Introduction Methicillin -Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ), Clostridium difficile (C. Diff) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) are a significant source of HAIs. Recently, significant attention has been given to community acquired strains of these infections. However, HAIs with these ...
skip the missed dose and only take the next dose. Do not take double or extra doses. It is important to complete your prescribed course of oral vancomycin, even if your symptoms get better or go away. This will reduce the risk that future infections are resistant to vancomycin or other ...
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important nosocomial pathogens that commonly affect critically ill patients. VRE have a remarkable genetic plasticity allowing them to acquire genes associated with antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, the treatment of deep-seated infections due to VRE has become ...
Vancomycinis usually injected into a vein. However, this product also comes in vials which may also be given by mouth to treat a severe intestinal condition known asClostridium difficile-associateddiarrhea. This condition can rarely occur after the use of antibiotics has allowed the growth of a c...

Metronidazole is still the first-line antibiotic for the treatment of C. difficile-associated diarrhea because the incidence of metronidazole resistant strains remains very low. However, the efficacy of metronidazole in the treatment of infections attributable to isolates with high-level metronidazole ...
