Genome sequencing defines phylogeny and spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a high transmission setting. [PDF]

, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial infection. Whole-genome sequencing of MRSA has been used to define phylogeny and transmission in well-resourced healthcare settings, yet the greatest burden of nosocomial ...

Nanocatalytic Immunotherapy Targeting Tumor‐Resident Intracellular Bacteria for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Treatment and Metastasis Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacteria residing within tumor cells contribute to breast cancer progression, but few therapies target their elimination. FeSe2 nanosheets coated with cancer cell membranes accumulate in tumors and generate reactive oxygen species under ultrasound, killing tumor cells and their harbored bacteria at the same time.

The Prevalence and the Risk Factors Which are Associated with Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus Which Harboured the Panton-ValentineLeukocidin Gene in Sikkim [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2012
Background: The clinical sequelae of PVL-positive S. aureus infection tend to be more severe than those of the PVL-negative ones. The strong association of the PVL toxin in the MRSA isolates suggests the methcillin-resistance which contributes to the

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in Thika Level 5 Hospital, Kenya: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen but little is known about its circulation in hospitals in developing countries. We aimed to describe carriage of S.aureus amongst inpatients in a mid-sized

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.
