Palmitoleic acid sensitizes vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin by outpacing the expression of resistance genes

Microbiology Spectrum
The rise in antibiotic resistance limits the availability of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. Despite this, antibiotic development pipelines remain sparse which makes using adjuvants to reverse antibiotic resistance a promising therapeutic ...

Vancomycin-Polyguanidino Dendrimer Conjugates Inhibit Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria and Eradicate Biofilm-Associated S. aureus

The global challenge of antibiotic resistance necessitates the introduction of more effective antibiotics. Here we report a potentially general design strategy, exemplified with vancomycin, that improves and expands antibiotic performance. Vancomycin is

Peak Serum Vancomycin Levels Are Achieved Between 6 and 24 Hours After Implantation of Vancomycin‐Soaked Anterior Cruciate Ligament Grafts

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To examine systemic exposure and elution characteristics of liquid vancomycin‐soaked anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts in vivo by assessing serum vancomycin levels over 48 hours after ACL reconstruction and comparing the resulting concentrations with the toxic threshold of 15 to 20 μg/mL.

Transosseous Equivalent Meniscus Allograft Transplantation Using an All‐Suture‐Based Anchor Technique

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Meniscal allograft transplantation is a surgical solution for symptomatic meniscal deficiency aimed at restoring native knee biomechanics and tibiofemoral contact pressures with the goal of slowing the progression of osteoarthritis. Anatomic fixation of the meniscal root is essential to a successful outcome as this normalizes native ...
