- This increase poses several problems, including a) the lack of available antimicrobials for therapy of infections caused by VRE, because most VRE are also resistant to multiple other drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides and ampicillin) previously used for the treatment of infections due to these organisms, and b) the possibility that the vancomycin resistance genes present in VRE may be transferred to other gram-positive microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus. (cdc.gov)
- In addition to the existing problem with VRE, the potential emergence of vancomycin resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis is a serious public health concern. (cdc.gov)
- Although vancomycin resistance in clinical strains of S. epidermidis or S. aureus has not been reported, vancomycin-resistant strains of S. haemolyticus have been isolated[21,22]. (cdc.gov)
- This is vital for patient care, as advocated by Jarvis in stressing the importance of active detection and isolation to control methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other resistant hospital-acquired pathogens ( 17 ). (asm.org)
- Since it is resistant to penicillinase enzymes, such as that produced by Staphylococcus aureus , it is widely used clinically in the US to treat penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . (mdwiki.org)
- However, with the introduction and widespread use of both oxacillin and methicillin, antibiotic-resistant strains called methicillin-resistant and oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA/ORSA) have become increasingly prevalent worldwide. (mdwiki.org)
- Members of the isoxazolyl penicillin family, which includes cloxacillin , dicloxacillin , and oxacillin, were synthesized to counter the increasing prevalence of infections caused by penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . (mdwiki.org)
- Testing the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method - antibiotics diffuse from antibiotic-containing disks and inhibit growth of S. aureus , resulting in a zone of inhibition. (mdwiki.org)
- Cefamandole under brand name mandol is indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms such as: lower respiratory infections, including pneumonia, caused by S. pneumoniae. (ncats.io)
- Cefamandole (also known as cephamandole) is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. (ncats.io)
- Avoid coadministration of cholera vaccine with systemic antibiotics since these agents may be active against the vaccine strain. (medscape.com)
- Similar concentrations inhibited methicillin-susceptible and -resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus, and S. saprophyticus). (docksci.com)
- The principal bacteria responsible for neonatal meningitis are gram-negative bacilli (usually E. coli strains bearing the K1 capsular antigen) and group B streptococci. (antiinfectivemeds.com)
