Abstract: The invention relates to a halogenated salicylanilide selected from closantel, rafoxanide, oxyclozanide and niclosamide and derivatives thereof including salts, hydrates, esters and the like for use in the topical treatment or prevention of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus, in particular Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus, in particular Streptococcus pyogenes. Grain positive bacteria treated with the halogenated salicylanilides exhibit a very low frequency of appearance of resistant mutants compared to commonly used topical antibiotics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to halogenated salicylanilides, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof, for use in the treatment of an infection in a subject caused by Clostridium bacteria, particularly a C. difficile infection. The halogenated salicylanilides are expected to be useful in the treatment of C. difficile associated diseases including C. difficile associated diarrhoea and C. difficile associated colitis.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system is provided that enables synthetic testing of web applications using monitoring agents instrumented in web content. A playback engine is configured to receive a test script for testing a given web page and initiates loading of the given web page by a web browser. A monitoring agent has a tag embedded into a document object model of the given web page and is a script defined in accordance with the scripting language. During playback of the test script by the playback agent, the monitoring agent determines a performance metric for the given web page. A wait agent has a tag embedded into the markup language of the given web page. During building of the document object model for the given web page, operates to inject the tag for the monitoring agent into the document object model for the given web page.

Abstract: This invention relates to combination products comprising an amidine selected from dibromopropamidine and diminazene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof; and a tetracycline anti-bacterial agent. The combination products are suitable for use in the treatment of bacterial infections or diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to non-aqueous topical compositions comprising a halogenated salicylanilide and the use of such compositions in the topical treatment or prevention of diseases and infections, particularly conditions caused by Gram-positive bacteria, for example the topical treatment or prevention of skin infections such as acne, atopic dermatitis and impetigo. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the gel composition.

Abstract: A device for determining the ozone conversion rate of an ozone conversion element which is coated with a catalyst material, in particular of a radiator in a motor vehicle. The device having a first air-guidance passage and a second air-guidance passage for receiving air upstream and downstream of the ozone conversion element, the air-guidance passages being connected via a switching device to a third air-guidance passage, in which an ozone sensor element is arranged. By means of the switching device, either the airstream upstream of the ozone conversion element or the airstream downstream of the ozone conversion element can be passed to the ozone sensor element.
