TL;DR: Through real-time application of accumulating knowledge, the world proved capable of arresting the first pandemic threat of the twenty-first century, despite early respiratory-borne spread and global susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrolide Resistance in Bacteremic Pneumococcal Disease: Implications for Patient Management
TL;DR: Macrolide resistance contributes to an increased risk of macrolide failure, irrespective of the underlying resistance mechanism or of the degree of elevation in erythromycin MIC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in horses at a veterinary teaching hospital: frequency, characterization, and association with clinical disease.
TL;DR: MRSA screening of horses admitted to a veterinary hospital was useful for identification of community-associated and nosocomial colonization and infection, and for monitoring of infection control practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Getting under the Skin: The Immunopathogenesis of Streptococcus pyogenes Deep Tissue Infections
TL;DR: The use of intravenous immunoglobulin as potential adjunctive therapy in these life-threatening infections is discussed and the host-pathogen interactions in the tissue milieu are reviewed.
