Abstract
Antibiotics that are efficacious for infectious pancreatitis are present in pancreatic exocrine secretion (PES) after intravenous administration and above minimal inhibitory concentrations. We measured concentrations of four antibiotics by tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy in plasma and PES after enteral administration to juvenile pigs with jugular catheters and re-entrant pancreatic-duodenal catheters. Nystatin, which is not absorbed by the intestine nor used for infectious pancreatitis (negative control), was not detected in plasma or PES. Concentrations of amoxicillin increased in plasma after administration (p = 0.035), but not in PES (p = 0.51). Metronidazole and enrofloxacin that are used for infectious pancreatitis increased in plasma after enteral administration and even more so in PES, with concentrations in PES averaging 3.1 (±0.5)- and 2.3 (±0.6)-fold higher than in plasma, respectively (p's < 0.001). The increase in enrofloxacin in PES relative to plasma was lower after intramuscular administration (1.8 ± 0.5; p = 0.001). The present results demonstrate the presence of a selective and concentrative enteropancreatic pathway of secretion for some antibiotics. Unlike the regulated secretion of bile, the constitutive secretion of PES and intestinal reabsorption may provide a continuous exposure of pancreas tissue and the small intestine to recirculated antibiotics and potentially other therapeutic molecules. There is a need to better understand the enteropancreatic recirculation of antibiotics and the associated mechanisms.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a global health threat, and the World Health Organization has included H. pylori among 12 bacterial species that require high priority future strategies for the development of new antibiotics due mainly to its high rates of resistance. Metallic nanoparticles are known for their antimicrobial properties. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) as biocompatible antimicrobials. Green synthesis of ZnONPs was performed based on Oak galls extract (OGE) and was characterized by UV, IR, DLS, TEM, and SEM measurements. In addition, LC-MS/MS was used for the identification of OGE constituents. A checkerboard assay was used to evaluate the activity of synthesized Qi-ZnONPs and OGE against H. pylori, and their synergistic effects with amoxicillin were evaluated. LC-MS/MS analyses identified 20 compounds as major gallic acid conjugates. The ZnONPs had average particle sizes of 5.5 nm (DLS) and 7.99 nm (TEM). Both OGE and Qi-ZnONPs exhibited moderate activity against H. pylori. Amoxicillin and Qi-ZnONPs combinations (1:2 and 1:4 amoxicillin:/Qi-ZnONPs) significantly decreased the MIC90 by two-fold and four-fold, respectively, and FIC values for the combinations were more significant than with OGE alone. OGE is rich in phenolics. The synergism between Qi-ZnONPs and amoxicillin can provide an alternative safe agent of low cost to combat H. Pylori infections.

Systematic Review of Salivary Versus Blood Concentrations of Antituberculosis Drugs and Their Potential for Salivary Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. Ther Drug Monit 2018; 40:17-37.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring is useful in the treatment of tuberculosis to assure adequate exposure, minimize antibiotic resistance, and reduce toxicity. Salivary therapeutic drug monitoring could reduce the risks, burden, and costs of blood-based therapeutic drug monitoring. This systematic review compared human pharmacokinetics of antituberculosis drugs in saliva and blood to determine if salivary therapeutic drug monitoring could be a promising alternative. METHODS On December 2, 2016, PubMed and the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge were searched for pharmacokinetic studies reporting human salivary and blood concentrations of antituberculosis drugs. Data on study population, study design, analytical method, salivary Cmax, salivary area under the time-concentration curve, plasma/serum Cmax, plasma/serum area under the time-concentration curve, and saliva-plasma or saliva-serum ratio were extracted. All included articles were assessed for risk of bias. RESULTS In total, 42 studies were included in this systematic review. For the majority of antituberculosis drugs, including the first-line drugs ethambutol and pyrazinamide, no pharmacokinetic studies in saliva were found. For amikacin, pharmacokinetic studies without saliva-plasma or saliva-serum ratios were found. CONCLUSIONS For gatifloxacin and linezolid, salivary therapeutic drug monitoring is likely possible due to a narrow range of saliva-plasma and saliva-serum ratios. For isoniazid, rifampicin, moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, and clarithromycin, salivary therapeutic drug monitoring might be possible; however, a large variability in saliva-plasma and saliva-serum ratios was observed. Unfortunately, salivary therapeutic drug monitoring is probably not possible for doripenem and amoxicillin/clavulanate, as a result of very low salivary drug concentrations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Amoxicillin is commonly used in oral surgery for antimicrobial prophylaxis against surgical-site infection and bacteremia because of its effect on oral streptococci. The aim of this study was to determine whether amoxicillin reaches the break-point concentrations in saliva and has any effect on the salivary microbiota, colonizing bacteria on mucosal membranes and on the gingival crevice after a single dose of amoxicillin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty subjects received 2 g of amoxicillin, per os. The facultative and strictly anaerobic microflora, as well as the streptococcal microflora specifically, were followed from baseline and after 1, 4, and 24 hours. Samples were taken for microbial analysis from saliva, the dorsum of the tongue, and the gingival crevice, and were inoculated and cultured. Plasma samples and saliva samples were analyzed for amoxicillin concentrations (free and protein bound) using liquid chromatography and mass-spectrometry. RESULTS Amoxicillin was detected in concentrations over the break-point (>2 μg/mL) of amoxicillin in plasma after 1 and 4 hours but not after 24 hours. The dose had a significant effect on the streptococci in the gingival crevice. CONCLUSION A single dose given as prophylaxis to prevent a surgical-site infection results in a significant reducing effect on the oral streptococcal microflora in the gingival crevice and may have an impact on bacteria spreading into tissues and the bacteremia of streptococci.

[PMID: 25371749 PMCID: PMC4217780 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2014.2031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2014] [Accepted: 08/13/2014] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the transport and distribution characteristics of levofloxacin in the rat stomach and investigate the effects of combination treatment with rabeprazole. A total of 160 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four treatment groups: 50 mg/kg levofloxacin, 100 mg/kg levofloxacin, 50 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole and 100 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole. For two hours after intravenous administration, serum, gastric juice and stomach mucosa samples were collected at 15-min intervals, and the levofloxacin concentrations in all the samples were measured to determine the transport and distribution characteristics of levofloxacin in the rat stomach. In the 50 mg/kg levofloxacin and the 100 mg/kg levofloxacin groups, the drug concentration in the gastric juice gradually exceeded the serum concentration within 45–60 min of administration (P<0.05) and the drug concentrations in the gastric body and antrum were higher than those in the serum and the forestomach (P<0.05). At 15–30 min after administration, the drug concentrations in the gastric juice in the 50 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole and the 100 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole groups gradually exceeded the serum concentration (P<0.05). However, the levofloxacin concentration in the gastric body and in the antrum did not significantly differ between the two groups (P>0.05). The levofloxacin concentrations in each stomach region in the groups also treated with rabeprazole were higher than those treated with levofloxacin alone, but the differences were not significant. The levofloxacin transport fractions in the stomach in the 50 mg/kg levofloxacin, 100 mg/kg levofloxacin, 50 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole and 100 mg/kg levofloxacin + rabeprazole groups were 2.36, 2.52, 2.42 and 2.55, respectively, and no significant difference was identified. Levofloxacin may be actively transported in the rat stomach. The levofloxacin concentration in the gastric antrum exceeded that in the forestomach, and the local concentration increased with increasing dosage. Combining a proton pump inhibitor with levofloxacin has little effect on the concentration and distribution of levofloxacin in the stomach within 2 h.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the distribution of amoxicillin in the gastric juice and gastric mucosa of rats and to investigate the effects of proton pump inhibitor rabeprazole on amoxicillin concentrations in various compartments. METHODS One hundred and sixty anesthetized rats were divided into five groups, and given intravenously different doses of amoxicillin or amoxicillin and rabeprazole. The pH value and volume of gastric juice was aspirated were measured and separated gastric mucosa was homogenized. The concentrations of amoxicillin in the plasma, gastric juice and gastric mucosa were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS The maximum concentrations of amoxicillin in gastric juice and gastric mucosa were significantly lower than those in plasma (P<0.001). Concentrations in the glandular stomach mucosa were higher than those in the forestomach mucosa. Rabeprazole did not significantly change the pharmacokinetic parameters of amoxicillin in the plasma and did not alter gastric antibiotic clearance or the gastric transfer fraction of amoxicillin in gastric juice. However, rabeprazole did increase the amoxicillin concentration and pH value in gastric juice and reduced the volume of the gastric juice. CONCLUSION Amoxicillin could penetrate the gastric mucosa and achieve therapeutic concentrations at the target site after transfer from the blood to the stomach. Rabeprazole increased the amoxicillin concentration in gastric juice by decreasing the gastric juice volume but did not affect its concentration in blood or gastric mucosa.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of diseases located in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Successful eradication of the bacteria may improve H. pylori-related symptomatic complaints in functional dyspepsia, cure peptic ulcer disease and prevent gastric cancer. As vaccines are not available, the search for the optimal drug regimen has dominated the last decade. Today, most countries prefer a 7- to 10-day regimen containing a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin and amoxicillin as first-line treatment. An alternative (or second-line) treatment contains a proton pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline and metronidazole. This review also highlights the impact of new drugs, new drug combinations, and their optimal dosing required to maximise clinical outcome.

Abstract
AIM To test the efficacy of an ultra-short intravenous triple therapy against Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with bleeding peptic ulcer against standard oral 1-week triple therapy in a randomised, double-blind prospective trial. PATIENTS (n = 75) with haemorrhagic peptic ulcer and H. pylori infection were randomised into: an Intravenous Group to receive omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid intravenously b.d. for 3 days followed by 7 days of oral omeprazole plus placebo of clarithromycin and amoxicillin; an Oral Group to receive intravenous omeprazole plus placebo of clarithromycin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid followed by 7 days of oral omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin b.d. Gastric biopsies were obtained for urease test. A 13C-urea breath test was performed to check for H. pylori eradication. RESULTS Intention-to-treat eradication was 50% (19/38) in the Intravenous Group and 78% (29/37) in the Oral Group (odds ratio 3.63; 95% confidence interval 1.32-9.94; P < 0.01; number needed to treat (NNT) = 4). Per protocol eradication was 50% (14/28) in the Intravenous Group and 86% (24/28) in the Oral Group (P < 0.005). There were no statistically significant differences in adverse events between the two treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS An ultra-short, 3-day, intravenous, triple therapy containing omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid cannot be recommended as an effective eradication regimen for H. pylori infection related to haemorrhagic gastro-duodenal ulcer.
