Predictors of Mortality in Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
Sebastian Van Hal,Slade O. Jensen,Slade O. Jensen,Vikram L. Vaska,Björn A. Espedido,Björn A. Espedido,David L. Paterson,Iain B Gosbell,Iain B Gosbell +8 more
TL;DR: Although the rate of mortality from SAB is declining, it remains high, and questions remain as to whether this reflects pathogen-specific factors or poorer responses to antibiotic therapy, namely, vancomycin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance in the next 30 years, humankind, bugs and drugs: a visionary approach.
Matteo Bassetti,Garyphallia Poulakou,Etienne Ruppé,Emilio Bouza,Sebastian Van Hal,Adrian Brink,Adrian Brink +6 more
TL;DR: The current standards of care and major recent advances with regard to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are described and a prospective overview for the next 30 years in this field is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Combining an antistaphylococcal β-lactam with vancomycin may shorten the duration of MRSA bacteremia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry Identification of Yeasts Is Contingent on Robust Reference Spectra
Angie N Pinto,Catriona Halliday,Melissa Zahra,Sebastian Van Hal,Tom Olma,Krystyna Maszewska,Jonathan R. Iredell,Wieland Meyer,Wieland Meyer,Sharon C.-A. Chen,Sharon C.-A. Chen +10 more
TL;DR: MALDI-TOF MS enabled rapid, reliable identification of clinically-important yeasts and the addition of spectra to databases and reduction in identification scores required for species-level identification may improve its utility.

TL;DR: An almost 1.7-fold proportional increase in C. glabrata candidaemia (26.7% versus 16% in 2004) in Australia is reported, and antifungal resistance was generally uncommon, but azole resistance amongst C. tropicalis may be emerging.
