Article Abstract
To investigate the pharmacodynamic target attainment of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) in combination with amikacin against OXA-producing extensively drug-resistant/ pan-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR/PDR-PA). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of CZA and amikacin against OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA were determined by the checkerboard method, and the combined inhibitory index (FICI) was calculated to evaluate whether the combination of the two antimicrobials has a synergistic effect on OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA in vitro. The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of CZA and amikacin were combined by Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) to evaluate the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of the two antimicrobials for the treatment of OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA infection. The results of synergy tests of CZA in combination with amikacin suggested that 77.3% of XDR/PDR-PA showed synergistic effects. When the PK/PD target was greater than 50, CFR was 97.84% for CZA 2.5 g q8h when CZA in combination with amikacin. CZA in combination with AMK has a synergistic effect in vitro and could be a potential option for treating OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA infections.

Department of Nephrology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To analyze the distribution of pathogens and drug resistance in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a single center in Xiamen and to guide the selection of empirical antibiotics in the clinic.
Methods: Clinical data of 2001 children with UTIs in Xiamen Children's Hospital between 2014 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, grouped by age and comorbidities. Differences in pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity were compared with the chi-square test applied and significance set at p < 0.

Antibiotic resistance is the never-ending war among medical researchers and microbial life forms. The extensive evolving potential of the microorganisms, in combination with improper usage, storage and disposal of the marketed antibiotics generated from natural or artificial sources, always calls for the need for novel antimicrobial agents with different modes of action. In this project, azo-oxime complexes of iron and manganese (seven in total) have been applied to wild multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains (isolated from sewage water of hospital).

Background And Aim: The global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has rendered many conventional antibiotics less effective, particularly against nosocomial pathogens such as , , , and . This study investigated the antimicrobial and synergistic effects of postbiotics derived from , , , and , administered alone or in combination with either linezolid (for ) or amikacin (for Gram-negative strains).
Materials And Methods: Postbiotics were obtained through anaerobic fermentation, followed by centrifugation and filtration.

Various dressings have been developed for the prevention and treatment of wound infections, but the complex structures and manufacturing processes designed to achieve powerful functionalities have impeded their clinical application. Herein, a dynamic injectable photothermal/chemotherapeutic hydrogel has been facilely established through mixing gellan gum (GG), indocyanine green (ICG) and amikacin (AMI) aqueous solutions at 80°C and cooling to room temperature. The hydrogel displayed a precise structure with 1.
