Murphy,W E Maher,Mallory D. Witt,Richard C. Reichman,Sally Snyder,Karin L. Klingman,Daniel R. Kuritzkes +16 more
TL;DR: In this trial of the initial treatment of HIV-1 infection, the triple-nucleoside combination of abacavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine was virologically inferior to a regimen containing efavirenz and two or three nucleosides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hackman,Susan Hadley,Mark Herbert,Susan L. Koletar,W E Maher,Janet A. Minor,Beth A. Oglevee,Michael F. Para,James Russell Parsons,Terri Rogers,Gloria Scott-Tibbs,Cathy S. Tumbleson +22 more
TL;DR: Increased use of pneumococcal vaccine and recognition of antimicrobial resistance patterns may assist physicians in treating patients withS pneumoniaebacteremia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subtypes of legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 associated with different attack rates
TL;DR: The marked differences in the attack rates suggest that the UH subtypes may be more pathogenic than the RH subtype and that the subtyping of L pneumophila might be a useful tool for studying the epidemiology of legionnaires' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised interpretation of oxacillin MICs for Staphylococcus epidermidis based on mecA detection.
TL;DR: Current National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards MIC interpretive criteria may underestimate methicillin resistance among S. epidermidis strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmid profiles of clinical and environmental isolates of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1.
TL;DR: Clinical and environmental Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates from a single water source in Columbus, Ohio, exhibited five different plasmid profiles, suggesting that plasmod analyses will be useful in the study of the epidemiology of Legionnaires disease and the environmental distribution of legionellae.
