TLDR
Nafcillin was superior to vancomycin in preventing bacteriologic failure (persistent bacteremia or relapse) for methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) baiteremia following antistaphylococcal therapy, and most were relapses.About:

Evaluation of methods commonly used in laboratories to determine the susceptibility to oxacillin among Staphylococcus sp samples isolated from a hospital in Vitória, State of Espírito Santo
Thais Dias Lemos Kaiser,Flavia Casseli Pacheco,Alessandra Avelino de Lima,Eliezer M. Pereira,Kátia Regina Netto dos Santos,Ana Paula Ferreira Nunes +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of the accuracy of the phenotypic methods used to determine the profile of antimicrobial resistance is essential to ensure that the most appropriate therapy is chosen and use of two methods should be the best option for improved accuracy.

Factors associated with post-operative conversion to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus positivity or infection in initially MRSA-negative patients.
TL;DR: In pre-operatively MRSA-negative patients, age, SSI risk index, and vancomycin prophylaxis were significant factors for conversion to MRSA positivity post-operative.

Comprehensive Pathogen Identification, Antibiotic Resistance, and Virulence Genes Prediction Directly From Simulated Blood Samples and Positive Blood Cultures by Nanopore Metagenomic Sequencing
Menglan Zhou,Yarong Wu,Timothy Kudinha,Peiyao Jia,Peiyao Jia,Lei Wang,Yingchun Xu,Qiwen Yang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the MinION nanopore sequencing was used to accelerate diagnosis, resistance, and virulence profiling prediction in simulated blood samples and blood cultures, which showed promising use in point-of-care clinical settings.

Community-acquired meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 resists staphylococcal protein A modulation by antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides.
E. Cardot Martin,A. Michel,B. Raynal,Cédric Badiou,Frédéric Laurent,François Vandenesch,Jerome Etienne,Gerard Lina,Oana Dumitrescu +8 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, antibiotics and AMPs do not modulate SpA expression in USA300, unlike in other CA-MRSA clones, which suggests that the virulence and successful spread of USA300 strains is associated with a specific regulatory network.

CDC definitions for nosocomial infections, 1988
TL;DR: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) developed a new set of definitions for surveillance of nosocomial infections as mentioned in this paper, which combine specific clinical findings with results of laboratory and other tests that include recent advances in diagnostic technology.

The APACHE III prognostic system. Risk prediction of hospital mortality for critically ill hospitalized adults.
William A. Knaus,Douglas P. Wagner,Elizabeth A. Draper,Jack E. Zimmerman,Marilyn Bergner,Paulo G. Bastos,Carl A. Sirio,Donaldj Murphy,Ted Lotring,Anne M. Damiano +9 more
TL;DR: The overall predictive accuracy of the first-day APACHE III equation was such that, within 24 h ofICU admission, 95 percent of ICU admissions could be given a risk estimate for hospital death that was within 3 percent of that actually observed.

New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis : Utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service
TL;DR: Application of the proposed new criteria increases the number of definite diagnoses and should be useful for more accurate diagnosis and classification of patients with suspected endocarditis and provide better entry criteria for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
