Herein is described the synthesis of several analogs of the natural product IB-01211 from concatenated azoles, via a biomimetic pathway based on cyclization-oxidation of serine containing peptides combined with the Hantzsch synthesis. The macrocyclization of rigid peptide compounds 1 and 2 to give IB-01211 and its epimer 12b was explored, and the results are compared here to those previously ob...

In a prospective study we assessed 440 patients, sequentially admitted to the trauma unit with hip fracture.

Fifty two percent of MRSA colonised patients were admitted from their own home, 29% from residential homes and 19% from nursing homes. MRSA colonisation was found in 3.6% of patients admitted from...
