Article Synopsis
- - The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released new guidelines that combine recommendations for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and aortic diseases into one document for the first time.
- - These guidelines promote a holistic view of the arterial vascular system, emphasizing the importance of considering the entire circulatory system for patients dealing with vascular diseases.
- - The focus is on a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach, particularly highlighting exercise training, management of chronic wounds, and the importance of risk assessment for aortic hereditary diseases.
Background: The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains resistant to non-beta-lactam antimicrobials poses a significant challenge in treating severe MRSA bloodstream infections. This study explores resistance development and mechanisms in MRSA isolates, especially after the first dalbavancin-resistant MRSA strain in our hospital in 2016.
Methods: This study investigated 55 MRSA bloodstream isolates (02/2015-02/2021) from the University Hospital of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
Invasive infections are associated with a high burden of disease, case fatality rate and healthcare costs. Oxazolidinones such as linezolid and tedizolid are considered potential treatment choices for conditions involving methicillin resistance or penicillin allergies. Additionally, they are being investigated as potential inhibitors of toxins in toxin-mediated diseases.
