Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in children with cancer.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: New strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which frequently carry the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes have been recognized to cause invasive infections in otherwise healthy children and adults. However, the ... Read more...

Rates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia colonization and infection in relation to antibiotic cycling protocols.

29 Nov 2009 This study evaluated whether antibiotic cycling programmes using broad-spectrum agents including carbapenems were associated with increased rates of colonization or infection by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Retrospective analyses of colonization or ... Read more...

The ATP-dependent amide ligases DdaG and DdaF assemble the fumaramoyl-dipeptide scaffold of the dapdiamide antibiotics.

Nov 2009 The enzymes DdaG and DdaF, encoded in the Pantoea agglomerans dapdiamide antibiotic biosynthetic gene cluster, when expressed in Escherichia coli, form the tandem amide bonds of the dapdiamide scaffold at the expense of ATP cleavage. DdaG uses ... Read more...
