Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 2009Co-Authors: Qiang Fei, Yanfu Huan, Guodong Feng, Bin Wang, Yulin RenAbstract:In this paper, a novel chemometric method was developed for rapid, accurate, and quantitative analysis of Cefalexin. The experiment was carried out by using the near-infrared spectrometry coupled to multivariate calibration (partial least squares and artificial neural nets). The wavelength selection through a modified genetic algorithm with fixed number of select variables would enhance the predictive ability when applying artificial neural networks model.

Estudio del mecanismo de acción y eficacia de un compuesto modulador de las respuestas inmunes (Panax ginseng) en glándula mamaria bovina
2021Co-Authors: Beccaría CamilaAbstract:El uso de compuestos moduladores de las respuesta inmune (MRI) frente a infecciones intramamarias (IIM) en bovinos, constituye una alternativa a los tratamientos tradicionales con antibióticos durante la involución mamaria. El objetivo general fue estudiar los efectos de un extracto de Panax ginseng (PG) como MRI y esclarecer su mecanismo de acción in vitro en cultivos de células bovinas. Asimismo, se evaluó la eficacia del compuesto, en combinación con Cefalexina, para eliminar y prevenir nuevas IIM durante el periodo de involución mamaria y su efecto sobre la producción de leche en la lactancia siguiente. En células epiteliales mamarias bovinas (MAC-T), PG estimuló la expresión génica y proteica de interleuquina (IL)-6 a las 12 y 24 hs post tratamiento (pt) y de IL-4 a las 24 hs pt. En macrófagos bovinos, PG estimuló la expresión génica del receptor tipo toll (TLR)4 y el factor de transcripción nuclear-kappa B (NF-B) a las 12 y 24 hs pt. Se detectó un efecto significativo del tratamiento con PG y del tiempo de exposición sobre IL-8, factor de necrosis tumoral (TNF)-α e IL-1β, observándose los mayores niveles de expresión a las 12 y 24 hs pt. En MAC-T, PG redujo en forma significativa la internalización de dos cepas de Staphylococcus aureus. En macrófagos, la capacidad fagocítica y los niveles de especies reactivas de oxígeno y óxido nítrico, no se vieron influenciados por PG. Las pruebas de campo demostraron que la eficacia de PG + Cefalexina como terapia de secado fue similar a la terapia con Cefalexina, no observándose efectos adversos aparentes con la combinación del MRI y el antimicrobiano. Las tasas de nuevas IIM al pos parto de los animales tratados con PG + Cefalexina fueron similares a las detectadas con Cefalexina, demostrándose un efecto preventivo similar. El tratamiento intramamario con PG + Cefalexina no tuvo efectos negativos sobre la producción de leche y el recuento de células somáticas. Este trabajo aporta nuevos conocimientos acerca de los efectos de PG como potencial MRI en glándula mamaria bovina, aunque son necesarias pruebas de eficacia a mayor escala a los fines de promover el desarrollo de nuevos productos y su transferencia tecnológica al sector lácteo

ompf downregulation mediated by sigma e or ompr activation confers Cefalexin resistance in escherichia coli in the absence of acquired β lactamases
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2021Co-Authors: Maryam Alzayn, Punyawee Dulyayangkul, Naphat Satapoomin, Kate J Heesom, Matthew B AvisonAbstract:Cefalexin is a widely used 1st generation cephalosporin, and resistance in Escherichia coli is caused by Extended-Spectrum (e.g., CTX-M) and AmpC β-lactamase production and therefore frequently coincides with 3rd generation cephalosporin resistance. However, we have recently identified large numbers of E. coli isolates from human infections, and from cattle, where Cefalexin resistance is not β-lactamase mediated. Here we show, by studying laboratory selected mutants, clinical isolates, and isolates from cattle, that OmpF porin disruption or downregulation is a major cause of Cefalexin resistance in E. coli. Importantly, we identify multiple regulatory mutations that cause OmpF downregulation. In addition to mutation of ompR, already known to downregulate OmpF and OmpC porin production, we find that rseA mutation, which strongly activates the Sigma E regulon, greatly increasing DegP production, which degrades OmpF, OmpC and OmpA. Furthermore, we reveal that mutations affecting lipopolysaccharide structure, exemplified by the loss of GmhB, essential for lipopolysaccharide heptosylation, also modestly activate DegP production, resulting in OmpF degradation. Remarkably, given the critical importance attached to such systems for normal E. coli physiology, we find evidence for DegP-mediated OmpF downregulation, gmhB and rseA loss of function mutation in E. coli isolates derived from human infections. Finally, we show that these regulatory mutations enhance the ability of group 1 CTX-M β-lactamase to confer reduced carbapenem susceptibility, particularly those mutations that cause OmpC in addition to OmpF downregulation.

characterization of cefotaxime resistant urinary escherichia coli from primary care in south west england 2017 18
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019Co-Authors: Jacqueline Findlay, Alasdair P Macgowan, Virginia C Gould, Paul North, Karen E Bowker, Martin Williams, Matthew B AvisonAbstract:Objectives Third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli from community-acquired urinary tract infections are increasingly reported worldwide. We sought to determine and characterize the mechanisms of cefotaxime resistance employed by urinary E. coli obtained from primary care, over 12 months, in Bristol and surrounding counties in South-West England. Methods Cefalexin-resistant E. coli isolates were identified from GP-referred urine samples using disc susceptibility testing. Cefotaxime resistance was determined by subsequent plating onto MIC breakpoint plates. β-Lactamase genes were detected by PCR. WGS was performed on 225 isolates and analyses were performed using the Center for Genomic Epidemiology platform. Patient information provided by the referring general practices was reviewed. Results Cefalexin-resistant E. coli (n=900) isolates were obtained from urines from 146 general practices. Following deduplication by patient approximately 69% (576/836) of isolates were cefotaxime resistant. WGS of 225 isolates identified that the most common cefotaxime-resistance mechanism was blaCTX-M carriage (185/225), followed by plasmid-mediated AmpCs (pAmpCs) (17/225), AmpC hyperproduction (13/225), ESBL blaSHV variants (6/225) or a combination of both blaCTX-M and pAmpC (4/225). Forty-four STs were identified, with ST131 representing 101/225 isolates, within which clade C2 was dominant (54/101). Ciprofloxacin resistance was observed in 128/225 (56.9%) of sequenced isolates, predominantly associated with fluoroquinolone-resistant clones ST131 and ST1193. Conclusions Most Cefalexin-resistant E. coli isolates were cefotaxime resistant, predominantly caused by blaCTX-M carriage. The correlation between cefotaxime resistance and ciprofloxacin resistance was largely attributable to the high-risk pandemic clones ST131 and ST1193. Localized epidemiological data provide greater resolution than regional data and can be valuable for informing treatment choices in the primary care setting.
