Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (MICs = 0.08-3.9 μg/ml). It also has antiprotozoal properties and decreases the parasite burden of mice infected with the leishmanial strain L.stropica when administered at doses of 50 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, through intramuscular or intralesional routes, respectively. Paromomycin binds to the […]

Pazufloxacin is a broad-spectrum synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including clinical isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, methicillin-susceptible and -resistant S. aureus, and methicillin-susceptible and -resistant S. epidermidis (MIC90s = 0.05, 0.1, 0.39, 12.5, 0.39, and 6.25 μg/ml, respectively). It inhibits E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus DNA […]

The cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics originally derived from Acremonium, which was previously known as “Cephalosporium”. Together with cephamycins they constitute a subgroup of β-lactam antibiotics called cephems.
