Vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Enterococci, a part of normal gut flora, are not particularly pathogenic organisms in humans. For example, they do not cause respiratory tract infections. The most frequent enterococcal infections are urinary tract infections. Despite their lack of pathogenicity, enterococci have emerged as significant nosocomial pathogens in the United States and elsewhere. Enterococci are formidable pathogens...
متن کاملVancomycin-resistant enterococci.
After they were first identified in the mid-1980s, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) spread rapidly and became a major problem in many institutions both in Europe and the United States. Since VRE have intrinsic resistance to most of the commonly used antibiotics and the ability to acquire resistance to most of the current available antibiotics, either by mutation or by receipt of foreign g...
متن کاملEmergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Vancomycin and ampicillin resistance in clinical Enterococcus faecium strains has developed in the past decade. Failure to adhere to strict infection control to prevent the spread of these pathogens has been well established. New data implicate the use of specific classes of antimicrobial agents in the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Extended-spectrum cephalosporins and drugs ...
متن کاملThe effect of vancomycin on the structure of vancomycin-susceptible and -resistant Enterococcus faecium strains.
Williamson et al. previously showed that a strain of Enterococcus faecium with low-level resistance to vancomycin grown in the presence of one-half the MIC of vancomycin showed bizarre cell forms with abnormal septa without apparent cell division (3). In the current work, 10 strains of E. faecium susceptible to vancomycin (MIC, ,2 mg/ml) and 10 resistant strains (MIC, .400 mg/ml) which were als...
متن کاملThe use of linezolid in the treatment of paediatric patients with infections caused by enterococci including strains resistant to vancomycin.
A CT scan performed after 20 days demonstrated resolution of pulmonary lesions. The 6 month follow-up was negative. Candida pneumonia is an extremely rare disease, associated with high mortality rates. A pulmonary infection caused by Candida spp. may exist in two forms: a very rare primary pneumonia due to aspiration of oropharyngeal material; and a relatively more common secondary pneumonia du...
