During the study, 63% of elective colorectal surgery patients received 3 g cefazolin instead of a 2 g dose. The increased dose was not associated with decreased SSIs in the study population.

Purpose. The feasibility of using a limitedsampling algorithm for administration of vancomycin for treatment of vascular-access-related bacteremia in outpatient high flux hemodialysis was ...

It can also thrive in moist places indoors. Some types of this germ, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), can infect you and make you really sick. If you're in good health ...

Objective: To systematically evaluate the literature to determine whether vancomycin-induced neutropenia is dose- or duration-related and provide clinicians with feasible treatment alternatives.

Even following transplantation, recurrence of PSC is seen in approximately one quarter of patients and leads to high rates of graft failure. Oral vancomycin, through possible immunomodulatory and anti ...

METHODS In consecutive patients with suspected postoperative endophthalmitis a vitreous biopsy for bacterial culture was taken before 0.2 mg vancomycin and 0.05 mg gentamicin were injected ...

One milliliter of the bacterial suspension was dispensed into each polystyrene tissue culture plate (Himedia) on the coated side. The cultures were treated with 2,2’-Bipy derivatives (100 µg/ml) and ...

Background: Though droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has emerged as a promising tool for early pathogen detection in bloodstream infections (BSIs), more studies are needed to support its clinical ...

Safety in the clinical environment is based on structures that reduce the probability of harm, on evidence that enhances the likelihood of actions that increase ...
