Central venous catheter-related bacteremia caused by Kocuria kristinae: case report and review of the literatureRyan Dunn
Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 10:31. 2011..A case of catheter-related bacteremia with pulmonary septic emboli in a pregnant adult female without chronic medical conditions is described. A review of other reported Kocuria infections is provided...
Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus as a predominantly healthcare-associated pathogen: a possible reversal of roles?Michael Z David
Department of Pediatrics, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e18217. 2011..We hypothesized that, as MRSA infections became more common among S. aureus infections in the community, perhaps MSSA infections had become more important as a cause of healthcare-associated infection...

Contrasting pediatric and adult methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolatesMichael Z David
University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Emerg Infect Dis 12:631-7. 2006..In our region, clindamycin is an appropriate empiric therapy of community-associated MRSA infection in children but should be used with caution in adults...
Molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, rural southwestern AlaskaMichael Z David
Department of Pediatrics, University of Chicago, 5841 S Maryland Ave, MC 6054, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Emerg Infect Dis 14:1693-9. 2008..1% were ST8. Among 120 prospective isolates, 57.5% were clindamycin resistant. CA-MRSA epidemiology in southwestern Alaska differs from that in the lower 48 states; ST8 strains were rarely identified and clindamycin resistance was common...
Predominance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among pathogens causing skin and soft tissue infections in a large urban jail: risk factors and recurrence ratesMichael Z David
