Evolving resistance among Gram-positive pathogens.
(The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2015)
Antimicrobial therapy is a key component of modern medical practice and a cornerstone for the development of complex clinical interventions in critically ill patients. Unfortunately, the increasing problem of antimicrobial ...
Serum concentration of vancomycin is a diagnostic predictor of nephrotoxic acute kidney injury in septic patients in clinical and surgical wards
(2020-01-01)
Introduction and Aim: There have been few studies to evaluate the monitoring of plasmatic concentrations of vancomycin in septic patients and their association with acute kidney injury (AKI) and death. This study aimed to ...
Vancomycin dosing, monitoring and toxicity: Critical review of the clinical practice
(2019-04-01)
Vancomycin is an antibiotic used in the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In the last decades, vancomycin has been widely ...
Outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in a tertiary hospital: The lack of effect of measures directed mainly by surveillance cultures and differences in response between Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2010)
To describe the effect of active surveillance to control vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) after an outbreak, 549 surveillance rectal cultures were performed in 308 patients (35% positive). An educational intervention ...
Risk factor of intestinal colonization with vancomycin resistant Enterococcus spp in hospitalized pediatric patients with oncological disease Factores de riesgo de colonización por Enterococcus spp resistente a vancomicina en pacientes pediátricos hospita
(Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia, 2015)
© 2015, Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia. All rights reserved. Background: The isolation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp (ERV) has increased significantly within the last few years, along with the risk of infection ...
Small hospitals matter: insights from the emergence and spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in 2 public hospitals in inner Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-07-01)
Although vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are reported in Brazil since 1996, data on their impact over settings of different complexity are scarce. We performed a study aimed at identifying determinants ofVRE emergence ...
First report of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis in Uberaba, Minas Gerais state
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2010)
In this study we report the first isolation of VanA-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis strains from two different patients hospitalized in the same intensive care unit at the hospital of Universidade Federal ...
Determinación de la susceptibilidad a la vancomicina en cepas de Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente (SARM) aisladas en un hospital de tercer nivel de complejidad de Medellín mediante varias pruebas de sensibilidad antimicrobianaVancomycin susceptibility determination through various antimicrobial susceptibility tests in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from a tertiary care hospital in Medellín.
(Universidad de Antioquia, Escuela de MicrobiologíaMicrobiología MolecularMedellín, Colombia, 2019)
Multiomics characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates with heterogeneous intermediate resistance to vancomycin (hVISA) in Latin America.
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
BACKGROUND: Heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) compromise the clinical efficacy of vancomycin. The hVISA isolates spontaneously produce vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) ...
