  HEMATOLOGIC AND HEPATIC TOXICITIES FOLLOWING MULTIPLE DRUG ADMINISTRATION
Results of the study suggest that animals of group received amiodarone-glibenclamide-captopril-oxcarbazepine combination revealed comparatively more toxic effects than two other combinations. However, more studies on large number of animals and human beings are required to justify the use of multiple drug administration, since trial in man is the only way of establishing drug interactions.

NUEVAS ACTIVIDADES ANTIMICROBIANAS FRENTE A STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS CODIFICADAS POR BACTERIÓFAGOS
El problema de la resistencia a antibióticos que presentan algunas bacterias patógenas podría solventarse mediante el uso de proteínas fágicas con capacidad antimicrobiana. Este es el caso del dominio TG1, codificado por el bacteriófago vB_SauS-phiIPLA35, con actividad muramidasa sobre el peptidoglicano de Staphylococcus aureus, lo que le confiere un gran potencial como agente antiestafilocócico.
