Detection of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds in Tap Water Samples by Direct Injection HPLC/MS-MS: A Danger Signal in Deficiency in Residue Management
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2024 Apr 26;112(5):67. doi: 10.1007/s00128-024-03897-8.ABSTRACTTo date, there is an increased risk to public health and the environment due to the presence of pharmaceutically active compounds within drinking water supply and distribution networks. Owing to this, a direct injection-HPLC/MS-MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 16 active pharmaceutical compounds in tap water samples: amoxicillin, ampicillin, cephalexin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, cyproterone, erythromycin, flutamide, spironolactone, sulfamethoxazol...

Prevalence and Resistance Patterns of Urinary Tract Infection in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: This study reported UT mono-infection and poly-infection in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Saudi Arabia, with a predominant representation from gram-negative bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae. Most of the UT microbial strains showed a highly resistant profile.PMID:38665033 | DOI:10.24976/Discov.Med.202436183.80 (Source: Discovery Medicine)

Primary cutaneous nocardiosis of the ankle caused by N. brasiliensis: a case report
We present a 67-year-old woman who developed abscesseson the back of her right ankle after walking barefoot on soil. Cultures from the cutaneous lesions grewN. brasiliensis. Antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole given for a month provided near-complete resolution of her lesions. (Source: Infection)
