SOLVENT AND SOLID PHASE EXTRACTION OF ANTIBIOTICS FROM CULTURE MEDIA
Antibiotics are commonly used in culture media to promote the growth of microorganisms and to prevent the growth of contaminants. However, the presence of these antibiotics in the culture media can be detrimental to the growth of certain microorganisms and…
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS OF ANTIBIOTICS
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a widely used technique for the separation and analysis of compounds. When it comes to antibiotics, TLC can be employed to analyze and identify different antibiotics present in a sample. The process involves the separation of…
OVERVIEW OF ANTIBIOTICS SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING
Introduction Antibiotic susceptibility testing is a laboratory technique used to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific bacterial or fungal strains. It helps in guiding appropriate antibiotic treatment for infectious diseases. The testing involves exposing the microorganism to different antibiotics…
SURGICAL INFECTIONS AND PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS
Surgical infections, also known as postoperative infections, occur as a result of contamination or colonization of a surgical site by microorganisms, leading to an inflammatory response and subsequent tissue damage. The pathophysiology of surgical infections involves multiple stages and interactions…
