Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in gram-positive bloodstream organism resistance: a seven-year audit of five glycopeptides and other drugs at a large university hospital.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the emergence of invasive vancomycin-resistant strains in Gram-positive isolates remains a rare phenomenon, but there has been an emergence of numerous ciprofloxacin- resistant strains among staphylococci that precludes its empirical use at this institution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective Efficacy of an Inactivated Mycoplasma pneumoniae Vaccine
Richard P. Wenzel,Robert B. Craven,John A. Davies,J. Owen Hendley,Owen Hendley,Bruce H. Hamory,Gwaltney Gwaltney +6 more
TL;DR: The protective efficacy of a formalin-inactivated Mycoplasma pneumoniae vaccine was evaluated in a double-blind fashion in 7,861 Marine Corps recruits at Parris Island, South Carolina and showed no protective efficacy for M. pneumoniae-specific bronchitis or for M.'s pneumoniae pharyngeal carriage in recrutis in training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of nosocomial isolates of Candida species to LY121019 and other antifungal agents
TL;DR: The minimal inhibitory concentrations of LY121019 were less than or equal to that of the other antifungal agents against C. albicans and C. tropicalis but were generally higher for the other species of Candida.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus on the hands of health care workers: a route of transmission or a source?
F. Perdreau-Remington,Danuta Stefanik,Georg Peters,G. Ruckdeschel,F. Haas,Richard P. Wenzel,G. Pulverer +6 more
TL;DR: The widespread dissemination of a single clone suggests transmission of S. haemolyticus on the wards and prompts further prospective studies of hand carriage and environmental contamination of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in a single subspeciality surgical service.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiology of an outbreak of meningococcal disease in a university community.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that outbreaks of meningococcal disease may be due to more than one circulating strain and the utility of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in defining the molecular epidemiology of menedococcal infections is illustrated.
