Two different series of N-substituted imidazolium oximes and their monoquaternary salts were synthesized and biologically tested with respect to their ability to inhibit growth a diverse panel of antibiotic susceptible Gram-positive and antibiotic resistant Gram-negative bacteria as well fungal strains. The newly synthesized compounds were analyzed by spectral studies to confirm their structure. The preliminary results showed that all compounds tested possess promising antimicrobial potential against both susceptible Gram-positive and antibiotic resistant Gram-negative isolates, exhibiting a wide range of MIC values from 0.14 to 100.0 μg/mL. The structure-activity relationship demonstrates that the p-methylphenyl and p-fluorophenyl groups in monoquaternary salts 6 and 7 attached directly to the imidazolium ring could be essential for observed remarkable inhibitory profiles against clinically important pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC=0.14 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC=1.56 μg/mL). Furthermore, the broth microdilution assay was then used to investigate the antiresistance efficacy of compound 7 against fourteen extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains in comparison to eight clinically relevant antibiotics. Compound 7 exhibited a remarkable antiresistance profiles ranging between 0.39 and 12.50 μg/mL against all of ESBL-producing strains, which leads to the suggestion that may be interesting candidate for development of new antimicrobials to combat multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Human beings today living in high industrialized areas suffer more frequently from fungal diseases than before. This is due to the management in animal production, but also to the use of cosmetics and contraceptives, smoking cigarettes, wearing clothes of synthetic polymers and application of new drugs, like antibiotics, cytostatics, immunosuppressives and others, which favours the growth of certain fungi in and on the skin and inside the human body. Some mechanisms are known from the macroorganism which are able to protect man from fungal invasion. Effective in this way are the normal flora of the skin, gut and the mucous membranes, the enzymes digestive and the natural low pH of the healthy skin. The fungal growths are favoured when primary diseases of not-infectious genesis due to disorders in metabolism or endocrinium, vitamin deficiency, malabsorption, maldigestion, false and malnutrition, and diseases of the haemopoetic system exist. But also viral and bacterial infections stimulate the development of secondary fungal diseases. The pathogens belong to three groups, dermatophytes, yeasts and molds, which can be differentiated according to their behaviour in culture and in tissue.

In a 15-year-old boy a culture-proved keratitis after a corneal perforation healed without antifungal agents after corneal suturing and application of tissue glue. Eight months later a posterior corneal abscess developed. Diagnostic and therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty was performed when the lesion failed to respond to pimaricin. Cultures were positive for Acremonium potronii, the same fungus isolated from the original corneal laceration eight months previously. To our acknowledge, this is the first case report of a central corneal ulcer or abscess due to this specific organism.

Uremia is defined as the accumulation of nitrogenous waste products in the blood. Uremia may be caused by either acute or chronic renal failure. Uremic stomatitis represents a relatively uncommon intraoral complication of uremia. Uremic stomatitis has classically been divided into ulcerative and nonulcerative types. Reported here is a patient with chronic renal failure exhibiting intraoral lesions that persisted despite local treatment but rapidly cleared following renal dialysis. This case represents the first published report of the microscopic appearance of the nonulcerative type and presents unusual tissue changes heretofore unreported.
