Imaging of drug-induced lung disease
Published in Philippe Camus, Edward C Rosenow, Drug-induced and Iatrogenic Respiratory Disease, 2010
Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial used to treat urinary tract infections. Although nitrofurantoin-induced lung injury is uncommon, this is a frequently encountered cause of pulmonary toxicity because of the frequency with which nitrofurantoin is prescribed.6 Both acute and chronic drug-induced injury has been reported.

The antibiotic sensitivity assay of bacterial pathogens against different antibiotics {Ampicillin (10 mcg); Bacitracin (10 units); Cefotaxime (30 mcg); Chloramphenicol (30 mcg); Co-trimoxazole, (25 mcg); Erythromycin (15mcg); Oxytetracycline (30 mcg); Norfloxacin (10 mcg); Nitrofurantoin (300 mcg); Novobiocin (30 mcg); Penicillin (10 units); Tetracycline (30 mcg); Vancomycin (30 mcg) (Hi-Media, India)} was performed as per standard microbiological method [41]. Briefly, the overnight grown individual pathogen was separately lawn cultured on Muller Hinton agar plates and then antibiotic discs were firmly placed into the seeded agar plates. Finally plates were incubated at 30°C for 24 h and after incubation, the zone of inhibition was measured and interpreted as sensitive, resistant, and intermediate sensitive.

Overall, E. coli isolates retrieved in this study demonstrated high levels of antimicrobial resistance, with 85.71% of all E. coli isolates demonstrated MDR (n = 48) and 82.00% exhibited a MARI value of more than 0.2 (Krumperman 1983). Escherichia coli retrieved demonstrated resistance to tetracycline (80.36%, n = 45), amoxicillin (73.21%, n = 41), ampicillin (71.43%, n = 40), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (66.07%, n = 37), cephalothin (64.29%, n = 36), nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin (57.14%, n = 32), chloramphenicol (50%, n = 28) to, streptomycin (46.43%, n = 26) to, nitrofurantoin (41.07%, n = 23) and gentamicin (10.71%, n = 6) (Figure 1, Table 3). Therefore, multidrug resistant E. coli was detected from 12.8% of samples, with 11.2% from ESV and 14.4% from TSV (Figure 1).

Antimicrobial susceptibility of these strains was assessed by the standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and E.test on Muller Hinton Agar medium. Antibiotic disks’ penicillin G (10 units), ampicillin (10 µg), vancomycin (30 µg), tetracycline (30 µg), minocycline (30 µg), ciprofloxacin (5 µg), levofloxacin (5 µg), gatifloxacin (5 µg), nitrofurantoin (300 µg), gentamicin (120 µg), and linezolid (30 µg) were used in the disk diffusion method (MAST GROUP Ltd., United kingdom). MIC Test Strips (Liofilchem®, Italy) were used for detection of antimicrobial susceptibility to daptomycin and vancomycin. Interpretation of results was performed according to the standard recommendation of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (CLSI, 2014). E. faecalis ATCC 29212 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 were used as reference control strains.
