The following is a summary of “Early cytokine signatures and clinical phenotypes discriminate persistent from resolving MRSA ...

MRSA was once eradicated reliably by vancomycin (Vancocin AE), an antibiotic of the glycopeptide class. With time, the MRSA bacteria became resistant to vancomycin and vancomycin-resistant ...

While the prevalence of VISA and VRSA remains low, concerns about vancomycin resistance and the lack of a clinical or bacteriological response with as many as 18% of MRSA isolates with a ...

To make MRSA matters even worse, in 2002, health care workers reported the first cases of vancomycin-resistant MRSA. In other words, even "last-resort" vancomycin doesn't always work. Therein lies ...

Patients colonized with AMR pathogens showed high risk for infection with the same pathogen for up to 2 years, indicating a time window for decolonization interventions.
