Gram-positive bacterial infection in severe sepsis

Clinical Intensive Care, 2002
They may be involved in the initial insult precipitating an intensive care admission, but are also often acquired as nosocomial pathogens by critically ill patients. Although sepsis in the context of critical illness is a highly complex process often involving polymicrobial infection, 5-8 discussion of Gr am-po sitive sep sis in isolation is not ...

Serological detection of Gram-positive bacterial infection around prostheses

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 2000
Coagulase-negative staphylococci produce an exocellular glycolipid antigen which has potential as a serological marker of infection in bone. The value of this newly detected antigen was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 15 patients with culture-proven infection of prostheses caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

Teicoplanin- A New Agent for Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1988
Gram-positive bacterial infections remain a serious challenge for infectious disease practitioners. Many gram-positive organisms are developing new methods of antibiotic resistance, thus rendering our standard antimicrobial agents ineffective.

Management of gram-positive bacterial infections in patients with cancer

Leukemia & Lymphoma, 2011
Bacterial infections, particularly those due to gram-positive bacteria, continue to predominate in patients with cancer. Coagulase-negative and coagulase-positive staphylococci and enterococci remain as common pathogenic microorganisms. Clostridium difficile has emerged as a significant pathogen.

Daptomycin Therapy for Invasive Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections in Children

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2007
Clinical improvement is often delayed among children with invasive infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) despite use of standard antimicrobial therapy.

Glycopeptides and Antibiotics for Gram-positive Bacterial Infections

2016
Glycopeptides, lipopeptides and other antibiotics, such as linezolid and quinupristin/dalfopristin , are exclusively used for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Limited information is available about the dosing of these antibiotics in obese patients.

Benefit-Risk Assessment of Linezolid for Serious Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections

Drug Safety, 2008
Linezolid is an oxazolidinone, a new class of antibacterial with a unique mechanism of action, namely inhibition of the formation of a functional 70S initiation complex in the 50S bacterial ribosomal subunit. Linezolid is highly active against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive cocci, including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA ...

Antibiotic candidates for Gram-positive bacterial infections induce multidrug resistance

Science Translational Medicine
Several antibiotic candidates are in development against Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, but their long-term utility is unclear. To investigate this issue, we studied the laboratory evolution of resistance to antibiotics that have not yet reached the market.
