In vivo activity of anprocide alone, and in vitro activity in combination with conventional antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms.

The alarming spread of multiple drug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, combined with the frequent occurrence of S. aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in biofilm-type infections, indicates a growing need for new therapies. The experimental steroidal amide anprocide [3beta-acetoxy-17beta-(l-prolyl)amino-5alpha-androstane] significantly reduced c.

Genetic diversity among clinical Coccidioides spp. isolates in Arizona.

Increasing coccidioidomycosis rates in Arizona may indicate the development of a hypervirulent strain. One hundred and twenty-one clinical Coccidioides spp. isolates were collected over 16 months from Maricopa, Graham, Yuma, and Pima counties in Arizona.

Antibacterial activity of the marine sponge constituent cribrostatin 6.

The antibacterial activity of the nitrogen heterocyclic sponge constituent cribrostatin 6 was examined. Cribrostatin 6 was bacteriostatic for a variety of Gram-positive species and was bactericidal for the majority of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, including penicillin-resistant strains. Minimum bactericidal concentration/MIC ratios were < or =2 for 75 % of S.
