Benefits of additional courses of systemic azithromycin in periodontal therapy.

The use of systemic antimicrobials such as doxycycline, metronidazole, and azithromycin in conjunction with debridement has achieved results superior to those produced by debridement alone. The purpose of the present study was to determine if previous results could be improved upon by administering repeated doses of azithromycin during the hygiene phase. One hundred patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis were treated with scaling and root planing plus three courses of azithromycin during the hygiene phase. All patients then were re-evaluated and periodontal surgery and/or extractions…

Screening methods for the detection of antibiotic residues in slaughter animals: comparison of the European Union Four-Plate Test, the Nouws Antibiotic Test and the Premi®Test (applied to muscle and kidney).

Microbial growth inhibition tests are widely used as the primary screening approach for the detection of antibiotic residues in slaughter animals. In this study we evaluated and compared the performance of the European Union Four-Plate Test (EU4pt), the Nouws Antibiotic Test (NAT), and a commercial ampoule test, the PremiTest (applied to both muscle and kidney), by parallel analysis of 735 slaughter animals. The EU4pt only showed significant inhibition with two muscle samples containing 305 µg kg(-1) doxycycline and 648 µg kg(-1) tulathromycin, while an maximum residue limit (MRL) violation of…

Magnetic solid phase extraction based on phenyl silica adsorbent for the determination of tetracyclines in milk samples by capillary electrophoresis.

A magnetic solid phase extraction method coupled to capillary electrophoresis is proposed for the determination of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline in milk samples. Five different magnetic phenyl silica adsorbents covered with magnetite were synthesized by varying the molar ratio of phenyltrimethylsilane and tetramethylorthosilicate; these adsorbents were evaluated in terms of their pH and degree of hydrophobicity for tetracycline retention. The optimal, selected combination of conditions was a pH of 10.0 and a magnetic sorbent ratio of 4:1; under these conditio…
