Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial Bloodstream Infections in US Hospitals: Analysis of 24,179 Cases from a Prospective Nationwide Surveillance Study
Hilmar Wisplinghoff,Tammy Bischoff,Sandra M. Tallent,Harald Seifert,Richard P. Wenzel,Michael B. Edmond +5 more
TL;DR: The proportion of nosocomial BSIs due to antibiotic-resistant organisms is increasing in US hospitals, and in neutropenic patients, infections with Candida species, enterococci, and viridans group streptococci were significantly more common.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial bloodstream infections in pediatric patients in United States hospitals: epidemiology, clinical features and susceptibilities.
Hilmar Wisplinghoff,Harald Seifert,Sandra M. Tallent,Tammy Bischoff,Richard P. Wenzel,Michael B. Edmond +5 more
TL;DR: Gram-positive pathogens predominated across all ages, and increasing antimicrobial resistance was observed in pediatric patients, and Nosocomial BSI occurred predominantly in very young and/or critically ill children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moonlighting bacteriophage proteins derepress staphylococcal pathogenicity islands
María Ángeles Tormo-Más,Ignacio Mir,Archana Shrestha,Sandra M. Tallent,Susana Campoy,Iñigo Lasa,Jordi Barbé,Richard P. Novick,Gail E. Christie,José R. Penadés +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SaPI derepression is effected by a specific, non-essential phage protein that binds to Stl, disrupting the Stl–DNA complex and thereby initiating the excision-replication-packaging cycle of the island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient isolation and identification of Bacillus cereus group.
TL;DR: This study evaluated the use of Bacara, a new chromogenic agar, as an efficient method to identify and enumerate B. cereus group from food matrixes, even in the presence of background flora.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete genomes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages 80 and 80α– implications for the specificity of SaPI mobilization
Gail E. Christie,Avery Matthews,D.G. King,Kristin D. Lane,Nicholas Paul Olivarez,Sandra M. Tallent,Steven R. Gill,Richard P. Novick +7 more
TL;DR: The genomes of phages 80 and 80α were sequenced, compared with other staphylococcal phage genomes, and analyzed for unique features that may be involved in SaPI mobilization.
