Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery, research, and development of new antibiotics: the WHO priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis.

Evelina Tacconelli, +81 more
TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Vancomycin Susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus, Including Vancomycin-Intermediate and Heterogeneous Vancomycin-Intermediate Strains: Resistance Mechanisms, Laboratory Detection, and Clinical Implications

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that sequential point mutations in key global regulatory genes contribute to the hVISA and VISA phenotypes, which are associated predominately with cell wall thickening and restricted vancomycin access to its site of activity in the division septum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Features Associated with Bacteremia Due to Heterogeneous Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: Clinical markers of hVISA bacteremia may help focus diagnostic efforts and treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-susceptible MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core components for effective infection prevention and control programmes: new WHO evidence-based recommendations

TL;DR: Eleven recommendations and three good practice statements form the substance of a new WHO IPC guideline, which is critical for the successful containment of antimicrobial resistance and the prevention of health care-associated infections.
