چکیده
The efficacy of fosfomycin in combination with vancomycin or gentamicin was evaluated in experimental endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. After 5 days of therapy, both combinations proved to be highly effective since all rabbits had sterile vegetations.

Efficacy of linezolid alone or in combination with vancomycin for treatment of experimental endocarditis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The levels of effectiveness of linezolid, vancomycin, and the combination of linezolid and vancomycin were compared in the rabbit model of endocarditis caused by a clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolate. Vancomycin alone was more effective than either linezolid alone or the combination of linezolid and vancomycin for the treatment of endocarditis due to MRSA.
متن کاملInfective endocarditis caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a previously healthy preschool child.
Community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has been increasingly reported recently and has become an emerging pathogen of infective endocarditis (IE) in adults, but still rarely reported in children. A previously healthy preschool child without any heart anomaly developed IE and pneumonia with pleural effusion. Blood cultures repeatedly yielded MRSA and did not b...
متن کاملAnti-clumping factor A immunoglobulin reduces the duration of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in an experimental model of infective endocarditis.
SA-IGIV is a human polyclonal immunoglobulin containing elevated levels of antibodies specific for the fibrinogen-binding MSCRAMM protein clumping factor A (ClfA). In vitro, SA-IGIV specifically recognized ClfA that was expressed on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus and inhibited bacterial adherence to immobilized human fibrinogen by >95%. Moreover, SA-IGIV efficiently opsonized ClfA-coated ...
متن کاملEfficacy of pefloxacin-fosfomycin in experimental endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The efficacies of pefloxacin, fosfomycin, and both of these agents in combination against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were assessed in a rat endocarditis model. The combination prevented emergence of the fosfomycin and pefloxacin resistance seen in 36 and 4%, respectively, of animals receiving either agent alone and was more effective than either agent in sterilizing cardiac veg...
متن کاملInfective endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a young woman after ear piercing: a case report
INTRODUCTION Ear piercing is a common practice among Korean adolescents and young women and usually is performed by nonmedical personnel, sometimes under suboptimal hygienic conditions. Consequently, ear piercing has been associated with various infectious complications, including fatal infective endocarditis. We report a case of infective endocarditis that was caused by community-associated me...
