Bragman, S. G. L., Pankhurst, C. L., Casewell, M. W.
The in-vitro activity of sucralfate (sucrose octa-sulphate) in suspension was examined against 128 strains of Gram-negative bacilli. Inhibitory activity was demonstrated against all isolates and...
Rolando, N., Wade, J. J., Fagan, E., Philpott-Howard, J., Casewell, M. W., Williams, Roger
Fifty patients admitted with fulminant hepatic failure and clinically suspected infection were allocated to receive either aztreonam and vancomycin or piperacillin and gentamicin as first line...
Reduction in the colonization of central venous cannulae by mupirocin (1991)
In an in-vitro simulation of an intravascular cannula enclosed in a fibrin sheath, 0.03 mg1(-1) of mupirocin prevented significant colonization [greater than 15 colony forming units (cfu)] by two...
Minimal dose requirements for nasal mupirocin and its role in the control of epidemic MRSA (1991)
Staphylococci are still a leading cause of hospital infection. The success of nasal mupirocin for the control of epidemic methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA), the prevention of...
Hill, R.L., Fisher, A. P., Ware, R. J., Wilson, S., Casewell, M. W.
In a prospective study, 218 cardiothoracic patients, in whom 'Abbocath-T' cannulae had been inserted preoperatively into the internal jugular vein, were randomized to receive skin preparation of the...
Bragman, S. G. L., Casewell, M. W.
The in-vitro activity of ceftibuten was compared with cefuroxime and cefadroxil against 475 clinically-significant, epidemiologically-distinct isolates of Gram-negative bacilli: 170 from blood, 212...
Hill, R. L. R., Duckworth, G. J., Casewell, M. W.
During a hospital outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), involving more than 200 patients, 40 patients and 32 hospital staff who were stable nasal carriers of MRSA received...
The in-vitro activity of cefadroxil, and the interpretation of disc-susceptibility testing (1987)
Casewell, M. W., Bragman, S. G. L.
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of cefadroxil were determined for 749 defined clinically-significant bacteria isolated in a London teaching hospital and for 63 strains from an international...
Casewell, M. W., Hill, R. L. R.
In a blind controlled trial 2% mupirocin ointment was applied four times a day for five days to the anterior nares of 32 healthy volunteers who were followed-up for at least five weeks....
Casewell, M. W., Hill, R. L. R.
The in-vitro activity of mupirocin (‘pseudomonic acid’) was determined against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus with various antibiotic resistance patterns including resistance to...
Cephalexin for the oral treatment of CAPD peritonitis (1984)
Drew, P. J. T., Casewell, M. W., Desai, N., Houang, E. T., Simpson, C. N., Marsh, F. P.
Sixteen episodes of peritonitis in 13 patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were treated with oral cephalexin given at each 6-hourly dialysate exchange. Serial...
Casewell, M. W., Talsania, H. G., Knight, S.
Of 108 epidemiologically-distinct strains of gentamicin-resistant Klebsiella aerogenes collected from 12 hospitals in six countries, 86 (80%) transferred multiple antibiotic resistance to...
Titres and cross reactions of commercial antisera for the capsular typing of Klebsiella species.
Ninety commercially supplied sera for the capsular typing of Klebsiella species were tested in a full chequerboard against 72 type strains. Only four of 144 homologous reactions could not be...
Colonial variation in vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium.
Baillie, L W, Wade, J J, Casewell, M W
Vancomycin resistant enterococci are increasingly being isolated from inpatients. This report describes the colonial variation present in most isolates of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium...
