Background The effect of systemic treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) with telavancin, a semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide with good penetration in vitro biofilms, has not been tested in vivo during mechanical ventilation.

Background: Daptomycin (DAP) is indicated for difficult-to-treat Gram-positive infections, especially those caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Exposure of S.

Background The anti-biofilm efficacy of dalbavancin has been evaluated in static models. Using an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model, we evaluated the comparative activity of dalbavancin alone and with rifampicin against biofilm-embedded methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Methods Two MRSA strains (HUB-4/HUB-5) were evaluated with the Calgary Device System and the dynamic CDC-Biofilm Reactor over 144 h.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the use of ceftriaxone (CRO) in the treatment of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of CRO versus cefazolin (CFZ) for patients with MSSA bacteremia. Methods: This was a multi-center, single health-system retrospective study.

Respective activities of ceftaroline and ceftobiprole were reported against staphylococci isolated in 2008, 2013, 2017, 2018 from bacteraemia and lower respiratory tract infections in England and Ireland.1 Methicillin-susceptible staphylococci were susceptible to both molecules. The behavior of methicillin-resistant staphylococci was dependent on the bacterial species. Only 1/424 (0.23%) methicillin-resistant S.

Complex (CC) 398 livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) has been reported worldwide in a variety of food-animal species.

Multinational surveillance programmes for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are dependent on national structures for data collection. This study aimed to capture the diversity of national MRSA surveillance programmes and propose a framework for harmonisation of MRSA surveillance.

The antibiotic susceptibility patterns were correlated with particular spa types, and this correlation would help physicians select appropriate antibiotics for treatment of invasive MRSA infections. The aim of this research was to investigate invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through delineatingthe molecular typing results and correlating them with antibiotic susceptibility.

Abstract

Background

Although previous studies have suggested an association between livestock exposure and the risk of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in humans, it remains unclear whether there is a dose-response relationship.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between livestock exposure and MRSA carriage.
