Role of extra-cellular fatty acids in vancomycin induced biofilm formation by vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Pak. J. Pharm. Sci. 26(2) , 383-9, (2013)

In the present study a vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (VRSA) (Labeled as CP2) was isolated from the blood of a post-operative cardiac patient is described. It harbors a plasmid which carry vanA gene and exhibited low-level vancomycin r...

A screen of approved drugs and molecular probes identifies therapeutics with anti-Ebola virus activity.

Sci. Transl. Med. 7 , 290ra89, (2015)

Currently, no approved therapeutics exist to treat or prevent infections induced by Ebola viruses, and recent events have demonstrated an urgent need for rapid discovery of new treatments. Repurposing approved drugs for emerging infections remains a critical ...

Once-weekly dalbavancin versus daily conventional therapy for skin infection.

N. Engl. J. Med. 370(23) , 2169-79, (2014)

Dalbavancin, a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic agent that is active against gram-positive pathogens, has a long plasma half-life, allowing for once-weekly dosing. DISCOVER 1 and DISCOVER 2 were identically designed noninferiority trials of dalbavancin for the tre...

Pharmacology and the treatment of complicated skin and skin-structure infections.

N. Engl. J. Med. 370(23) , 2238-9, (2014)

Skin and skin-structure infections are estimated to cause more than 15 million infections1 and 870,000 hospital admissions2 annually in the United States. Rates of these infections are substantially higher than they were 10 to 20 years ago, owing in part to t...

Synthesis of isoindole and benzoisoindole derivatives of teicoplanin pseudoaglycon with remarkable antibacterial and antiviral activities.
