Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections: A review of case updating and clinical features

Journal of Advanced Research, 2020
The infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global threat to public health. Vancomycin remains one of the first-line drugs for the treatment of MRSA infections. However, S.

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.

High-level aminoglycoside resistance and reduced susceptibility to vancomycin in nosocomial enterococci

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2010
Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to identify the species of enterococci isolated from nosocomial infections and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern with reference to high-level aminoglycosides and vancomycin.

Epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus Non-Susceptible to Vancomycin in South Asia

Antibiotics, 2023
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens among which multidrug resistance has emerged.

Canagliflozin Alleviates Diabetic Glomerular Endothelial Injury via Melibiose in a Microbiota‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canagliflozin treatment reshapes the gut microbiota in DKD and elevates levels of melibiose, a metabolite derived from Roseburia intestinalis. Melibiose directly binds to and enhances the enzymatic activity of glyoxalase 1, leading to decreased methylglyoxal accumulation.

UPDATE ON VANCOMYCIN RESISTANCE

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2000
SUMMARYEnterococci can be responsible for severe infections such as endocarditis, meningitis and septicaemia and are one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections. Resistance in enterococci concerns many classes of antibiotics including, since 1986, glycopeptides.

Biofilm‐Binding Phages Enhance Biofilm Eradication by Synergistic Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered phage‐based trifunctional nanofibers are developed for synergistic biofilm eradication. Biofilm‐binding phages, armed with AuNPs and TCPP, serve as both warheads and scaffolds, endowing the phototherapy agents with biofilm‐anchoring ability. Upon light irradiation, AuNPs induce photothermal therapy, while TCPP generates 1O2 for photodynamic ...

Investigation of the Prevalence of vanA and vanB genes in vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) by Taq Man real time PCR Assay [PDF]

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
Objective: Enterococci are important nosocomial agents and due to their potential antimicrobial resistance they have a significant role in the dissemination of resistance genes. Currently, these species are described as healthcare concern.

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 ...

Glycopeptide Resistance in Gram-Positive Cocci: A Review

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2012
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens in the past two decades all over the world and have seriously limited the choices available to clinicians for treating infections caused by these agents.
