We characterized all of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected between 2005 and 2008 in the Bilbao, Spain, area. For the first time, the USA300 clone is reported as predominant among PVL-positive clones in a European autochthonous population, requiring active monitoring of the incidence of USA300 in Spain and throughout Europe.

DRESS Mimicking Flushing Syndrome Associated with Vancomycin: A Case Report.
Curr Drug Saf
January 2025
Department of General Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, India.
Background: The Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a serious adverse reaction that occurs weeks after the onset of drug exposure. DRESS syndrome is commonly associated with antiseizure drugs, sulfa drugs, and antibiotics.
Case Presentation: This was a case report of a 20-year-old female who suffered from DRESS due to vancomycin with symptoms similar to the Redman syndrome.

Ann Pharmacother
January 2025
College of Pharmacy, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA.
Background: Among people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), methicillin-resistant (MRSA)-associated acute pulmonary exacerbations (APEs) have been increasing in prevalence and can cause rapid declines in lung function and increased mortality. Fortunately, since 2019, incidence has started to decline.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if doxycycline has comparable efficacy to vancomycin for the treatment of APEs in PwCF.

Monitoring wound infection and providing appropriate treatment are crucial for achieving favorable outcomes. However, the time-consuming nature of laboratory culture tests may delay timely intervention. To tackle this challenge, a simple yet effective HDG hydrogel, composed of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), dopamine, and GelMA polymer, is developed for the ultrafast detection and treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infections.
