The most advanced PDF inhibitor to emerge thus far from this collaboration is LBM-415 (12) (also called NVP PDF-713 or VIC-104959), an V-formyl-V-hydroxylamine compound still containing a proline residue at P2. The activity, PK properties, and in vivo efficacy data of (12) were presented at the 14th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) (2004) and the structure of this...

ICPs should ensure that hospitals have current telephone numbers for notification of both internal (ICPs, epidemiologists, infectious diseases specialists, administrators, and public affairs officials) and external (state and local health departments, Federal Bureau of Investigation field office, and CDC Emergency Response office) contacts and that they are distributed to the appropriate personnel.9 ICPs should work with clinical microbiology laboratories, on- or off-site, that receive specimens for testing from their facility to ensure that cultures from suspicious cases are evaluated appropriately.

Moraxella catarrhalis is also known in the literature as Branhamella catarrhalis and type strains are available from the ATCC or clinical microbiology laboratories may provide clinical isolates. It is strongly recommended that a biohazard safety hood is used when handling large quantities of the bacterium (see Note 3). 

This patient was treated empirically with vancomycin alone because his physicians suspected that he had endocarditis, caused by Streptococcus of the viridans group. The history indicated that the origin of the infection was the patient s mouth. Three days later the results from the clinical microbiology laboratory showed that three blood cultures, taken at the time of admission, grew Enterococcus faecalis. susceptible to ampicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, and streptomycin.
