• Epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. (2008, background): “2 years old [46] Athletes (mainly participants in contact sports) [47, 48] Injection drug users [48] Men who have sex with men [47, 48] Military personnel [48] Persons living in correctional facilities, residential homes, or shelters [47, 48] Veterinarians, pet owners, and pig farmers [49, 50] Adult”
• Antimicrobial Polymers in Solution and on Surfaces: Overview and Functional Principles (2012, background): “the majority of nosocomial infections and notably causes more deaths in the USA than HIV [13].”
• Identification and treatment of the Staphylococcus aureus reservoir in vivo (2016, positive): “This is compounded by the lack of a staphylococcal vaccine (Fowler and Proctor, 2014) and the emergence of the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, making vancomycin one of the few remaining useful antibiotics (Klevens et al., 2006, 2007).”
• Functional Gold Nanoparticles as Potent Antimicrobial Agents against Multi-Drug-Resistant Bacteria (2014, background): “Particularly, MRSA has emerged as “superbug”, resistant to most antibiotics commonly used for the staph infections.(30) NP 3 was effective in treating each of these pathogens, with MICs of 8 64 nM.”
• Diagnosis and Management of Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection in Adults and Children: Guidelines by the Surgical Infection Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2010, neutral): “Health care–associated infection is a relatively new term that includes a spectrum of adult patients who have close association with acute care hospitals or reside in chronic care settings [98].”
• Silver Nanoparticles as Potential Antibacterial Agents (2015, background): “Antimicrobial resistance is, thus, one of the major threats to human health [1], since it determines an increase of morbidity and mortality as a consequence of the most common bacterial diseases [2].”
• Antibiotics and Bacterial Resistance in the 21st Century (2014, background): “Quinolones Balafloxacin, gemifloxacin, pazufloxacin, prulifloxacin Avarofloxacin (65), delafloxacin (63), finafloxacin (66), JNJ-Q2, levonadifloxacin, nemonoxacin (64)”
