BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are increasingly frequent causes of skin and soft-tissue infections or invasive infections in many communities. METHODS Prospective surveillance for community-acquired S. aureus infections at Texas Children's Hospital was initiated on 1 August 2001. Infections meeting the definition of community-acquired were identified. D...

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the rate resistance macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics, mechanisms underlying and evaluate their relationship with virulence genes profiles 435 Bulgarian clinical isolates Staphylococcus aureus . highest observed penicillin (96.09%), followed by erythromycin clindamycin (34.02 22.76%, respectively). Of tested strains S. , 9...

conclusions the rate of imlsb in s. aureus isolates is relatively high in the northwest iran. since isolates with inducible resistance may mutate and change to constitutive resistance, to prevent clinical treatment failure, d-test should be performed along with routine antibiotic susceptibility tests. in this study, ermc gene was the predominant genetic determinant for the expression of mlsb re...

Multidimensional lattice constellations which present signal space diversity (SSD) have been extensively studied for single-antenna transmission over fading channels, with focus on their optimal design for achieving high diversity gain. In this two-part series of papers we present a novel combinatorial geometrical approach based on parallelotope geometry, for the performance evaluation of multi...

Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae has emerged as an important worldwide problem over the past decade. The aim of this study was to investigate macrolide-resistant phenotypes and the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of invasive pneumococci in Serbia. A total of 68 invasive pneumococcal strains, collected from 2009 to 2011, were sent from regional laboratories to the national ...
