Clindamycin-rifampin combination therapy for staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infections: a retrospective observational study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
BackgroundStaphylococcal species account for more than 50% of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) and antimicrobial therapy with rifampin-based combination regimens has been shown effective.

Staphylococcal Biofilm Development: Structure, Regulation, and Treatment Strategies

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2020
In many natural and clinical settings, bacteria are associated with some type of biotic or abiotic surface that enables them to form biofilms, a multicellular lifestyle with bacteria embedded in an extracellular matrix.

A Novel Approach to Produce Metal–Metal Composites by Leveraging Immiscibility: Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Nanosilver‐Dispersed Titanium

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporating nanosized silver into titanium for antimicrobial materials exploits the metastable miscibility gap between silver and titanium. Silver nanoparticles are synthesized via pulsed laser ablation in liquid. Silver addition refines the microstructure, increases hardness by 30%, and reduces Staphylococcus capitis microbial adhesion by 70%, with ...

Staphylococcal decolonization to prevent surgical site infection: Is there a role in colorectal surgery?

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2022
Objective: We implemented a preoperative staphylococcal decolonization protocol for colorectal surgeries if efforts to further reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Tertiary-care, academic medical

Antimicrobial Titanium–Copper Alloys: The Role of Microstructure in Arc‐Melted Compositions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Copper‐containing titanium alloys show promise in combating orthopedic implant infections. This study explores the influence of heat treatment on Ti‐11.5Cu and Ti‐33Cu alloys, revealing that larger Ti2Cu precipitates (≈5 μm) enhance antimicrobial efficacy through increased surface contact. Results suggest contact sterilization is the primary mechanism,

Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus infections to consider in designing an effective vaccine. [PDF]

, 2010
_Staphylococcus aureus_ is a very versatile and adaptable microorganism. It can potentially infect virtually any host tissue. Given the appropriate conditions it can become a life-threatening pathogen, or a commensal colonizer of the nose.

Dynamics of bovine intramammary infections due to coagulase-negative staphylococci on four farms [PDF]

, 2014
The objectives of this study were to compare the impact of different coagulase-negative species (CNS) on udder health measured in terms of individual quarter milk somatic cell count (SCC) and duration of intramammary infection, and to get some insight ...

Vancomycin Dosing Practices, Trough Concentrations, and Predicted Area Under the Curve in Children With Suspected Invasive Staphylococcal Infections.

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2013
Recent guidelines recommend empiric vancomycin dosing of 60 mg/kg per day and consideration of higher trough concentrations (15-20 mcg/mL) in children with invasive infections.
