Interlaboratory study comparing the microbiological potency of spiramycins I, II and III36687

An interlaboratory study has been performed to determine the relative potencies of spiramycins (SPMs) I, II and III by diffusion or/and turbidimetric assays with Bacillus subtilis or Staphylococcus aureus as the test organisms. Six laboratories from three countries participated. Experimental procedures were according to the European Pharmacopoeia, 3rd ed. The activity of SPM I is markedly higher than that of SPM II and III. By diffusion, the activities of SPM II and III relative to SPM I were found to be 57 and 72%, respectively. The interlaboratory relative standard deviations (RSD) varied from 3.6 to 16.3%. By turbidimetry, the activities of SPM II and III relative to SPM I were found to be 45 and 52%, respectively. The interlaboratory RSD values varied from 2.6 to 7.7%. The results of the study were analyzed according to the ISO 5725-2 guidelines to determine the repeatability, the between-laboratory and the reproducibility variances of both methods</p

Development of clinical pharmacy services in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Germany, Japan, Kosovo, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Thailand, USA and correlation with educational standards, level of research, and implementation practices

© 2018 Dustri-Verlag Dr. Karl Feistle. All rights reserved. Objective: This study aimed to compare determinants of professional development between different countries to identify barriers and facilitators of development towards clinical pharmacy services and stimulate discussion of under-used potential and opportunities. Materials: The study was conceived as a survey. The questionnaire was administered to a group of experts. Methods: The survey was conducted as a cross-sectional study with descriptive and correlation analysis. A questionnaire was developed and adjusted to the study focus, covering aspects on general regulations for community pharmacies, professional education, implementation of clinical pharmacy services, and research in patient care. Results were compared for analyses. Results: A total of twelve countries were included in this survey. Pharmacy studies took between 4 and 6 years plus residency in most countries. Curricula remained drug-oriented only in Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Germany; these three countries had the least pharmacotherapy content in their curricula. Canada, the USA, and Australia have established clinical pharmacy services in almost all fields of practice. Most other countries have implemented at least some clinical services, with the exception of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Germany, and Kosovo. The correlation coefficient between education, research, and implementation was 0.91. Conclusion: The results of the survey show that clinical pharmacy services are established to very different extents among the participating countries. The strong correlation suggests that achieving a successful transition in professional practice needs to address several aspects of education and research to reach progress. The collected data might help to identify potential areas of improvement to foster implementation of clinical pharmacy services
