Jaffe, H W, Sweeney, H M, Weinstein, R A, Kabins, S A, Nathan, C, Cohen, S
We previously described a neonatal nursery epidemic of infections caused by a single strain of Staphylococcus aureus bearing a gentamicin resistance plasmid (Vogel et al., Antimicrob. Agents...
Rasmussen, B A, Bradford, P A, Quinn, J P, Wiener, J, Weinstein, R A, Bush, K
Ceftazidime-resistant isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae produced a plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase with a pI of 5.6 with biochemical characteristics comparable to those of the...
Levin, M H, Weinstein, R A, Nathan, C, Selander, R K, Ochman, H, Kabins, S A
From July 1979 to June 1983, 25 of 40 intravenous drug addicts with systemic infections had Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the etiological agent; by 1982, P. aeruginosa had replaced Staphylococcus aureus...
Hospital outbreaks caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: importance of serogroup O11.
Farmer, J J, Weinstein, R A, Zierdt, C H, Brokopp, C D
Suspected outbreaks caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa in 19 hospitals and two motels were studied. On the basis of epidemiological analysis, serological typing, and antibiotic resistance patterns, 17...
Pseudomonas in the sinks in an intensive care unit: relation to patients.
Levin, M H, Olson, B, Nathan, C, Kabins, S A, Weinstein, R A
Sink drains in a medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) were cultured during six consecutive weeks as part of a seven month prospective study of acquisition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by ICU...
Development of Daptomycin Resistance In Vivo in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Hayden, M. K., Rezai, K., Hayes, R. A., Lolans, K., Quinn, J. P., Weinstein, R. A.
Daptomycin is a new lipopeptide antibiotic that is rapidly bactericidal against Staphylococcus aureus. We report daptomycin resistance and treatment failure in 2 patients with osteomyelitis due to...
Diphtheria in the United States, 1971-81.
Chen, R T, Broome, C V, Weinstein, R A, Weaver, R, Tsai, T F
After a decade-long resurgence, including a large cutaneous diphtheria outbreak in Washington State, the diphtheria incidence rate in the United States reached its lowest recorded level ever in...

Controlling antimicrobial resistance in hospitals: infection control and use of antibiotics.
Antimicrobial-drug resistance in hospitals is driven by failures of hospital hygiene, selective pressures created by overuse of antibiotics, and mobile genetic elements that can encode bacterial...
Historically, staphylococci, pseudomonads, and Escherichia coli have been the nosocomial infection troika; nosocomial pneumonia, surgical wound infections, and vascular access-related bacteremia have...
