Journal ArticleDOI
In Vitro Activities of Daptomycin, Vancomycin, Linezolid, and Quinupristin-Dalfopristin against Staphylococci and Enterococci, Including Vancomycin- Intermediate and -Resistant Strains
TL;DR: Overall, daptomycin was more active against all organisms tested, except Enterococcus faecium and VISA, against which its activity was similar to that of quinupristin-dalfopristin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Fluoroquinolone Use and Changes in Susceptibility to Fluoroquinolones of Selected Pathogens in 10 United States Teaching Hospitals, 1991–2000

Donnelly,Andrew J. Donnelly,Stephen F. Eckel,Robert H.K. Eng,Alexandra Hiltz,Arpi G. Kuyumjian,William Krebs,Angee McDaniel,Patricia A. Hogan,Teresa J. Lubowski +19 more
TL;DR: The analysis of baseline-to-end point change in the percentage of susceptibility and the slope of the regression line (trend line) for logit percentage of susceptible showed that the overall percentage of vulnerability to fluoroquinolones decreased significantly during the study period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in enterococci of animal origin
Ellie Hershberger,Simona F. Oprea,Susan M. Donabedian,Mary Beth Perri,Pamela Bozigar,Paul C. Bartlett,Marcus J. Zervos +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows the presence of a significant reservoir of antibiotic-resistant enterococci among farm animals and resistance was more common on farms using antimicrobial agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and clinical epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis
Simona F. Oprea,Najam Zaidi,Susan M. Donabedian,Mamtha Balasubramaniam,Ellie Hershberger,Marcus J. Zervos +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest gene dissemination among some isolates and intra-hospital spread of other isolates suggest that VR E. faecalis is a nosocomial pathogen and should be considered in infection control practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a Rabbit Model of Bacterial Endocarditis and an In Vitro Infection Model with Simulated Endocardial Vegetations
Ellie Hershberger,Elizabeth A. Coyle,Glenn W. Kaatz,Marcus J. Zervos,Marcus J. Zervos,Michael J. Rybak,Michael J. Rybak +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that reductions in SEV bacterial density obtained in the in vitro model were similar to those obtained in rabbit vegetations, indicating that the SEV model may be a valuable tool for assessing antibiotic potential in the treatment of bacterial endocarditis.
