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 ...
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 ...
Use vancomycin only for a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection to prevent the development of drug resistant bacteria Oral vancomycin is not effective for systemic infections; use only to treat pseudomembranous colitis due to C. difficile and enterocolitis due to S. aureus Systemic infections...
PX-UV, pulsed xenon ultraviolet; CFU, colony-forming units; VRE, vancomycin-resistant enterococci. This study demonstrated the VRE contamination of surfaces in patient rooms that have been occupied by patients colonized with VRE. The toilet seat, top of the toilet bowl, and top of the toilet ...
