“…Antibacterial activity of cefotaxime, tetracycline and rifampicinand their combinations (rifampicin-cefotaxime and rifampicin-tetracycline) were evaluated against Gram-negative (E. coli and K. pneumoniae) bacterial strains. MIC measurement was performed employing an adapted version of the famous macro-broth dilution protocol [ 13 ]. MIC values of cefotaxime, tetracycline and rifampicin were found to be individually high for E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains.…”

“…We used an adapted protocol that was based on the famous macro broth dilution protocol as described by Ibrahim et al [ 13 ] to establish the values for minimum inhibitory-concentration (MIC). Bacterial culture which was incubated for 12 hours in nutrient broth was diluted 100 folds using sterile nutrient broth (100µl of bacterial-cultures added to 10ml of nutrient broth that had 105cfu of bacteria).…”

“…Apesar de poucos estudos que avaliaram a adesão no contexto brasileiro (n: 6), tendo em vista a quantidade de estudos realizados no contexto dos EUA (n:44), salientase que apesar do Brasil estar à frente de outros países desenvolvidos em termos de quantidades de estudos realizados, considerando a dimensão do seu território, densidade populacional, e problemas relacionados a adesão existentes (TAVARES et al, 2016) foram encontrados poucos estudos. No entanto, as pesquisas realizadas no Brasil sobre os fatores que influenciam na adesão trouxeram fatores relacionados ao custo (DENHAERYNCK et al, 2018;REMONDI;CABRERA;DE SOUZA, 2014) características sociodemográficas (TAVARES et al, 2016), semelhantes aos fatores encontrados em contextos dos demais países; todavia, o estudo de (REMONDI; CABRERA; DE SOUZA, 2014) apresentou como um facilitador para a adesão a presença do agente comunitário de saúde, característica passível de ser observada no contexto do Sistema Único de Saúde (MOROSINI; FONSECA, 2018) e, apesar dessa categoria profissional ser encontrada em diversos países (OLANIRAN et al, 2017) AMBAW et al, 2012;BURGE et al, 2005;CHEN et al, 2010;CHOUDHRY et al, 2011;DESAI et al, 2014;EL HELOU et al, 2019;FRECH et al, 2018b;GUPTE-SINGH;BARNER, 2015;KHANNA et al, 2012;KRAUSKOPF et al, 2015;LEFORT et al, 2018;LEMAY et al, 2018;MANN et al, 2009;MUZINA et al, 2011;RUSSELL;KAZANTZIS, 2008;TAVARES et al, 2016), quanto nos facilitadores (DESAI et al, 2014;GERADA et al, 2017;IBRAHIM et al, 2011;KOLIOS et al, 2019;MEKONNEN et al, 2017;NICKLAS;DUNBAR;…”

“…A categoria Fatores relacionados ao medicamento reuniu barreiras e facilitadores ligados ao medicamento seguindo a dimensão apresentada pelo OMS (SABATÉ, 2003); a polifarmácia como uma barreira interpretada das entrevistas dialoga com a revisão de escopo apresentada nessa tese, pois vários estudos apresentaram a polifarmácia como uma barreira para a adesão (AWAD; OSMAN; ALTAYIB, BROEKMANS et al, 2010;CHOUDHRY et al, 2011;DABAGHIAN et al, 2016;EVANS et al, 2016;IBRAHIM et al, 2011;IDIÁQUEZ et al, 2018;LEFORT et al, 2018;NAPOLITANO;NAPOLITANO;ANGELILLO, 2016;TAVARES et al, 2016), no entanto, é importante salientar que nas falas dos pacientes é possível observar que o incômodo causado pela polifarmácia não os impede de utilizar o medicamento, indo ao encontro dos resultados apresentados na revisão nessa tese, uma vez que alguns estudos apresentam a polifarmácia como um facilitador para a adesão (BURGUE et al, 2005;GRANT et al, [s.d. ]; SHALANSKY; LEVY, 2002;SHANI;LUSTMAN;VINKER, 2019;SURBHI et al, 2018).…”
