Antimicrobial activity of psychotropic drugs

Munoz-Bellido, J.L, Munoz-Criado, S, Garcı̀a-Rodrı̀guez, J.A·2000·International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents

Abstract

Psychotropic drugs have been shown to have antimicrobial activity against several groups of microorganisms. Some of these drugs, such as the new antidepressant agents sertraline, fluoxetine and paroxetine are known to act as efflux pump inhibitors in human cells. Their activity has been studied, alone and combined with antibiotics, against bacterial species, mainly in multiply resistant strains. These agents have surprising activity, mainly against Gram positive microorganisms. They also show synergistic activity when combined with some antibiotics against several bacteria, shown by a decrease in MICs, that converts strains previously resistant to the category of sensitive, and modify physiological aspects related with pathogenicity.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The action of antidepressants and neuroleptics in microbes involves different biological processes, and several different components could be the target of these drugs.

    “As reported in several works, the action of antidepressants and neuroleptics in microbes involves different biological processes, and it is suggested that several different components could be the target of these drugs [61].”
  • Antidepressants are well known to have antimicrobial effects, modulating the pathophysiology of anxiety and depression by reshaping not only brain biochemistry, but also the gut microbiota.

    “Antidepressants are well known to have antimicrobial effects, modulating the pathophysiology of the anxiety and depression by reshaping not only brain biochemistry, but also the gut microbiota [159,160].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
