Journal ArticleDOI
Interpreting chromosomal DNA restriction patterns produced by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis: criteria for bacterial strain typing.
Fred C. Tenover,Robert D. Arbeit,Richard V. Goering,P. A. Mickelsen,Barbara E Murray,D. H. Persing,B. Swaminathan +6 more
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
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical strain with reduced vancomycin susceptibility.
TL;DR: Therapy was resumed with the com -bination of arbekacin and ampicillin/sulbactam which has been shown to have synergic activity against MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria
TL;DR: 3 case histories-one involving Escherichia coli resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, another focusing on the emergence of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and a third detailing multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa--are reviewed to illustrate the varied ways in which resistant bacteria develop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Carbapenem-Hydrolyzing β-Lactamase, KPC-1, from a Carbapenem-Resistant Strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Hesna Yigit,Anne Marie Queenan,Gregory J. Anderson,Antonio Doménech-Sánchez,James W. Biddle,Christine D. Steward,Sebastián Albertí,Karen Bush,Fred C. Tenover +8 more
TL;DR: K. pneumoniae strain 1534 is mainly due to production of a novel Bush group 2f, class A, carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase, KPC-1, although alterations in porin expression may also play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Typing of Oxacillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from the United States: Establishing a National Database
Linda K. McDougal,Christine D. Steward,George Killgore,Jasmine Chaitram,Sigrid K. McAllister,Fred C. Tenover +5 more
TL;DR: Using SmaI-digested genomic DNA separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to characterize S. aureus isolates and establish a database of PFGE patterns suggests that there are a limited number of ORSA genotypes present in the United States.
