    Brian D Lewis
    Department of Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
    WMJ 108:398-402. 2009
    ..We explored the needs of selected PC physicians in Wisconsin in relationship to the surgical clerkship curriculum...
  2. ncbi Comparative in vitro antimicrobial activity of a novel quinolone, garenoxacin, against aerobic and anaerobic microbial isolates recovered from general, vascular, cardiothoracic and otolaryngologic surgical patients
    Charles E Edmiston
    Division of Vascular Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, USA
    J Antimicrob Chemother 56:872-8. 2005
    ..The aim of the study was to analyse the susceptibility of unique and non-duplicate aerobic and anaerobic isolates from surgical patients to a novel des-F(6)-quinolone (garenoxacin) and other selected antimicrobial agents...
  3. ncbi Molecular epidemiology of microbial contamination in the operating room environment: Is there a risk for infection?
    Charles E Edmiston
    Department of Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA
    Surgery 138:573-9; discussion 579-82. 2005
    ..Breaks in surgical technique, host contamination, or hematogenous seeding are suggested as causal factors in these infections. This study implicates contamination of the operating room air as an additional etiology of infection...

    Charles E Edmiston
    Division of Vascular Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, 9200 West Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
    Am J Surg 192:344-54. 2006
    ..The present study investigated the activity of 6 antimicrobial agents against biofilm-forming and non-biofilm-forming strains of staphylococci adherent to the surface of selected biomedical devices...

    Charles E Edmiston
    Division of Vascular Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
    J Am Coll Surg 207:233-9. 2008
    ..In this study, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) skin concentrations were determined after preoperative showering/skin cleansing using 4% CHG soap or 2% CHG-impregnated polyester cloth...

    Joseph P Hart
    Division of Vascular Surgery, The Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
    Ann Vasc Surg 19:154-60. 2005
    ..We conclude that in certain high-risk patients who may not tolerate complete graft excision, local resection of infected graft segments may be preferable and leads to similar short- and long-term outcome...
