In vitro activity of gallium maltolate against Staphylococci in logarithmic, stationary, and biofilm growth phases: comparison of conventional and calorimetric susceptibility testing methods.
Ga(3+) is a semimetal element that competes for the iron-binding sites of transporters and enzymes. We investigated the activity of gallium maltolate (GaM), an organic gallium salt with high solubility, against laboratory and clinical strains of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus epidermidis (MSSE)...
متن کاملEfficacy of oral hygiene products against MRSA and MSSA isolates.
Sir, Clinical experience has shown that oropharyngeal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be difficult to eradicate.1 Oral carriage of MRSA may serve as a reservoir for colonization of other body sites, or cross-infection to other patients or healthcare workers.2 Eradication of throat carriage of MRSA has been achieved using topical chlorhexidine (0.2%), in additi...
متن کاملInfection in total joint replacements. Why we screen MRSA when MRSE is the problem?
A retrospective review of MRSA screening showed that of a total of 8911 patients screened pre-operatively between May 1996 and February 2001, 83 (0.9%) had MRSA isolated from one source or another. During the same period, 115 (13.6%) of 844 positive tissue samples taken during surgery grew Staphylococcus aureus. Of these only 1 (0.01%) was reported to be methicillin-resistant (MRSA). However, a...
متن کاملHalogenated quinolines discovered through reductive amination with potent eradication activities against MRSA, MRSE and VRE biofilms.
Small molecules capable of eradicating non-replicating bacterial biofilms are of great importance to human health as conventional antibiotics are ineffective against these surface-attached bacterial communities. Here, we report the discovery of several halogenated quinolines (HQs) identified through a reductive amination reaction that demonstrated potent eradication of MRSA (HQ-6; MBEC = 125 μM...
متن کاملMarinopyrrole Derivatives as Potential Antibiotic Agents against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (II)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a major problem, causing severe and intractable infections worldwide. MRSA is resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics, and alternative treatments are limited. A very limited number of new antibiotics have been discovered over the last half-century, novel agents for the treatment of MRSA infections are urgently needed. Marinopyr...
