Journal ArticleDOI
A Placebo-Controlled Trial of Antibiotics for Smaller Skin Abscesses.
Robert S. Daum,Loren G. Miller,Lilly Cheng Immergluck,Stephanie A. Fritz,C. Buddy Creech,David M. Young,Neha Kumar,Michele Downing,Stephanie Pettibone,Rebecca Hoagland,Samantha J. Eells,Mary G. Boyle,Trisha Chan Parker,Henry F. Chambers +13 more
TL;DR: Clindamycin or TMP‐SMX in conjunction with incision and drainage improves short‐term outcomes in patients who have a simple abscess, and this benefit must be weighed against the known side‐effect profile of these antimicrobials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of measures to eradicate Staphylococcus aureus carriage in patients with community-associated skin and soft-tissue infections: a randomized trial.
Stephanie A. Fritz,Bernard C. Camins,Kimberly A. Eisenstein,Joseph M. Fritz,Emma K. Epplin,Carey-Ann D. Burnham,Jonathan Dukes,Gregory A. Storch +7 more
TL;DR: An inexpensive regimen of dilute bleach baths, intranasal mupirocin, and hygiene education effectively eradicated S. aureus over a 4-month period, suggesting factors other than endogenous colonization are important determinants of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Household Versus Individual Approaches to Eradication of Community-Associated Staphylococcus aureus in Children: A Randomized Trial
Stephanie A. Fritz,Patrick G. Hogan,Genevieve Hayek,Kimberly A. Eisenstein,Marcela Rodriguez,Emma K. Epplin,Jane Garbutt,Victoria J. Fraser +7 more
TL;DR: House Decolonization was not more effective than individual decolonization in eradicating community-associated S. aureus carriage from cases, however, household decolonized reduced the incidence of subsequent SSTI in cases and their household contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mupirocin and Chlorhexidine Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus in Patients with Community-Onset Skin and Soft Tissue Infections
Stephanie A. Fritz,Patrick G. Hogan,Bernard C. Camins,Ali J. Ainsworth,Carol Patrick,Madeline S. Martin,Melissa J. Krauss,Marcela Rodriguez,Carey-Ann D. Burnham +8 more
TL;DR: The overall prevalence of m upirocin and chlorhexidine resistance is low in S. aureus isolates recovered from outpatients, but eradication efforts were less successful in patients carrying a mupirocin-resistant S.Aureus strain at baseline.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Serologic Correlate of Protective Immunity Against Community-Onset Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Stephanie A. Fritz,Kristin M. Tiemann,Patrick G. Hogan,Emma K. Epplin,Marcela Rodriguez,Duha Al-Zubeidi,Juliane Bubeck Wardenburg,David A. Hunstad +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first link between protection from disease recurrence and the humoral response to Hla, a virulence factor already implicated in disease pathogenesis and can be utilized to refine ongoing vaccine and immunotherapy efforts and inform the design of clinical trials.
