Susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to lysostaphin.
One hundred and eleven isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus recovered from patients at the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center from March 1983 to April 1987 were as susceptible to lysis by lysostaphin as methicillin-susceptible S. aureus controls were.
متن کاملPhenotypic Changes of Oxacillin Resistance in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains by Successive Passaging
Background and purpose: Rotational use of antibiotics can decrease antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The present study aimed to evaluate the alteration of oxacillin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain carrying SCCmec III cassette in long-term evolutionary experiments in an antibiotic-free medium. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectio...
متن کاملRecombinant Lysostaphin Protects Mice from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Pneumonia
The advent of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the frequent and excessive abuse of ventilators have made MRSA pneumonia an inordinate threat to human health. Appropriate antibacterial therapies are crucial, including the use of lysostaphin as an alternative to antibiotics. To explore the potential use of lysostaphin as a therapeutic agent for MRSA pneumonia, mice were intr...
متن کاملExperimental Lysostaphin therapy in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus induced keratitis in Rabbits: A comparative evaluation
Objective: A comparative evaluation of topical lysostaphin therapy with vancomycin and azithromycin in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) keratitis in a rabbit model. Methods: This study was conducted on 18 eyes of 18 rabbits. All rabbits were divided into 3 groups with 6 rabbits each. Right eyes were experimental eyes. Keratitis was induced by aseptically injecting the corneal ...
متن کاملGenotypic Investigation of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection
Background and purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently emerged as major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The aims of this study were to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from UTI and to detect the presence of mecA (causing resistance to methicillin) and SCCmec types. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 44 S. au...
