Systemic inflammatory response syndrome in adult patients with nosocomial bloodstream infections due to enterococci (2006)

Bar, Katharine, Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Wenzel, Richard P, Bearman, Gonzalo ML, Edmond, Michael B

Abstract Background Enterococci are the third leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection (BSI). Vancomycin resistant enterococci are common and provide treatment challenges; however questions...

Comparative Activities of Ciprofloxacin, Clinafloxacin, Gatifloxacin, Gemifloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, and Trovafloxacin against Epidemiologically Defined Acinetobacter baumannii Strains

Heinemann, Barbara, Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Edmond, Michael, Seifert, Harald

In vitro activities of seven fluoroquinolones against 140 clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates representing 138 different strain types were determined. The rank order of activity was...

Related Clones Containing SCCmec Type IV Predominate among Clinically Significant Staphylococcus epidermidis Isolates

Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Rosato, Adriana E., Enright, Mark C., Noto, Michael, Craig, William, Archer, Gordon L.

SCCmec is a mobile genetic element that carries the gene (mecA) mediating methicillin resistance in staphylococci. For Staphylococcus aureus, four SCCmec types have been described, one (type IV) of...

In Vitro Activities of the β-Lactamase Inhibitors Clavulanic Acid, Sulbactam, and Tazobactam Alone or in Combination with β-Lactams against Epidemiologically Characterized Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains

Higgins, Paul G., Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Stefanik, Danuta, Seifert, Harald

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen usually in the context of serious underlying disease. Multidrug resistance in these organisms is frequent. The β-lactamase inhibitors...

Development of a Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Characterization of Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Bartual, Sergio G., Seifert, Harald, Hippler, Corinna, Luzon, M. Angeles Domínguez, Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Rodríguez-Valera, Francisco

In this study a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Acinetobacter baumannii was developed and evaluated by using 40 clinical A. baumannii isolates recovered from outbreaks in Spanish and...

Molecular Evolution of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the Metropolitan Area of Cologne, Germany, from 1984 to 1998

Wisplinghoff, Hilmar, Ewertz, Birgitta, Wisplinghoff, Susanne, Stefanik, Danuta, Plum, Georg, Perdreau-Remington, Francoise, ...

To investigate the molecular evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a large metropolitan area in Germany, 398 nonrepetitive MRSA isolates recovered from patients from...
