摘要:
A method for treatment of severe chronic bronchitis (bronchiectasis) using a concentrated aminoglycoside antibiotic formulation delivering the antibiotic to the lung endobronchial space including alveoli in an aerosol or dry powder having mass medium diameter predominately between 1 to 5 microns. The method comprises administration of the antibiotic in a concentration one to ten thousand times higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration of the target organism. Preferably, the method comprises endobronchial administration of aerosol or dry powder tobramycin to treat pseudomonal infections in severe chronic bronchitis (bronchiectasis) patients.

摘要:
A method for treatment of bacterial infections with rifalazil administered once-weekly, or twice-weekly. A method for treatment of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, infections caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae and infections caused by Helicobacter pylori by administering to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection 1-100 mg of rifalazil once or twice a week. In this dose regimen, the treatment is fast, efficacious and eliminates undesirable secondary symptoms observed with daily doses of 1-50 mg of rifalazil.

摘要:
A method and device (2) for the simultaneous production of chemical compounds in an array which is capable of providing a very broad range of reaction environments including reaction temperatures of -40 °C to 150 °C, reflux condensation, and a selective gas environment. The invention also allows the addition of several reagents (4) during the course of the production process. The device (2) is comprised of a number of different block sections (6, 24, 18) which are fastened together to provide the required reaction environment.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of quantifying bacteria in vivo or in vitro using bacterial reporter strains. In particular this invention provides a method utilizing mycobacterial reporter strains that permits rapid screening for in vivo antimycobacterial activity of various compositions. In addition this invention provides for particular mycobacterial reporter strains expressing the FFlux gene at levels sufficiently high to allow detection in tissue homogenates without lysis or concentration of the bacteria.
