Early cytokine signatures and clinical phenotypes discriminate persistent from resolving MRSA bacteremia.
Journal Article BMC Infect Dis · February 18, 2025 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is a prevalent life-threatening infection often caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Up to 30% of SAB patients fail to clear infection even with gold-standard anti-MRSA antibiotics. This pheno ...

Journal Article Microorganisms · November 2, 2024 Untreated infective endocarditis (IE) is uniformly fatal. The practice of combination antibiotic therapy for IE is recommended by treatment guidelines but largely unsupported by high-quality evidence. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of combination ...

Journal Article J Antimicrob Chemother · September 3, 2024 OBJECTIVES: Escherichia coli can cause infections in the urinary tract and in normally sterile body sites leading to invasive E. coli disease (IED), including bacteraemia and sepsis, with older populations at increased risk. We aimed to estimate the theore ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
