	Sulfonamide (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original antibacterial sulfonamides (sometimes called simply sulfa drugs) are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group.
		Sulfa allergies are common, hence medications containing sulfonamides are prescribed carefully.
		American soldiers were issued a first aid kit containing sulfa powder and were told to sprinkle sulfa on any open wound.

	Sulfa drug definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Sulfa drug: One of the sulfonamides, the sulfa-related antibiotics which are used to treat bacterial and some fungal infections.
		Because sulfa drugs concentrate in the urine before being excreted, treating urinary tract infections is one of their most common uses.
		Sulfa drugs can have a number of interactions with prescription and over-the-counter drugs (including PABA sunscreens), and are not appropriate for people with some health conditions.

	Differentiating Sulfur Compounds: Sulfa Drugs, Glucosamine Sulfate, Sulfur, and Sulfiting Agents
		Sulfa drugs are more appropriately labeled sulfonamides and are derivatives of para-amino benzoic acid.
		The sulfa drugs are usually not allergenic by themselves, but when a sulfonamide molecule is metabolized in the body, it is capable of attaching to proteins, thus forming a larger molecule that could serve as an allergen.
		A sulfite reaction is different from a sulfonamide allergy (a reaction to sulfa drugs) because sulfites and sulfonamides are entirely different chemicals and have unrelated mechanisms of reaction.

	Trimethoprim Sulfa
		This makes trimethoprim sulfa a good choice for skin infections or as a general antibiotic when the actual identity of the infecting organism is not known.
		Another advantage of trimethoprim sulfa is that it has minimal effect on the normal flora of the GI tract of the patient.
		Trimethoprim sulfa should not be used with cyclosporine (used for allergies, perianal fistulas, and immune suppression after organ transplant).

	Sulfa Use and Dihydropteroate Synthase Mutations \| CDC EID
		Failure of sulfa or sulfone (sulfa) prophylaxis against PCP has been reported in up to one fourth of patients (13,14).
		Sulfa or sulfone prophylaxis and geographic region predict mutations in the Pneumocystis carinii dihydropteroate synthase gene.
		Pneumocystis carinii mutations are associated with duration of sulfa or sulfone prophylaxis exposure in AIDS patients.

	Drugs - Sulfa
		Sulfonamides or sulfa drugs have the following general structures as shown in the graphic on the left.
		If A sulfa drug is used, the first enzyme is not to specific and can use the sulfonamide in the first reaction.
		If the sulfa drug has been substituted for the PABA, then the final enzyme is inhibited and no folic acid is produced.

	Sulfasalazine
		The bone is intact all the way down the intestinal tract until it is cleaved in the colon by resident bacteria releasing the two component molecules.
		The sulfa antibiotic is absorbed into the body and has minimal effect but the salicylic acid exerts its famous anti-inflammatory effects locally.
		The sulfa moiety of sulfasalazine, once absorbed into the body, is quickly bound to a protein carrier (i.e.

	Pneumocystis DHPS Mutations and Sulfa Resistance \| CDC EID
		Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.
		Sulfa medications appear to exert selective pressure on Pneumocystis (18), as the DHPS gene is more likely to display mutations in highly conserved regions in patients with PCP who have previously been exposed to sulfa medications (19–25).
