Article Synopsis
- Global biodiversity is declining, prompting businesses and society to urgently adopt new operating models, particularly the "nature positive" concept.
- Successful implementation hinges on collaboration between ecologists and businesspeople, emphasizing a shared understanding of key terms, concepts, and associated risks.
- Key aspects to consider include ecological definitions (health, abundance, diversity, resilience), financial tools for nature positive initiatives, and understanding risks, highlighting that while the concept may seem simple, managing biodiversity complexities is crucial and worthwhile.
Objectives: Vancomycin remains a first-line treatment for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-mediated acute pulmonary exacerbations (APEs) in adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients; however, optimal alternatives remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of ceftaroline for MRSA-mediated APEs of CF in adults.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study comparing ceftaroline with vancomycin for the treatment of MRSA-mediated APEs in adult CF patients.
