Bacterial Infections: Phthalylsulfathiazole is effective against a range of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by susceptible strains of enteric bacteria. It is commonly used to treat infections of the gastrointestinal tract, such as bacterial diarrhea and enteritis.
Antidiarrheal: Phthalylsulfathiazole is often used as an antidiarrheal medication to reduce the frequency and severity of diarrhea associated with bacterial infections. By inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the intestines, it helps to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
Gastrointestinal Infections: It is indicated for the treatment of various gastrointestinal infections, including acute bacterial gastroenteritis, traveler's diarrhea, and enteric fever caused by susceptible organisms.
Mechanism of Action: Phthalylsulfathiazole works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. It interferes with the synthesis of bacterial folate, which is essential for the production of DNA and proteins in bacteria, thereby preventing their growth and replication.
Side Effects: Common side effects of phthalylsulfathiazole may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Allergic reactions, including skin rashes and itching, may occur in some individuals. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis may occur.
Drug Interactions: Phthalylsulfathiazole may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect the absorption or metabolism of the drug. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking phthalylsulfathiazole concurrently with other medications.
Dosage and Administration: Phthalylsulfathiazole is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or suspension. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the infection and the individual's age, weight, and medical history. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare provider.
Resistance: As with other antibiotics, the overuse or misuse of phthalylsulfathiazole can lead to the development of bacterial resistance, making future infections more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to use phthalylsulfathiazole judiciously and only when necessary.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| species | Akkermansia muciniphila | Reduces |
| species | Escherichia coli | Reduces |
| species | Lacticaseibacillus paracasei | Reduces |
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
