Objectives: Fosfomycin is a possible oral treatment for lower urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli with CTX-M extended-spectrum b-lactamases but is vulnerable to mutational resistance. Hypermutability among natural E. coli populations might facilitate the emergence of resistance to fosfomycin. We therefore examined the prevalence of mutators amongst urinary isolates of E. coli producing CTX-M b-lactamases. Methods: Urinary E. coli isolates with CTX-M b-lactamases n 220 ; were screened for resistance to both rifampicin and fosfomycin, as well as a mutator phenotype, by rifampicin and fosfomycin disc assays. Mutation frequencies for 10 isolates, identified as mutators by the initial disc screen, were determined in triplicate on agar with rifampicin or fosfomycin at 4 MIC and with fosfomycin or nitrofurantoin at 256 mg L. Results: The disc screen identified 10 likely mutators and quantitative tests indicated that 9 of these had mutation frequencies of 8.0 1061.5 104 for fosfomycin and 0.12.3 106 for rifampicin. These mutators were diverse in terms of PFGE type and 4 of the 10 were confirmed as strong mutators with rifampicin and fosfomycin. Only the strongest mutator isolate and hypermutable MutS control strain consistently gave single-step mutants resistant to 256 mg L fosfomycin. No nitrofurantoin-resistant mutants were selected from any isolate, although they could be selected from the hypermutable MutS control strain. Conclusions: Mutator phenotypes were found among E. coli expressing CTX-M b-lactamases and were independent of strain type. These had an increased propensity to fosfomycin resistance. Keywords: hypermutators, nitrofurantoin, UTIs.

SECTION I: SELF-EVALUATION Although we don't have all high technology available in today's ophthalmology our medical equipment has modernised significantly during the last years. This provides possibility to diagnose and treat eye diseases in the level accepted world-wide. Weaknesses Most of eye diseases met in general practise are treated in the outpatient department. The reception rooms of outpatient department are overloaded even in small courses. We also don't have video device connected to the slitlamp. This makes evaluation of patients by all students very time consuming and reduces willingness of the patients to participate in the teaching process. The tutorial teaching room is limited for small-group teaching and has been overloaded during large courses. The half of the teaching staff has quite short teaching experience. 4. Describe the innovations in your teaching. The availability of commercial video presentations and colour slides has considerably added vividness and clarity to the lectures. Eye surgery is demonstrated in the operating room using video system. 5. Name the factors which most disturb teaching excluding financial resources ; . In hospital it is sometimes difficult to demonstrate even very common eye diseases in the patients because of day-case surgery and shortened beddays. Computer-aided teaching methods are not yet available in the department. II. EVALUATION OF TEACHING 6. How is the quality of the teaching in your department evaluated? Open atmosphere between the students and teachers allows immediate and direct feedback during and after teaching. The anonymous questionnaire has been used to evaluate the teaching. 7. How are the content and the modes of the teaching changed on the basis of the evaluation? Some of lectures are now available in the Department website. The summaries of the subject are provided to the students at the beginning of a tutorial teaching. III. PEDAGOGIC TRAINING OF STAFF 8. How many of the teachers have received pedagogic training? The teachers have had no systematic pedagogic training. Docent Panov has been participating in the lectures in which pedagogic and psychological aspects of teaching were considered. 396 and meclizine.

Redox dye-based aerobic assays Alamar Blue assay, tetrazoliumbased assay, resazurin reduction assay ; have been used to assess drug susceptibility of M. tuberculosis isolates.4, 5, 8, 12 Here we combined the in vitro model of dormancy with the resazurin reduction assay to develop robust whole cell assays to screen for anti-dormancy anti-tubercular compounds using H37Rv, BCG and M. smegmatis. Furthermore, all the nitrofurans showed substantial bactericidal activity in the aerobic REMA assay; these results were in agreement with previous observations, 3 in BCG by the cfu assay. MICs of streptomycin, ethambutol and ofloxacin against the fast-growing mycobacterium M. smegmatis matched with those obtained for H37Rv and BCG and also correlated well among the REMA and cfu assays. The MIC obtained by both REMA and cfu assays for rifampicin was higher than that obtained with H37Rv and BCG but similar to a previous finding in M. smegmatis.17 For isoniazid, ethionamide and p-aminosalicylic acid, higher MICs were obtained by the REMA assay. Since the MICs for these drugs by the cfu assay were comparable to those for slow-growing mycobacteria, the apparently discrepant REMA MICs may be ascribed to the rapid growth of M. smegmatis in the liquid medium with an associated overexpression of the target genes, 18, 19 and not due to inherent differences in the mechanism s ; of drug action between the species. Broadly speaking, the efficiency and the advantages of using M. smegmatis for the rapid and safe screening of anti-tubercular compounds outweigh the quantitative discrepancies in MICs that may be noted between H37Rv and the surrogate strain. Four drugs including metronidazole, nitrofurazone, furaltadone and nitrofurantoin, were used to develop the hypoxic HyRRA assay, as they were previously reported to exhibit anti-mycobacterial activity under anoxic conditions.2, 11 In the presence of metronidazole at 1711.6 mg L 10 mM ; the cultures remained blue post-resazurin addition and thereby confirmed bactericidal activity of metronidazole against dormant mycobacteria Figure S1 ; . Furthermore, isoniazid-treated H37Rv cultures remained pink even at test concentrations that were .10-fold higher than the MIC for aerobically cultured H37Rv Figure S1 this confirmed the dormant nature of hypoxia-adapted cultures in the HyRRA assay. At higher concentration of nitrofurans, a concordance in drug MICs was noted for HyRRA and cfu assays Figure 1a ; . However, at 10-fold lower drug concentrations, a disparity was noted for some of the drugs. For instance, by the cfu assay .99% loss of H37Rv viability was noted in the presence of 9.9 mg L 50 mM ; of nitrofurazone; however, by the HyRRA assay only 49% loss of viability was observed. Similarly, only 43% and 15% loss in viability was observed in the presence of 171.16 mg L 1 mM ; and 85.58 mg L 500 mM ; of metronidazole in contrast to 95% and 89% inhibition obtained with the cfu assay. On the other hand, a consensus in MIC was noted with nitrofurantoin by both the assays. The differences in MICs by the two assays might be explained by the fact that dormant cultures of H37Rv were unable to grow on solid medium plates but were maintained in viable form in broth cultures.20 Therefore, broth culture-based HyRRA assay truly reports the loss of viability in drug-treated dormant cultures and determines the MICs more accurately. Analogous drug assays were also established for BCG and M. smegmatis and MICs of test drugs were comparable to those obtained for H37Rv Figure 1b and c ; . In smegmatis MICs of nitrofurans were more than 10-fold higher !500 mM ; by the HyRRA assay in comparison with those determined by the cfu assay. A useful feature of the HyRRA assay is its ability to distinguish between the bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect of a drug. An overnight incubation of drug-treated dormant culture with resazurin reported bacterial viability by a change in colour of the redox dye Figure S1 ; . Prolonged incubation of these and colace.

Reductase Fig. 3 ; and since mitochondria generatesignificant amounts of glutathione peroxidase substrates e.g. Refs. 51, 52 ; , theobserved oxidation of GSH is readily explained. The reason for the selective reduction states of NADH is less certain. Apparently, rhein further reduces the capacity for NAD P ; reduction. Since it inhibits NADH dehydrogenase at a site distinctfrom that of rotenone 44 ; , may further it reduce leakage-dependent production of NADH by reverse electron transport. In addition, the structure compound of the Fig. 1 ; shows that it is relatively lipophilic and a weak acid. Therefore, rheinshould be accumulated into the matrix space at the expense of the pH gradient and may reach intramitochondrialconcentrations which are high enough to allow inhibition of theotherNAD P ; -dependent dehydrogenase 44 ; . Sincethe compound also inhibitsenergy-dependent transhydrogenase 44 ; , NADPH becomes highly isolated from electron flow from either direction within the pathway shown in Fig. 8. Any remaining source of NADPH A'H2 in Fig. 8 ; could then readily maintain a reduced state of that nucleotide as seen in Fig. 5 or produce a specific rereduction of NADP as seen in Fig. 6. Alternatively, it is probable that the inhibitions of transhydrogenase and glutathione reductase by rhein are not complete. If the remaining activity transhydrogenof ase happens tobe greater than that glutathione reductase, of an accumulation of NADPH would be expected due to the energy-linked character of that reaction which shiftsthe equilibrium strongly towards NADPH 53-55 ; . Two little is known about the inhibitory actions of nitrofurantoin to discuss its sites of action in detail. However, it is clear from Table I1 that withrespect tothe production of selective reduction states it has activities analogous to those of rhein. The data in Fig. 7 do not support a direct role for pyridine nucleotide ratios in regulating the sensitivityof mitochondria to the permeability increase produced by Ca2 + .Regardless of whether both nucleotides are oxidized or reduced or differof entially oxidized and reduced at the time Ca2 + addition, the mitochondria become permeable upon accumulating the cation, providing that the content of GSH is low.

Metidine, nitrofurantoin, and probenecid did not overlap the range encompassing the 95% confidence intervals of 50 to 200% of the predicted M S values for each of these drugs. The respective M S observed values were 103, 9.3, and 4.7 times predicted for nitrofurantoin, cimetidine, and probenecid. However, the confidence intervals overlapped for the predicted and observed M S of p-aminohippurate. Table 1 provides the M S and Cls for the agents studied in the absence or presence of an inhibitor. Steady state was achieved in each infusion for each agent data not shown ; . Figures 1 and 2 provide steady-state plots of the serum and milk concentrations for a group of rats receiving cimetidine and nitrofurantoin. The M S for cimetidine was significantly decreased by coadministration of nitrofurantoin. Also, nitrofurantoin decreased cimetidine Cls. The coadministration of cimetidine did not significantly alter the M S of nitrofurantoin. However, cimetidine inhibited the Cls of nitrofurantoin. Probenecid increased the M S of cimetidine but did not alter cimetidine Cls. Probenecid did not significantly change either nitrofurantoin M S or Cls. The M S of PAH was not significantly changed by probenecid. Furthermore, it was not.

Probably is adsorption of nitrofurantoin onto the surface of magnesium trisilicate. Uricosuric drugs, such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone, can inhibit renal tubular secretion of nitrofurantoin. The resulting increase in nitrofurantoin serum levels may increase toxicity, and the decreased urinary levels could lessen its efficacy as a urinary tract antibacterial. Drug Laboratory Test Interactions: As a result of the presence of nitrofurantoin, a false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine may occur. This has been observed with Benedict's and Fehling's solutions but not with the glucose enzymatic test. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: Nitrofkrantoin was not carcinogenic when fed to female Holtzman rats for 44.5 weeks or to female Sprague-Dawley rats for 75 weeks. Two chronic rodent bioassays utilizing male and female Sprague-Dawley rats and two chronic bioassays in Swiss mice and in BDF1 mice revealed no evidence of carcinogenicity. Ni6rofurantoin presented evidence of carcinogenic activity in female B6C3F1 mice as shown by increased incidences of tubular adenomas, benign mixed tumors, and granulosa cell tumors of the ovary. In male F344 N rats, there were increased incidences of uncommon kidney tubular cell neoplasms, osteosarcomas of the bone, and neoplasms of the subcutaneous tissue. In one study involving subcutaneous administration of 75 mg kg nitrofurantoin to pregnant female mice, lung papillary adenomas of unknown significance were observed in the F1 generation. Nitrofurantoih has been shown to induce point mutations in certain strains of Salmonella typhimurium and forward mutations in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. Nitrofurantin induced increased numbers of sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells but not in human cells in culture. Results of the sex-linked recessive lethal assay in Drosophila were negative after administration of nitrofurantoin by feeding or by injection. Njtrofurantoin did not induce heritable mutation in the rodent models examined. The significance of the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity findings relative to the therapeutic use of nitrofurantoin in humans is unknown. The administration of high doses of nitrofurantoin to rats causes temporary spermatogenic arrest; this is reversible on discontinuing the drug. Doses of 10 mg kg day or greater in healthy human males may, in certain unpredictable instances, produce a slight to moderate spermatogenic arrest with a decrease in sperm count. Pregnancy: Teratogenic effects: Pregnancy Category B. Several reproduction studies have been performed in rabbits and rats at doses up to six times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to nitrofurantoin. In a single published study conducted in mice at 68 times the human dose based on mg kg administered to the dam ; , growth retardation and a low incidence of minor and common malformations were observed. However, at 25 times the human dose, fetal malformations were not observed; the relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Non-teratogenic effects: Nitrofurantoin has been shown in one published transplacental carcinogenicity study to induce lung papillary adenomas in the F1 generation mice at doses 19 times the human dose on a mg kg basis. The relationship of this finding to potential human carcinogenesis is presently unknown.

I. Results Did your results meet the goal? If yes, you do not need to go any further. However, if you set your goal at 100% and you identified some trend in the resident cases not meeting the standard, you should evaluate this to improve care if possible. If no, proceed to the next step. Example: Goal not met. 80% of residents 8 out of 10 ; on nitrofurantoin have a CrCl 40 ml min. II. Root-cause analysis What factors may influence the problem? What causes are identified using the cause and effect diagram fishbone ; ? See Worksheet G from : sdfmc ClassLibrary Page Information DataInstances 81 Files 251 Steps to Quality Improvement ; 1 ; . Example: The two residents not having a CrCl 40 ml min did not have a creatinine level done. The process was reviewed and it was found that no safeguards are in place to assure creatinine levels are ordered for those on nitrofurantoin. III. Implementation strategy What can be done to correct the cause of the deviation from the desired results? A. What is the change? B. Who will implement it? C. Where will it start? all of the facility or trial in part ; D. When will it start? E. When will it be evaluated? F. Share the results with staff. Example: A procedure was put into place so that when an order for nitrofurantoin is processed by nursing staff, the nurse will obtain an order for a creatinine level. Staff was provided with an inservice on UTIs and the data was reviewed. IV. Follow-up Evaluation Use the same monitor that identified the opportunity for improvement unless information from the quality improvement process has helped to refine the monitor. Example: 2 months later data was collected using the monitor and the results found 100% of the residents 9 of 9 ; had a creatinine clearance 40 ml min. V. Continue quality improvement process until desired results have been obtained and then periodically screen as necessary. Example: Monitor was repeated one more time 6 months later. The goal was met and the monitor was checked routinely at 24-month intervals sooner if the consultant's reviews indicated problems.
