Open Forum Infect Dis. 2015 Aug 11;2(3):ofv113. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofv113. eCollection 2015 Sep.

Background.  Antibiotic use predisposes patients to Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), and approximately 32% of these infections are community-associated (CA) CDI. The population-level impact of antibiotic use on adult CA-CDI rates is not well described. Methods.  We used 2011 active...

Quality Attributes and In Vitro Bioequivalence of Different Brands of Amoxicillin Trihydrate Tablets.

Pharmaceutics

Al-Tabakha MM, Fahelelbom KMS, Obaid DEE, Sayed S.
PMID: 28531119
Pharmaceutics. 2017 May 20;9(2). doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics9020018.

Bacterial resistance and antibiotic drug effectiveness can be related to administering generic products with a subtherapeutic dose or poor in vivo drug release. The aim of this study was to investigate whether locally marketed amoxicillin tablets have the required...
