TL;DR: An update on potentially effective antibacterial drugs in the late-stage development pipeline is provided, in the hope of encouraging collaboration between industry, academia, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention work productively together.
Journal Article
Prevention of perinatal group B streptococcal disease. Revised guidelines from CDC.
TL;DR: Although universal screening for GBS colonization is anticipated to result in further reductions in the burden of GBS disease, the need to monitor for potential adverse consequences of intrapartum antibiotic use, such as emergence of bacterial antimicrobial resistance or increased incidence or severity of non-GBS neonatal pathogens, continues.
Guidelines for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections, 2011
TL;DR: O'Grady et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a list of the members of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) and the Infectious Disease Task Force (IDTF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic monitoring of vancomycin in adult patients: a consensus review of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
TL;DR: Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is one of the most widely used antibiotics in the United States for the treatment of serious gram-positive streptococcus aureus infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiherpesvirus drugs: a promising spectrum of new drugs and drug targets
TL;DR: In silico approaches will further increase the ability to predict and model the most relevant pharmacokinetic, metabolic and toxicity endpoints, thereby accelerating the drug discovery process.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel, scalable and scalable approach that allows for real-time assessment of the severity of the infection and its impact on patients’ health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farm animals as a putative reservoir for vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infection in man
TL;DR: The emergence of VRE in hospital patients may reflect selection of these organisms in the hospital environment by antibiotic usage from which nosocomial spread might occur, and suggests that animals may serve as a reservoir of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), which may enter the human food chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
vanA-mediated high-level glycopeptide resistance in Enterococcus faecium from animal husbandry.
TL;DR: Genomic DNA fragment patterns of strains from animal sources were different from each other and also from those of strains isolated in hospitals and from sewage treatment plants, suggesting the dissemination of the vanA determinant among different enterococcal strains of distinct ecological origin.
