Vancomycin-resistant enterococci: eradication using vancomycin? [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care, 2014
Patient-to-patient transmission enables vancomycin- resistant enterococci (VRE) outbreaks. Outbreak management is expensive and time consuming, and therefore the possibility of VRE eradication is desirable. Since vancomycin is scarcely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, treatment with vancomycin per os may result in very high gastrointestinal ...

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Injectable Bone Cements: A Generational Framework for Bioactivity, Porosity, and Mechanobiological Design at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Key demographic, biological, and material considerations that drive the need for advanced injectable bone cement technologies. Injectable bone cements (IBCs) are widely used in orthopaedic and craniofacial applications due to their minimally invasive delivery and ability to provide early mechanical stabilisation.

Development of antiseptic adaptation and cross-adapatation in selected oral pathogens in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
There is evidence that pathogenic bacteria can adapt to antiseptics upon repeated exposure. More alarming is the concomitant increase in antibiotic resistance that has been described for some pathogens.

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the Tape‐Active Reconstruction System With Semitendinosus Graft: A Primary Load‐Bearing Construct

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a widely performed orthopaedic procedure; however, early graft elongation and loss of tension remain significant biomechanical challenges, particularly with the use of soft tissue autografts. In this technical note, the tape‐active reconstruction system is described as an augmentation technique in ...
