Changes in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium causing outbreaks in Brazil
(W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2011)
Enterococci have been implicated in severe human infections as a consequence of associated determinants of virulence and antimicrobial resistance. The majority of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE(fm)) connected ...
Detection of heterogeneous vancomycin intermediate resistance in MRSA isolates from Latin America
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
BACKGROUND: Vancomycin is a common first-line option for MRSA infections. The heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) phenotype is associated with therapeutic failure. However, hVISA isolates ...
Susceptibility Profile of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus Isolated from Blood Cultures to Vancomycin and Novel Antimicrobial Drugs over a Period of 12 Years
(2016-06-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of 85 Staphylococcus epidermidis and 84 Staphylococcus haemolyticus strains isolated from blood cultures to oxacillin, vancomycin, tigecycline, ...
Elimination of routine screening and contact precautions for endemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus bacteremia: a retrospective study in intensive care units in Brazil
(International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC), 2023)
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Vancomycin
(2009)
Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, was developed and released in the 1950's for the treatment of aerobic gram-positive infections and has been widely used mainly in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus ...
Rapid detection of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) in rectal samples from patients admitted to intensive care units
(Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, 2009-08-01)
The reduction in time required to identify vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has gained increased importance during hospital outbreaks. In the present study, we implemented a laboratory protocol to speed up the VRE ...
N-acetylcysteine and vancomycin alone and in combination against staphylococci biofilm
(2013-07-18)
Introduction: The ability of staphylococci to produce biofilm is an important virulence mechanism that allows bacteria both to adhere and to live on artificial surfaces and to resist to the host immune factors and antibiotics. ...
