Control of MRSA infection and colonisation in an intensive care unit by GeneOhm MRSA assay and culture methodsClaudia Dalla Valle
Laboratorio di Batteriologia e Micologia, Area Infettivologica, Fondazione IRCCS S, Matteo, Pavia, Italia
BMC Infect Dis 9:137. 2009..Approximately 25% to 30% of the population is colonised with S. aureus and 0.2% to 7% with MRSA. The BD GeneOhm MRSA real-time PCR assay offers quicker identification of MRSA-colonised patients than do culture methods...
In vitro activity of sagamicin against ocular bacterial isolatesPiero Marone
Laboratorio di Batteriologia e Micologia, Area Infettivologica, IRCCS S Matteo, Pavia, Italia
Ophthalmologica 216:133-8. 2002..The attachment of 2 S. epidermidis strains to plastic surfaces was partially prevented by sagamicin subinhibitory concentrations. On the contrary, sub-MIC levels of norfloxacin increased the adhesion of S. epidermidis...
Bactericidal activity of Pistacia lentiscus mastic gum against Helicobacter pyloriP Marone
Laboratorio di Batteriologia e Micologia Area Infettivologica, IRCCS S Matteo, Pavia, Italy
J Chemother 13:611-4. 2001..The influence of sub-MBCs of mastic gum on the morphologies of H. pylori was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. The lentiscus resin induced blebbing, morphological abnormalities and cellular fragmentation in H. pylori cells...

Catheter-related bacteremia due to Lactobacillus rhamnosus in a single-lung transplant recipientE Carretto
Laboratorio di Batteriologia e Micologia, Laboratori Sperimentali di Ricerca, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, Italy
Scand J Infect Dis 33:780-2. 2001..and some reports emphasize that these microorganisms are never isolated from endovascular devices. In this report we present a case of catheter-related bacteremia due to L. rhamnosus in a patient who underwent a single-lung transplant...
Rapid drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium avium complex using a fluorescence quenching methodP Marone
Laboratory of Bacteriology and Mycology, IRCCS Policlinico S Matteo, Pavia, Italy
J Chemother 9:247-50. 1997..This rapid method is non-radiometric, noninvasive and does not require any special instruments...
Activity of daptomycin against enterococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS): relationship between CNS susceptibility and slime productionP Marone
Dip di Farmacologia, IRCCS S Matteo, , Italy
J Chemother 5:151-4. 1993..Resistance to the antimicrobial agents tested was seen with increased frequency among slime producing strains. Daptomycin and teicoplanin were the most active agents tested against E. faecalis (MIC90 0.25 mg/L and 0.12 mg/L)...
Comparative in vitro activity of silver sulfadiazine, alone and in combination with cerium nitrate, against staphylococci and gram-negative bacteriaP Marone
Bacteriology and Mycology Laboratory, Infectivology Section, IRCCS Policlinico S Matteo, Pavia, Italy
J Chemother 10:17-21. 1998..Our data confirm the efficacy of this topical agent in the prevention and treatment of infections in burns or other surgical wounds and suggest its possible use in clearing staphylococcal carriage as an alternative to mupirocin...
