Gram Stain Can Be Used to Safely Discontinue Vancomycin Therapy for Early Pneumonia in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit.The article discusses a study which hypothesized that the Gram stain from an obtained pulmonary culture could detect the presence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA...
leading to improper ion homoeostasis and the overproduction of thick mucus which impairs mucociliary clearance [25]. As a result, people with CF show reduced mucosal immunity and are highly prone to chronic bacterial lung infections [26]. While bacterial...

Vancomycin - is an effective antibiotic that kills many types of bacteria, especially those that are not destroyed by other antibiotics. Other antibiotic drugs can also be used for the treatment of bacterial meningitis. They include gentamicin, meropenem, and tobramycin, which is an aminoglycoside an...
Specifically, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) behaves like vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) upon exposure to colistin, which is currently used against infections by Gram-negative bacteria. Is amikacin single use? Use: Amikacin injection is used to treat susceptible gram-negativ...
Already, several common bacteria have been identified that are resistant to every antibiotic but one–vancomycin. As this article was being prepared, the New England Journal of Medicine published the most recent incidence of this frightening trend, an outbreak of multidrug-resistant pneumococcal ...
