Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical significance of untreated candida species isolated from ascites in cirrhotic patients

TL;DR: The study suggests that the use of a medical regimen including IVIG in patients with severe GAS soft tissue infections may allow an initial non-operative or minimally invasive approach, which can limit the need to perform immediate wide debridements and amputations in unstable patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

FOCUS 2: a randomized, double-blinded, multicentre, Phase III trial of the efficacy and safety of ceftaroline fosamil versus ceftriaxone in community-acquired pneumonia

Donald E. Low, +125 more
TL;DR: Ceftaroline fosamil was well tolerated, with a safety profile that is similar to that of ceftriaxone and other cephalosporins, and is a promising agent for the treatment of CAP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Hospitalization for Clostridium Difficile—Associated Disease: A Population-Based Study

TL;DR: Among community-dwelling older patients, PPI use is not a risk factor for hospitalization with CDAD, and there is no association between hospitalization for CDAD and more remote use of PPIs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viable Group A Streptococci in Macrophages during Acute Soft Tissue Infection

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate that GAS survive intracellularly in macrophages during acute invasive infections, and the finding that high bacterial load is present even in tissue collected after prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy is highlighted.
