Larval therapy for a leg ulcer with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Sir, Antibiotic resistance of bacteria is a growing problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a frequent nosocomial pathogen in many countries, with a high incidence in southern Europe, but with a lower incidence in Scandinavia (1). MRSA is most commonly isolated from ulcers and the respiratory tract (1).We report here a case of a leg ulcer carryingMRSA, which was treated w...
متن کاملLarval therapy: a novel treatment in eliminating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from diabetic foot ulcers.
O veruse of antibiotics and the selection of broadrather than narrowspectrum agents have contributed to the high prevalence of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization in diabetic foot wounds. Consequently, MRSA is now an endemic in both the community and hospital environments (1,2). We previously highlighted the problem (3) of MRSA colonization in our diabetic foot clinic...

Three treatment regimens were evaluated, each progressively more aggressive. Our regimen was 750 mg of ciprofloxacin twice daily for 5 days, the second regimen was 750 mg of ciprofloxacin twice daily for 10 to 14 days, and the final regimen was 750 mg of ci...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Nowadays methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common multidrug resistant bacteria both in hospitals and in the community. In the last two decades, there has been growing concern about the increasing resistance to MRSA of the most potent antibiotic glycopeptides. MRSA infection poses a serious problem for physicians and their patients. Photosensitizer-mediated an...
متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Etiology Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive, coagulase positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains are resistant to methicillin and essentially all other beta-lactam antibiotics. MRSA isolates are genetically heterogeneous. 1 Some strains, which are called epidemic strains; are more prevalent and can spread within or between hospitals an...
