A short time to positivity (TTP), the period from incubation to blood culture positivity, may help predict mortality rates for patients with Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin-sensitive E faecium ...
We studied the prevalence of recurrent vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia, predisposing factors, and strain relatedness during a 3 year period at our institution. Of 36 inpatients who ...
Patients who are colonized with enteric vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) are a major reservoir for transmission of and infection with this organism. In a randomized, controlled study ...
Antimicrobials with the potential to act as immune stimulators and overcome bacterial resistance are emerging as important alternative approaches to fighting antimicrobial resistance The novel ...
Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...
Retrospective analysis was conducted to assess the presence of A faecalis infection, extensively drug-resistant A faecalis infection, and the susceptibility of commonly used antibiotics for the ...
Antibiotic resistance is spreading fast all over the world. When infectious bacteria mutate in a certain way and then multiply, they can become resistant to even the most powerful drugs. But research ...
Peptides and proteins incorporating an unusual amino acid, selenocysteine, easily conjugate with small molecules—including antibiotics to which bacteria have become resistant. Fortunately, ...
Sali Morris receives funding from the GW4 BioMed MRC DTP. The funding is for basic research into the regulatory networks that control antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus faecalis. James S. Horton ...
