It is unclear that infections with Gram-negative rods resistant to at least one major class of antibiotics (rGNR) have a greater effect on patient morbidity than infections caused by sensitive strains (sGNR). We wished to test the hypothesis that rGN

Because of the increasing development of antimicrobial resistance, there is a greater responsibility within the medical community to limit the exposure of patients to antibiotics. We tested the hypothesis that shorter courses of antibiotics are assoc

Background In studying potential immunotherapeutics for sepsis, we used a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated whole blood model to test the immunomodulating capacity of cytosine-phospho-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs). We hypothesized that C

The burden of infection with antibiotic-resistant gram-positive cocci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), continues to increase, leading to substantial morbidity and high mortalit
