1.Conclusion: The resistance to drugs of L-form staphylococcus aureus has the tendency of increasing, and amikacin, albomycin fosfonomycin, rifampin and vancomycin are the more sensitive antiviotics.
3.First, they discovered they could get the same cancer-suppressing effect using just vancomycin, an antibiotic that kills only “Gram-positive” bacteria.
8.Only one type of antibiotic, vancomycin, remained effective against it, but in 1997 a hospital in Tokyo reported the appearance of a strain that could resist even that.
9.Given the changing clinical presentation and concern about hospital-acquired pneumonia, treatment with vancomycin (a 1750-mg loading dose followed by 1 g administered intravenously every 8 hours) and cefepime (administered intravenously every 8 hours) was initiated.
