متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococcal peritonitis: outcomes of cephalosporin-resistant strains.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis and subsequent relapses are undesirable complications for patients requiring home peritoneal dialysis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) remain a common cause of peritonitis. Strains of CoNS are emerging that are resistant to cephalosporins. It has been suggested that, if sensitivity testing shows resistance to cephalosporin but the patient is improvin...
متن کاملEffects of intravitreal dexamethasone on concentration of intravitreal vancomycin in experimental methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis endophthalmitis.
Intravitreal corticosteroids in the treatment of bacterial endophthalmitis remain controversial. We utilized an experimental rabbit model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis endophthalmitis (i) to calculate the intravitreal vancomycin concentration in rabbit eyes receiving intravitreal vancomycin alone or in combination with intravitreal dexamethasone and (ii) to determine wheth...
