Herein, we analyzed the efficacy of main antibiotic therapy regimens in the treatment of healthcare-associated meningitis (HCAM)....
This retrospective cohort study was conducted in 18 tertiary-care academic hospitals Turkey, India, Egypt and Romania. We extracted data and outcomes of all patients with post-neurosurgical meningitis...
Twenty patients in the cefepime + vancomycin-(CV) group, 31 patients in the ceftazidime + vancomycin-(CFV) group, and 119 patients in the meropenem + vancomycin-(MV) group met the inclusion criteria. ...
Our study showed no significant difference in terms of clinical success and mortality among the three treatment options. All regimens were ineffective against carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Vancomycin...
Staphylococcus argenteus is generally more susceptible to antibiotic treatments than Staphylococcus aureus; however, the study showed that the daptomycin/vancomycin-resistant S. argenteus was isolated...
Eleven S. argenteus isolates were used for passaging under different concentrations of vancomycin. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of vancomycin was determined by the agar dilution assay, a...
The MIC of vancomycin for eight of 11 S. argenteus isolates was increased from ≤2 µg/mL to ≤4-8 µg/mL after vancomycin passages. Two variants with the high-level vancomycin-intermediate (vancomycin MI...
S. argenteus is capable of acquiring a vancomycin-tolerant phenotype and/or converting to a strong biofilm producer after vancomycin passages, which could contribute to the decrease of their antibioti...
Many potent antibiotics fail to treat bacterial infections due to emergence of drug-resistant strains. This surge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) calls in for the development of alternative strategi...
In patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), antimicrobial therapy with oral vancomycin (OV) is increasingly used to prevent progression of the liver disease and control concomitant ulcerati...
Intrawound vancomycin in spine surgery is a common clinical practice. We report a case of a 14-year-old adolescent girl undergoing surgery for scoliosis correction who developed features of vancomycin...
The use of intrawound vancomycin can result in life-threatening reactions. With the increase in its use, the anesthetist and the surgeon must be aware of such complications....
Bacteria develop tolerance after transient exposure to antibiotics, and tolerance is a significant driver of resistance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms underlying tolerance fo...
