Prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated from different biological samples at Policlinico Umberto I of Rome: correlation with vancomycin susceptibility

Microbiologia Medica, 2011
The methicillin-resistance is increasing all over the world in the last decade. It is more frequent among coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS); infact the 52% of S. epidermidis strains results to be resistant to methicillin.The methicillin-resistant

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Staphylococci Isolated from Burn Patients

Libyan Journal of Medicine, 2009
Clindamycin has been used successfully to treat pneumonia and soft-tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. However, inducible clindamycin resistance has been described as a cause of treatment failure of such infections. A

A decade of antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus: A single center experience.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundThe emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) resulted in the recommended use of clindamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for suspected S. aureus infections.

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

A systematic scoping review of metrics utilized to measure antibiotic consumption in hospital settings

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs were introduced to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials and to combat antimicrobial resistance. Quantifying antibiotic consumption is an important part of AMS initiatives to achieve these objectives.

Impact of cumulative glucocorticoid exposure on vancomycin clearance in hospitalized children: A retrospective cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Prior glucocorticoid exposure is associated with modestly increased vancomycin clearance in hospitalized children, partly mediated by renal function and inflammation and may contribute to subtherapeutic early drug exposure. Abstract Introduction Augmented renal clearance (ARC) can lead to subtherapeutic vancomycin exposure in children.

MT‐RNR1 genotype testing for preventing aminoglycoside‐mediated ototoxicity: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aminoglycosides are broad‐spectrum antibiotics used in the management of severe infections. Aminoglycosides are associated with nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Although dosing strategies such as once‐daily administration and therapeutic drug monitoring have reduced the incidence of nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity remains unpredictable and may occur at ...
