Journal ArticleDOI
Infective Endocarditis: An Analysis Based on Strict Case Definitions
TL;DR: Patients in this study had an advanced mean age, high incidence of underlying valvular disease, short mean duration of symptoms, and 15% mortality, the lowest reported for a large series.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Safety and Efficacy of Daptomycin for the Treatment of Complicated Skin and Skin-Structure Infections
Robert D. Arbeit,Dennis G. Maki,Francis P. Tally,Edward Campanaro,Barry I. Eisenstein,Investigators +5 more
TL;DR: The safety and efficacy of daptomycin were comparable with conventional therapy, and the frequency and distribution of adverse events were similar among both treatment groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of traditional and molecular methods of typing isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.
Fred C. Tenover,Robert D. Arbeit,G Archer,James W. Biddle,S Byrne,Richard V. Goering,G A Hancock,G A Hébert,B C Hill,R Hollis +9 more
TL;DR: Phage typing, plasmid DNA restriction analysis, and antibiogram analysis, the techniques most readily available to clinical laboratories, identified 23 to 26 of 29 outbreak-related isolates and assigned 0 to 6 unrelated isolates to outbreak strain types.
