The first classes approved for use in the US are the streptogramins, specifically quinupristin/dalfopristin (Synercid), and the oxazolidinone linezolid (Zyvox). Other new classes of agents, including the ketolides, everninomycins, and newer glycopeptides, such as LY-333328, are in the ...
Lead researcher Dr Jason Agostino from the ANU Medical School said about 60 per cent of drug-resistant staph infections were picked up in the community, soinfection controlneeded to shift from hospitals to the community. "The problem of infections resistant to antibiotics in our community is not ...
aThe improper use of antibiotics has led to strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.Experts say if efforts to combat the problem are not launched now,infections that were curable could make a dangerous comeback.Dr.Thomas Frieden,director of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and...
UTIs are becoming more difficult to treat as the bacteria that cause them "learn" to survive almost all of the oral antibiotics we currently have.
There are few veterinary clinical studies to support a recommended use and dose for treating resistant bacterial infections in small animals. Resistance against many common antibiotics is possible and a susceptibility test is advised. Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a special problem....
New research is paving the way for the development of innovative drugs that restore antibiotic susceptibility in antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, a main cause of fatal lung and bloodstream infections worldwide.
Resistance to antimicrobial agents is an evolving process, driven by the selective pressure of heavy antibiotic use in individuals living in close proximity to others. The intensive care unit (ICU), crowded with debilitated patients who are receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics and being cared for by...
SAN FRANCISCO — Five standout antibiotics were featured during a pipeline session here at IDWeek 2018. The application process was open to all companies and the agents selected had the most novel data and are likely to have to most impact, said Cesar Arias, MD, PhD, from the University ...
It is estimated that some 70 perent of bacteria that cause infections are resistant to at least one antibiotic used to treat them, largely fueled by their overuse. "What humans have done through excess use of antibiotics on global scale is accelerate the rate of evolution, creating a new wor...
