antibiotic/diarrhea

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is caused by the treatments of broad-spectrum antimicrobials that seriously affect the activity and composition of the large intestinal microflora. The pathogenic bacteria or low concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) has been repeatedly discussed in

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in fecal Escherichia coli isolates from healthy persons and patients with diarrhea. METHODS E. coli isolates (n = 428) were obtained from fecal samples of apparently healthy volunteers and hospitalized patients with

Epidemiologically related, non-lactose-fermenting (NLF) Escherichia coli strains of serotype O4 have been isolated at a high frequency from children with diarrhea in Somalia (M. Nicoletti, F. Superti, C. Conti, A. Calconi, and C. Zagaglia, J. Clin. Microbiol. 26:524-529, 1988). In order to define

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an extract of Qiweibaizhu powder combined with Debaryomyces hansenii on the gut microbiota of antibiotic-treated mice with diarrhea. Mice were gavaged with a mixture of gentamycin sulfate and cefradine to induce diarrhea. After diarrhea

Diarrhea is a well-known complication of antibiotic therapy. Rates of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) vary from 5 to 25%. Some antibiotics are more likely to cause diarrhea than others, specifically, those that are broad spectrum and those that target anaerobic flora. This paper reviews the

UNASSIGNED Recommended treatment for travelers' diarrhea includes the combination of an antibiotic, usually a fluoroquinolone or azithromycin, and loperamide for rapid resolution of symptoms. However, adverse events, postdose nausea with high-dose azithromycin, effectiveness of single-dose

Diarrhea is clearly one of the most common side effects encountered with antimicrobial treatment. Virtually all drugs with an antibacterial spectrum of activity have been implicated, although there are definite differences in associated incidence rates that appear to depend on spectrum of activity

Candida is the most frequently encountered fungal infection of the gastrointestinal tract after antibiotic exposure. The pathogenesis of Candida probably varies with each species. The speciation of fecal Candida after antibiotic use is not well investigated. One hundred and eleven fecal samples

Succinate was the major organic acid detected in the hindgut content of pigs suffering from antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Antibiotic-associated diarrhea was induced by an oral dose of polymyxin B sulfate (3,000,000 units/day) or an intramuscular injection of enrofloxacin (0.6 g enrofloxacin/day).

Infants and toddlers in day-care centers have a relatively high frequency of diarrhea and/or oral antibiotic use, and may be at increased risk of developing diaper dermatitis when diapered. A six-month, prospective, double-blind study was conducted in day-care centers in Houston, Texas, to determine

OBJECTIVE To determine which antibiotics increase or decrease the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). METHODS Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Nonprofit, integrated healthcare delivery system in Northern California. METHODS Study participants included patients with

A cohort of 110 adult individuals was analyzed to compare clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients who received antibiotics and developed Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) with those who received antibiotics and did not develop the disease in a university Hospital in Brazil. CDI was

A survey of 1659 households in a periurban community in Mexico City was carried out to assess the frequency of and risk factors for inappropriate antimicrobial therapy in acute diarrhea. The housewife was interviewed to obtain information of the occurrence of diarrhea or use of an antibiotic in the

While the routine use of antibiotics for infectious diarrhea in children must be avoided, because it brings little benefit in most cases and is associated with the risk of increasing antimicrobial resistance, selected cases may require antimicrobial therapy, and the choice of the antimicrobial agent

The aim was to investigate the combined effect of Debaryomyces hansenii and Qiweibaizhu powder (QWBZP) on the bacterial diversity of the intestinal mucosa of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) mice, for the potential treatment of diarrhea, especially which is induced by administration of
