Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm formation by clinical isolates and the implications in chronic infections
Carlos J. Sanchez,Katrin Mende,Katrin Mende,Miriam L. Beckius,Kevin S. Akers,Kevin S. Akers,Desiree R Romano,Joseph C. Wenke,Clinton K. Murray +8 more
TL;DR: In patients with relapsing infections, the majority of serial isolates recovered from these individuals were observed to be strong biofilm producers in vitro, and strains from patients with persistent infections are positive for biofilm formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection-associated clinical outcomes in hospitalized medical evacuees after traumatic injury: trauma infectious disease outcome study.
David R. Tribble,Nicholas G. Conger,Susan Fraser,Todd Gleeson,Ken Wilkins,Tanya Antonille,Amy C. Weintrob,Amy C. Weintrob,Anuradha Ganesan,Lakisha J. Gaskins,Ping Li,Greg Grandits,Greg Grandits,Michael L. Landrum,Michael L. Landrum,Duane R. Hospenthal,Eugene V. Millar,Lorne H. Blackbourne,James R. Dunne,David Craft,Katrin Mende,Katrin Mende,Glenn Wortmann,Rachel K. Herlihy,Jay R. McDonald,Clinton K. Murray +25 more
TL;DR: The initial data and current status of an ongoing 5-year prospective observational cohort study of infectious complications associated with traumatic injury sustained during deployment, the DoD-Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study (TIDOS) are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms and persistent wound infections in United States military trauma patients: a case-control analysis.
Kevin S. Akers,Katrin Mende,Kristelle A Cheatle,Wendy C. Zera,Xin Yu,Miriam L. Beckius,Deepak Aggarwal,Ping Li,Carlos J. Sanchez,Joseph C. Wenke,Amy C. Weintrob,Amy C. Weintrob,David R. Tribble,Clinton K. Murray +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that biofilm production by clinical strains is significantly associated with the persistence of wound infections, and the statistical power of the analysis was limited due to the small sample size, precluding a multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aminoglycoside Resistance and Susceptibility Testing Errors in Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus Complex
Kevin S. Akers,Christopher Chaney,Alice E Barsoumian,Miriam L. Beckius,Wendy C. Zera,Wendy C. Zera,Xin Yu,Charles H. Guymon,Edward F. Keen,Brian J. Robinson,Katrin Mende,Katrin Mende,Clinton K. Murray +12 more
TL;DR: Studying the susceptibilities of 107 isolates of the Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex to amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin found the presence of the ant(2")-Ia gene was statistically associated with resistance to each aminoglycoside.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity of topical antimicrobial agents against multidrug-resistant bacteria recovered from burn patients
Jessie S. Glasser,Charles H. Guymon,Katrin Mende,Steven E. Wolf,Steven E. Wolf,Steven E. Wolf,Duane R. Hospenthal,Duane R. Hospenthal,Duane R. Hospenthal,Clinton K. Murray,Clinton K. Murray,Clinton K. Murray +11 more
TL;DR: Despite several methods to test bacteria for topical susceptibility, no defined breakpoints exist and standards need to be established, which means continuing to use silver products for prophylaxis against gram-negatives and mafenide acetate for treatment, and mupirocin for MRSA.
