Clinical implications of vancomycin heteroresistant and intermediately susceptible Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has proven to be a major pathogen with the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections and recently with heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) infections. Although vancomycin is traditionally a first-line and relatively effective antibiotic, its continued use is under question b...
متن کاملinvestigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances
در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
Novel screening agar for detection of vancomycin-nonsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus.
In January 2006, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) updated breakpoints for vancomycin susceptibility testing for Staphylococcus aureus such that an MIC greater than 2 mg/liter was considered to represent nonsusceptibility to vancomycin. Previously, an MIC of 4 mg/liter had been considered to represent susceptibility. Additionally, in 2009, the CLSI altered the guidelines fo...
متن کاملComparison of Biofilm Formation between Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the biofilm formation and the prevalence of biofilm-associated genes between the isolates of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: In total, 209 S. aureus isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using nine antibiotics according to the guidelines of Clinica...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
