metformin and Infections, Staphylococcal

metformin has been researched along with Infections, Staphylococcal in 3 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Metformin used for the treatment of diabetes increases transepithelial resistance (TEER) and partially prevents the effect of bacteria but the mechanisms of action are unclear."1.51Metformin attenuates the effect of Staphylococcus aureus on airway tight junctions by increasing PKCĪ¶-mediated phosphorylation of occludin.
