ABSTRACT The present study includes the study of the inhibitory effect of vancomycin which has been used as the standard treatment for MRSA Staphylococcus aureus isolated from skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI). Res...

IntroductionThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), represents a critical threat to global public health. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strate...

A 26-month-old girl who had acute renal failure after a major cardiac operation received an accidental 4-fold vancomycin dose. She was already on peritoneal dialysis when the error in vancomycin dose and high serum vanco...

Abstract Background Empiric antimicrobial selection in orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is critically important as post-operative infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. While variability of ...

A simple and sensitive LC-ESI-MS method for determination of norvancomycin in plasma was developed and validated over the concentration range of 20-2,000 ng/mL. After addition of vancomycin as internal standard (IS), p...

BackgroundVancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VR-Efm) has shown a rising global trend. This study aimed to analyze the resistance patterns and risk factors of E. faecium bloodstream infections (BSIs) in hospitaliz...

ABSTRACT In this paper, we develop a photothermal‐responsive hydrogel (CNB‐ePRP) based on engineered platelet‐rich plasma (PRP)/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel integrating thrombin‐functionalized composite nanobott...

Abstract This study determined the antibiotic resistance patterns of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from the raw meat and feces of three game species from three different farms across South Africa. The Kirby-...

Peritonitis is a common clinical problem in patients treated by peritoneal dialysis. The most common organisms causing peritonitis are Gram-positive (especially staphylococcus species). Peritonitis with Streptococcus aga...

Peritonitis is the most common complication associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The aim of this case report was to present a rare case of peritonitis due to Kytococcus sedentarius. A 27-y...

OBJECTIVE: Acute renal failure is a life-threatening event in critically ill children. The dialysis modality depends on the clinical status of the patient and technical opportunities. We aimed to assess the renal replace...

Background: Gram-positive cocci, including Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (CONS), are major causes of nosocomial infections. The increasing prevalence of drug-r...

Abstract Objective Streptococcus agalactiae is an important pathogen in neonates and pregnant women. Neonatal invasive infections due to S. agalactiae are life-threatening and preventive strategies for this challenge o...

Abstract In this study, the antimicrobial activity of a bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus faecalis KT11, isolated from traditional Kargı Tulum cheese, was determined, and bacteriocin KT11 was partially characterized....

BackgroundThe ESKAPEE pathogens Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli are the leading causes of nosoco...

A 54-year-old female who had been receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy for 5 years because of end-stage renal disease, was admitted to hospital because of peritonitis due to Candida albicans. Ultra...

Background: Chronic dacryocystitis, characterized by persistent inflammation and infection of the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct, is a prevalent cause of ocular morbidity, particularly in rural India. Delayed diagnos...

ABSTRACT Twenty Escherichia coli strains from faecal samples of broiler chickens and blood, urine and diarrhea samples from humans were isolated and it’s sensitivity to (13) antibiotics were studied, they showed absolu...

BackgroundPatients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and prolonged neutropenia are at high risk for invasive fungal infections such as fusariosis, which represents the second most common pathogenic mold infection in this...

This study aimed to progress in designing a probiotic containing autochthonous Enterococcus gallinarum CRL 1826 for application during the life cycle of Lithobates catesbeianus in hatchery conditions. We assessed bacteri...

Background: Staphylococcus spp. are major pathogens causing diverse clinical infections. Evaluating their phenotypic characteristics and antimicrobial response across different culture media is essential for accurate dia...
