Urinary
tract infections (UTIs) represent a common pathology among female patients,
leading to overprescribing antibiotics, globally. The emergence of the COVID-19
pandemic has dramatically increased the incidence of this particular viral
pneumonia with secondary bacterial superinfection, resulting in continuous
therapeutic or prophylactic...

Cefuroxime is a 2nd generation cephalosporin group of broad-spectrum β-lactam
antibiotic.Clavulanic acid is a
beta lactamase inhibitor used to enhance the effectiveness of beta lactam
antibiotics.Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid: A
combination of cefuroxime and ß -lactamase inhibitor (Clavulanic acid) for the

Fig: PharyngotonsillitisTAKE-HOME MESSAGE
It is important to optimize existing antibiotics in
view of increasing antimicrobial resistance and paucity of new drugs in
this class. One of the most common infections treated by primary care
physicians is pharyngotonsillitis, and it is associated with a significant
proportion of...
Signs and symptoms
Dysuria
Urinary urgency and frequency
A sensation of bladder fullness or lower abdominal
discomfort
Suprapubic tenderness
Flank pain and costovertebral angle tenderness (may
be present in cystitis but suggest upper UTI)

odour
Fevers, chills, vomiting and mal...
To reduce the development of
drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics and other
antibacterial drugs, antibiotics should be used only to treat or prevent
infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible
bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility
information are available, they should b...
Cefuroxime is the 2nd
generation cephalosporin group of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic. Clavulanic acid is
naturally occurring potent inhibitor of β-lactamase. It is a “suicidal
inhibitor” of β-lactamases produced by a wide range of Gram positive and Gram
negative micro-organisms.β-lactamase mediated resistance is the most common mechanism...
Antibiotics treatment for bacterial
pneumonia in adults in hospital
Antibiotic management of
suspected or confirmed bacterial pneumonia in adults in hospital during the
COVID-19 pandemic. This includes people presenting to hospital with moderate to
severe community-acquired pneumonia and people who develop pneumonia while in
hospital.COVID...
Urinary tract infections are
common during pregnancy, and the most common causative organism is Escherichia
coli. Escherichia coli accounts for 80 to 90 percent of
infections. Other gram-negative rods such as Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella
pneumoniae are also common.It's possible to have UTI during
pregnancy without any symptoms. UTI affect...
Cefuroxime is the 2nd
generation cephalosporin group of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic. And Clavulanic
acid is a beta lactamase inhibitor used to enhance the effectiveness
of beta lactam antibiotics.CEFUROXIME- CLAVULANATE is
indicated for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused
by susceptible strains of the desig...
Therapeutic indicationsAmoxicillin, alone or in
combination with clavulanic acid, still accounts among the most widely used
antibacterial agents. Although they are often considered 'twin drugs', they are
different both in terms of antibacterial activities and of safety profile.Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium
is indicated in the treatment of i...
Cefuroxime is a 2nd generation cephalosporin group of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic.Clavulanic acid is a
beta lactamase inhibitor used to enhance the effectiveness of beta lactam
antibiotics. Clavulanic acid does have some degree of bacterial activity; its
principal role is as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Used in combination with t...
