Sudol uses fractions of coal tar rich in xylenols and ethylphenols. It is much more active and less corrosive than lysol, and remains more active in the presence of organic matter. The phenol coefficients of sudol against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are 6.3, 6, and 4, respectively. It also is slowly sporicidal (97). 

Tricyclic pyrazole derivatives (698) are described by Hashem et al. as inhibitors of the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus and KB cells at moderate concentrations (76JMC229). 

Coulthard for amoebicidal action. Each kind of activity increases to a peak as the series is ascended and then diminishes. In the 0-n-alkyl series the peak is at 0-n-butylharmol for Bacillus typhosus, at 0-n-amyl-harmol for Staphylococcus aureus and at 0-n-nonylharmol for Entamoeba histolytica. In the 0-io-diethylaminoalkyl series the peak for B. typhosus is at 0-to-diethylaminononylharmol. No trypanocidal or anti-malarial action was observed in a selection of the compounds tested. ... 

Oxazolidinones are a new class of synthetic antimicrobial agents, which have activity against many important pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and others. Oxazolidinones (e.g. linezolid or eperezolid) inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting the formation of the 70S initiation complex by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit close to the interface with the 3OS subunit. 

The sulfonamides are often used to control urinary tract infections caused by certain bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella-Enterobacter. Mafenide (Sulfamylon) and silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) are topical sulfonamides used in the treatment of second- and third-degree bums. Additional uses of the sulfonamides are given in the Summary Drug Table The Sulfonamides. 

Leucocidins kill leucocytes and are produced by many strains of streptococci, most strains of Staphylococcus aureus and likewise most strains of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, isolated from sites of infection. 

Deformylation of nascent polypeptides has been shown to be a function essential for growth in E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae [15-18]. Moreover, antibacterial mode of action studies, using S. pneumoniae or S. aureus strains in which the expression of PDF is controlled by regulatable promoters, have shown that the antibacterial activity of PDF inhibitors is due to their inhibition of the PDF enzyme, as the susceptibility of the strains to these compounds is dependent on the amount of protein present in the cell [19-21]. These results further validate PDF as a target for novel antibiotics. 

If conventional treatment fails, unresolved diaper rash can also lead to secondary bacterial infections. Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci are the most likely pathogens responsible for these infections and require treatment with systemic antibiotics.3 37 While topical protectants may be used as an adjunct in treatment, suspected bacterial infections should always be referred to a physician for accurate diagnosis and the selection of an appropriate antibacterial regimen.34 Figure 62-7 shows a useful algorithm for the effective treatment of diaper dermatitis. 

O Impetigo is a skin infection that most commonly afflicts young children. It is caused by group A streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus and is characterized by the development of numerous blisters that rupture and form crusts. Dicloxacillin, cephalexin, and topical mupirocin are considered the antibiotics of choice for treatment of impetigo. 

Oral, narrow-spectrum antibiotic therapy with activity against Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcal species. Include coverage for MRSA (HA- or CA-MRSA) according to patient history and resistance patterns in the area. 

The types of microorganisms found in various products are Pseudomonas species, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella, species, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. The USP and other pharmacopoeias recommend certain classes of products to be tested for specified microbial contaminants, e.g., natural plant, animal, and some mineral products for the absence of Salmonella species, suspensions for the absence of E. coli, and topically administered products for the absence of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Emulsions are especially susceptible to contamination by fungi and yeasts. Consumer use may also result in the introduction of microorganisms. For aqueous-based products, it is therefore mandatory to include a preservative in the formulation in order to provide further assurance that the product retains its pharmaceutically acceptable characteristics until it is used by the patient. 

In microbes without a permeability barrier, or when the barrier fails, a mechanism must be in place to export metals from the cytoplasm. These active transport systems involve energy-dependent, membrane-bound efflux pumps that can be encoded by either chromosomal- or plasmid-borne genes. Active transport is the most well-studied metal resistance mechanism. Some of these include the ars operon for exporting arsenic from E. coli, the cad system for exporting cadmium from Staphylococcus aureus, and the cop operon for removing excess copper from Enterococcus hiraeP i9A0...

The pyridazino[6,l-A quinazoline 114 (Ar = 4-biphenyl) exhibited high in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and anifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus <2001RRC649>. 

The compound 7-(4-chloro-benzyl)-2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3,8a-dihydro-pyridazino[4,3-( ][l,3,4] thiadiazin-8-one 42 has been reported to be active against Bacillus Escherchia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by a serial dilution method <2001IJB475>. Triazino-thiadiazines 24f, 25b, 25c, and 25f <2002IJH287> have been reported to be active against S. aureus-, sydnone derivatives of triazino-thiadiazine 24f <2002IJH287> are more reactive than coumarin derivatives. 

Microbial limits. Carry out the test according to the general procedure <61 >. The total count does not exceed 100 microorganisms per gram, and tests for Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are negative.

The majority of SSTIs are caused by gram-positive organisms and, less commonly, gram-negative bacteria present on the skin surface. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes account for the majority of SSTIs. Community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has recently emerged and it is often isolated in otherwise healthy patients.
