The impact of a vancomycin intervention on vancomycin‐associated nephrotoxicity in children: a quality improvement initiative

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 295-305, August 2026.
Abstract Background Vancomycin is first‐line treatment for methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. However, despite guideline recommendations, there is no evidence that targeting vancomycin trough concentrations of ≥15 mg/L in children confers clinical benefit and is associated with vancomycin‐associated nephrotoxicity (VAN ...

The Use of a Multimodal Case Study To Illustrate Microbial Genetics, Metabolism, and Evolution: The Emergence of VRSA-1

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Antibiotic Resistance (ABR) is a global concern and while many students are aware of this issue, many of them are unclear on the mechanisms by which ABR may emerge. The mechanism of horizontal gene transfer is something many students are not familiar with.
