introduction: one of the most important agents in hospital-acquired infections is staphylococcus aureus. treatment of methicillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa) infections with decreased susceptibility to vancomycin has recently been more difficult. the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible presence of vancomycin intermediate s. aureus (visa) and vancomycin- resistant s. aureus (vrsa) and ...

OBJECTIVES Treatment of chronic or recurrent Staphylococcus aureus infections may require using antibiotics with activity against intracellular multiresistant organisms. Quinupristin/dalfopristin (3:7) has been examined in this context. METHODS Quinupristin and dalfopristin were used separately or mixed. Strains used were: (i) methicillin-susceptible and -resistant S. aureus (MSSA and MRSA); ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has a major public health concern. It can be identified throughout the chain of production for poultry, which raises questions regarding potential transmission from farm to consumer. MRSA zoonotic significance and transmitted humans poultry. Several studies have been carried out on but this study was conducted find whole scenario at level. A to...

We studied the features of acute enteral failure in patients with peritonitis setting COVID-19 by studying properties pathobiome, biochemical, functional, pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic markers diffuse peritonitis. A retrospective randomized cohort controlled study was conducted; it included 84 divided into two groups. Stratified randomization used. The species composition luminal pathobio...

  Abscess formation following intramuscular injections is rare and they are most commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. In this case series we present a cohort of three patients presented to us in a critically ill condition with an abscess due to intramuscular injection. Vancomycin resistant staphylococcus aureus was isolated from all three patients. These patients posed a major challe...

Background The increasing presence of both methicillin-resistant isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and lately vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), requires pursuit of new antibiotics. This is achieved in several ways: by modification of existing antibiotics, by synthesis of new antibiotics or by empirical screening of, so far, unexamined compounds. Consumption of fresh or ...

We investigated the prevalence and the molecular characteristics of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from clinical samples at tertiary or general hospitals participating in a nationwide surveillance program for VISA and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) in Korea during an 8-week period ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causing nosocomial infection posed a serious therapeutic challenge. We report the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility pattern and MIC value of vancomycin of MRSA isolates from Doon valley hospitals, Uttarakhand. Clinical specimens were collected from different hospitals were subjected to MRSA screening using conventional microbiological metho...
