  2. Vancomycin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin

    Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic medication used to treat certain bacterial infections. [7] It is administered intravenously (injection into a vein) to treat complicated skin infections, bloodstream infections, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and meningitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [8]

  3. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin-resistant_Enter...

    Vancomycin. Six different types of vancomycin resistance are shown by enterococcus: Van-A, Van-B, Van-C, Van-D, Van-E and Van-G. [4] The significance is that Van-A VRE is resistant to both vancomycin and teicoplanin, [5] Van-B VRE is resistant to vancomycin but susceptible to teicoplanin, [6] [7] and Van-C is only partly resistant to vancomycin.

  4. β-Lactam antibiotic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Lactam_antibiotic

    β-Lactam antibiotics are indicated for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. At first, β-lactam antibiotics were mainly active only against gram-positive bacteria, yet the recent development of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics active against various gram-negative organisms has increased their usefulness.

  5. Glycopeptide antibiotic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycopeptide_antibiotic

    Glycopeptide antibiotics are a class of drugs of microbial origin that are composed of glycosylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptides.Significant glycopeptide antibiotics include the anti-infective antibiotics vancomycin, teicoplanin, telavancin, ramoplanin, avoparcin and decaplanin, corbomycin, complestatin and the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin.

  6. Cephalosporin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalosporin

    Ceftaroline has also been described as "fifth-generation" cephalosporin, but does not have the activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa or vancomycin-resistant enterococci that ceftobiprole has. [36] Ceftolozane is an option for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections and complicated urinary tract infections.

  7. Drug of last resort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_of_last_resort

    There are also strains of enterococci that have developed resistance to vancomycin referred to as vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE). Agents classified as fourth-line (or greater) treatments or experimental therapies could be considered by default to be drugs of last resort due to their low placement in the treatment hierarchy.

  8. Chorioamnionitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorioamnionitis

    Vancomycin + gentamicin; Gentamicin + clindamycin; However, there is not enough evidence to support the most efficient antimicrobial regimen. [16] Starting the treatment during the intrapartum period is more effective than starting it postpartum; it shortens the hospital stay for the mother and the neonate. [17]

  9. Bloodstream infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodstream_infection

    Bacteremia is typically transient and is quickly removed from the blood by the immune system. [5]Bacteremia frequently evokes a response from the immune system called sepsis, which consists of symptoms such as fever, chills, and hypotension. [8]
