Nosocomial Infection Update [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1998
Historically, staphylococci, pseudomonads, and Escherichia coli have been the nosocomial infection troika; nosocomial pneumonia, surgical wound infections, and vascular access-related bacteremia have caused the most illness and death in hospitalized patients; and intensive care units have been the epicenters of antibiotic resistance.

Potent monoclonal antibodies against multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel immunization strategy using a low‐virulence, multidrug‐resistant strain yields synergistic monoclonal antibodies against hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. These antibodies provide cross‐serotype protection through a dual‐mechanism of pathogen clearance and immunomodulation, offering a promising non‐antibiotic therapeutic for resistant ...

Antibacterial Activity of Fresh and Autoclaved Platelet‐Rich Fibrin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa: An In Vitro Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This in vitro study compared the antibacterial effects of fresh and autoclaved platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Using standardized methodologies, that is, disk diffusion, colony‐forming unit assays, and scanning electron microscopy, this study reported that both fresh and autoclaved PRF exhibit antibacterial effects
