Vancomycin-induced severe thrombocytopenia in a young infant

, 2018
Vancomycin is a first-line drug for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Thrombocytopenia is a rare adverse reaction to vancomycin treatment, and there are no reports of vancomycin-induced thrombocytopenia (VIT) in infants.

Co‐Electrospinning Extracellular Matrix with Polycaprolactone Enables a Modular Approach to Balance Bioactivity and Mechanics of a Multifunctional Bone Wrap

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The incorporation of nondigested ECM and synthetic polymers into a co‐electrospinning system enables the decoupling of bioactivity and mechanical properties within a single wrap. This technique is used to develop a multifunctional bone wrap that achieves augmented membrane durability, sustained infection control, and enhanced vascularity for use in ...

Design and synthesis of modified peptide antibiotics of the vancomycin family [PDF]

, 2008
The ability of bacteria to constantly evolve new methods of resistance to antibacterial therapies represents a constant challenge in medicine. Emergence of strains of enterococci and S. Aureus that show resistance to vancomycin is an alarming phenomenon,

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) can overcome the cost of antibiotic resistance and may threaten vancomycin's clinical durability.

PLoS Pathogens
Vancomycin has proven remarkably durable to resistance evolution by Staphylococcus aureus despite widespread treatment with vancomycin in the clinic. Only 16 cases of vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) have been documented in the United States.
