Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations and lethality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia [PDF]

GERMS, 2015
After the dissemination of penicillin and oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-intermediate and vancomycin resistant isolates have been reported. Even between isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) within the susceptible range, some authors have demonstrated that higher MICs correlate with higher lethality.To test ...

Statin Concentrations Below the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Attenuate the Virulence ofRhizopus oryzae [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Mucormycosis is a destructive invasive mold infection afflicting patients with diabetes and hematologic malignancies. Patients with diabetes are often treated with statins, which have been shown to have antifungal properties. We sought to examine the effects of statins on Rhizopus oryzae, a common cause of mucormycosis.Clinical strains of R.
