vancomycin resistance การใช้

• Wegener has sequenced the gene responsible for vancomycin resistance in animal and human enterococci.
• Urinary tract infections can be treated specifically with nitrofurantoin, even in cases of vancomycin resistance.
• He says vancomycin resistance is only likely to arise where patients are given prolonged courses of the drug.
• The CDC fears that vancomycin resistance in staph germs could follow the kind of trend that has occurred before.
• This is predictive of future increases in serious infection, unless measures are taken to prevent the spread of vancomycin resistance.
• Enterococci, bugs that cause intestinal infections but are not as dangerous as staph, have been acquiring vancomycin resistance at an alarming rate.
• To become vancomycin-resistant, vancomycin-sensitive enterococci typically obtain new DNA in the form of plasmids or transposons which encode genes that confer vancomycin resistance.
• A recent survey of U . S . hospitals found that among the enterococci, a class of bacteria akin to staph, vancomycin resistance first appeared about eight years ago.
• This acquired vancomycin resistance is distinguished from the natural vancomycin resistance of certain enterococcal species including " E . gallinarum " and " E . casseliflavus ".
• This acquired vancomycin resistance is distinguished from the natural vancomycin resistance of certain enterococcal species including " E . gallinarum " and " E . casseliflavus ".
• The resistant bacteria, called enterococci, can cause illness themselves, and doctors also worry that they may pass their genes for vancomycin resistance to types of bacteria that are more dangerous.
• Ominously, vancomycin resistance among US samples of staph aureus was found in 7 to 18 percent of samples taken from various tissues, Dr . Ronald N . Jones of the University of Iowa reported.
• Many specialists fear enterococcus, which is dangerous only to patients who are already very ill, will sooner or later transfer its vancomycin resistance to a more virulent bacterium, like staphylococcus aureus, by swapping pieces of DNA with it.
