Gram-negative toeweb infections have clinical manifest,ations of variable severity. In its mildest form, the affected tissue is damp, softened, boggy and white. But. more severe form may progress to marked denudation of second, third and fourth toewebs with a profuse serous or purulent discharge, and its treatment is difficult. We described a 39-year-old man who had ulcerated arid oozing patches on several toewebs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in bacterial cultures. We successfullg treated with split-thickness skin graft, and enoxacin on first, visit and enoxacin with gentamicin ointment, for 2 weeks on second visit.

A new synthetic pyridone carboxylic antimicrobial agent, Enoxacin (B-Mark(TM)) was administered orally in 37 cases of genitourinary tract infection and following results were obtained. 1. Among 12 cases of acute simple cystitis, the cure rate was 91.7%. 2. Among 6 cases of chronic complicated urinary tract infections, the cure rate was 66.7 %. 3. Among 9 cases of gonorrheal urethritis, the cure rate was 88.9%. 4. Among 10 cases of nongonorrheal urethritis, the cure rate was 60%. There was no serious side effects but mild G-I symptoms such as nausea, indigestion and fatigability were found. The results suggest that Enoxacin (B-Mark(TM)) is a useful antibacterial agent in the treatment of urinary tract infections, especially in acute simple cystitis and gonorrheal urethritis.

The susceptibilities of 45 clinical isolates of bacteroidis fragilis to cefaclor, ciproflxacin and imipenem were determined by new method, E-test (AB Bidisk, Solna, Sweden) and were compared with those from conventional agar dilution method by using brain heart infusion, Mueller-Hinton and Wilk:..s Chalgren agar plates. And the susceptibility of 60 clinical isolates of bacteroides fragilis group (B. fragilis 45 strains, B. distasonis 6 strains, B. ovatus 5 strains, B. thetaiotaomicron 4 strains) to 5 quinolones (ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin) were determined by in vitro agar dilution method. Compared with agar dilution MICs for B. fragilis 45 strains, 90.3% of E-test MICs were within +/- 1 dilution of the agar dilutions, and 98.4% were within 2 dilutions. And there were little effect of different medium bases to determine MICs except Mueller-Hinton agar. On Mueller-Hinton agar, B. fragilis showed have or no growth activity. In vitro susceptibility of B. fragilis group to quinolones, most of the test strains showed resistant patterns to quinolones except ofloxacin and there was little difference of susceptibility patterns between species of B. fragilis group.

Effect of Enoxacin (Flumark), an oral pyridone carboxylic acid, in the urinary tract infection was evaluated clinically and susceptibility of 292 strains of microorganism isolated from urine to the various antimicrobial agents was tested and compared. Thirty six patients with urinary tract infection were given with 300 to 600mg of Enoxacin daily for 7 to 14 days according to severity of urinary tract infection. The clinical symptoms and urinary findings improved in 30 patients (83.3%) and no clinical response was achieved in 6 patients (16.7%), but revealing 100% response in 9 patients of acute uncomplicated cystitis. In the antimicrobial susceptibility test, Enoxacin was much superior to aminoglycoside, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Serratia spp., Enterobacter spp. and other Pseudomonas spp.. Enoxacin is a very effective and safe antimicrobial agent in treatment of the urinary tract infection.

A preparation of water soluble components(EA) was made from carpophores of Elfvingia applanata(Pers.) Karst and its in vitro antibacterial activity on a number of bacterial species was examined by macrobroth dilution assay. Among 16 species of bacteria tested, the most potent antibacterial activity was observed against Staphylococcus epiderrnidis and Proteus vulgaris, of which MICs were 1.25 mg/ml. To investigate the antibacterial effects in combinations of EA with quinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, lomefloxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin, the fractional inhibitory concentrations(FICs) and the fractional inhibitory concentration indices(FICIs) for four bacterial strains were determined by macrobroth dilution checkerboard assay. Combinations of EA and quinolones exhibited either additive or indifferent effects of antibacterial activity in most instances. However, both synergistic and antagonistic effects were not observed in any cases.

AIMTo analyze the response factors of different quinolone antibiotics detected by evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD).

METHODSThe response factors of five different quinolones (enoxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, lomefloxacin and gatifloxacin) detected by ELSD were determined by using a YMC-Pack ODS-AM cloumn (150 mm x 4.6 mm ID, 5 microns) as analytical column and 0.5% triethylamine (adjusting pH 2.5 with trifluoroacetic acid)-acetonitrile (48:12) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6 mL.min-1, the temperature of the drift tube was set at 117 degrees C, and the flow of carrier gas at 3.0 L.min-1. Detector responses (A) and the amount of injection of each substance (m) were fitted to the logarithmic regression: log A = b log m + log a.

RESULTSThe linear regression equation obtained were: enoxacin: Y = 1.0799X + 2.7611, r2 = 0.9996; levofloxacin: Y = 1.0913X + 2.7235, r2 = 0.9997; ciprofloxacin: Y = 1.0828X + 2.7523, r2 = 0.9994; lomefloxacin: Y = 1.0891X + 2.7391, r2 = 0.9993; gatifloxacin: Y = 1.0878X + 2.7392, r2 = 0.9995. The differences between them were negligible.

CONCLUSIONDifferent quinolones can give the same responses with ELSD detection. So, the HPLC-ELSD methods can be applied to the determination of new substances by using another substance as reference.
