Azoreductases are well known for azo pro-drug activation by gut flora. We show that azoreductases have a wider role in drug metabolism than previously thought as they can also reduce and hence activate nitrofurazone. Nitrofurazone, a nitroaromatic drug, is a

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a major preventable cause of harm for patients in hospital. We aimed to establish whether short-term routine use of antimicrobial catheters reduced risk of CAUTI compared with standard polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) catheterisation. In our parallel

Electrochemical behavior of nitrofurazone (NFZ) was investigated with the use of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods. The pH-dependence of NFZ was studied at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in ethanol/Britton-Robinson buffer (30:70), and short-lived nitro-radicals were
