were used for the detection of aminoglycosides antibiotics. However, due to its limitation in the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV/Vis) technique, different types of detection techniques like corona-charged aerosol detector (CAD), electrochemical detector (ECD) were used as a most powerful and versatile technique for the demonstration of these molecules in the analytical field. Analytical methods help to ensure the quality of the drug products. This review paper is devoted to providing an overview of the key performance technique used for the application and detection of these aminoglycosides molecules.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the distribution of the resistance genes of Acinetobacter baumannii to aminoglycoside,48 strains of extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January to December,2015.The drug sensitivity test and identification were performed by VITEK 2 compact automatic microorganism instrument.Twelve aminoglycosides modifying enzymes,three 16SrRNA methylase genes and efflux pump abeB gene were detected from these isolates by PCR.Results showed that among these experimental 16 genes,aac(6')-Ⅰb gene was detected from 19 of 48 isolates (39.6％),both armA and adeB genes were 43 (89.6％),ant(3")-Ⅰa gene was from 5 (10.4％),while the other genes were not found.And more than two gene types were amplified from 39 of 48 strains (81.3％).In conclusion,the aac(6')-Ⅰb,armA gene and efflux pump adeB may play a key role in drug resistance to aminoglycosides antibiot ics of Acinetobacter Baumanni in our hospital.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for endotoxin assay in aminoglycoside antibiotics for injection.METHODS: Kinetic turbidimetric limulus test was used for endotoxin assay in aminoglycoside antibiotics for injection.The recovery rate of bacterial endotoxin was determined though pre-interference experiments in which quantitative endotoxin was added to different concentrations of aminoglycosides with the concentration optimized,then an interference test on 4 different samples was conducted.RESULTS: At a concentration of 0.5 mg?mL-1,aminoglycosides didn't interfere with the limulus test if the amount of standard endotoxin was at 5.000,0.500,and 0.050 EU?mL-1,respectively.CONCLUSIONS: The kinetic turbidimetric limulus test could be used for endotoxin assay in aminoglycoside antibiotics for injection.
