Novel antibiotic regimens against Enterococcus faecium resistant to ampicillin, vancomycin, and gentamicin.

Landman, D, Mobarakai, N K, Quale, J M

Enterococci have emerged as significant nosocomial pathogens. Enterococci with resistance to commonly used antibiotics are appearing more frequently. We encountered at our institution several...

Removal of vancomycin by high-flux hemodialysis membranes.

Quale, J M, O'Halloran, J J, DeVincenzo, N, Barth, R H

Levels of vancomycin in serum are traditionally believed to be unaffected by hemodialysis. By both in vivo and in vitro techniques, the effects of a newer, more permeable dialyzer membrane on...

Comparison of five selective media for identifying fecal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Landman, D, Quale, J M, Oydna, E, Willey, B, Ditore, V, Zaman, M, ...

There is no uniformly accepted method for detecting colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The sensitivities of five culture methods were determined for patients known to harbor...

Bactericidal activities of peptide antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

Mobarakai, N, Quale, J M, Landman, D

Multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium has emerged as a serious pathogen for which no effective therapy has been established. In this report, we describe the activities of two peptide antibiotics,...

Activity of clinafloxacin against multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

Burney, S, Landman, D, Quale, J M

Enterococci resistant to ampicillin, vancomycin, and/or aminoglycosides are a growing clinical problem. We studied the in vitro activity of the new fluoroquinolone clinafloxacin (PD 127,391) against...
