Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical relevance of the ESKAPE pathogens.
TL;DR: This review aims to consolidate clinically relevant background information on the ESKAPE pathogens and provide a contemporary summary of bacterial resistance, alongside pertinent microbiological considerations necessary to face the mounting threat of antimicrobial resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Prosthetic Hip Infection at Revision Arthroplasty by Immunofluorescence Microscopy and PCR Amplification of the Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene
Michael M. Tunney,Sheila Patrick,Martin D. Curran,Gordon Ramage,Donna Hanna,J.R. Nixon,Sean P. Gorman,Richard I. Davis,Neil W. Anderson +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the incidence of prosthetic joint infection is grossly underestimated by current culture detection methods and it is therefore imperative that current clinical practice with regard to the detection and subsequent treatment of prosthetics joint infection be reassessed in the light of these results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of endotracheal tube biofilm for ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Colin G. Adair,Sean P. Gorman,B M Feron,L. M. Byers,David S. Jones,C. E. Goldsmith,John E. Moore,J. R. Kerr,M D Curran,G Hogg,C H Webb,G.J. McCarthy,K. R. Milligan +12 more
TL;DR: Susceptibility data for these pairs show that the ET acts as a reservoir for infecting microorganisms which exhibit significantly greater antibiotic resistance than their tracheal counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved detection of infection in hip replacements. A currently underestimated problem.
Michael M. Tunney,Sheila Patrick,Sean P. Gorman,J.R. Nixon,Neil Anderson,Richard I. Davis,Donna Hanna,Gordon Ramage +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the same bacterial species were cultured by routine microbiological techniques from only five corresponding tissue samples and inflammatory cells were present in 87% of the samples taken from patients whose implants were culture-negative.
