Impact of novel microbial secondary metabolites on the pharma industry
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2022 Feb 21. doi: 10.1007/s00253-022-11821-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroorganisms are remarkable producers of a wide diversity of natural products that significantly improve human health and well-being.

Epub 2022 Jan 20.ABSTRACTAustralia's national clinical practice guidelines recommend intramuscular (IM) penicillin every 28 days for persons diagnosed with an initial episode of acute rheumatic fever (ARF). This antibiotic coverage is initiated to reduce recurrent ARF episodes by preventing repeat infections with the causative bacterium, group A Streptococcus.

Variation in practice for preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis: a survey from an academic tertiary referral center in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: There is no clear consensus amongst providers for which antibiotic to administer for antibiotic prophylaxis despite existing guidelines. Discrepancy also exists between orthopaedic surgery and anesthesia providers in regards to appropriate antibiotic choice for patients with reported penicillin allergies. Institutions should implement evidence-based protocols for preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and continue to prospectively monitor compliance in order to identify any inconsistencies that could result in inappropriate antibiotic prophylaxis for patients.PMID:34706755 | PMC:PMC8549297 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-021-00308-3
