The selection of inpatient empiric antibiotic regimens is a significant challenge for hospitalists and clinicians today. Much is known about the increased incidence of acute kidney injury associated with the use of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam in combination compared to vancomycin and other beta-lactam combinations. What is less clear is the incidence of antibiotic associated acute kidney injury and outcomes in Black patients. Incidence rates of acute kidney injury are already known to be higher in Black patients compared to white patients, which makes extrapolating the risks of antibiotic associated acute kidney injury challenging. In addition, only one research paper has included a study population with greater than 50% Black patients.

A Schiff base (HL1), namely; [(S, Z)-2-((2-hydroxy-1-phenylethylidene) amino)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid] was synthesized by the condensation of 2-hydroxyacetophenone with an amino acid (L-Tyrosine) for one hour. Whereas, the other Schiff base (HL2), namely; (E)-4-((2-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazono) methyl)-N, N-dimethylaniline] was synthesized by refluxing 4- dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine for one hour. The first Schiff base (HL1) used ad primary ligand and the second one is used as secondary ligand to form five mixed ligand complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Fe(III) ions. The synthesized mixed ligand complexes were subjected to several physiochemical techniques, in terms; CHN elemental analyses, molar conductivity, magnetic moments and spectroscopic tools (FT-IR, 1HNMR, electronic, E.P.R and mass spectra). The analytical and spectroscopic data showed the presence of an octahedral geometry for all the mixed ligand complexes. The free Schiff bases, metal salts and mixed ligand complexes were tested for their antifungal activities on some pathogenic fungi species [A. niger, A. flavus, Alternaria alternata, Rhizopus stolonifer].
