The decrease in healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and savings from glycopeptide use.

We evaluated changes in the rate of healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and healthcare-associated S. aureus infections after implementation of infection control precautions and the effect of this on glycopeptide use and expenditures for glycopeptides in a private medical center in Turkey in the years 2000-2005. A striking decrease was obtained in the number of MRSA infections, and the expenditure for glycopeptide use also decreased.

Antihepatitis B response to hepatitis B vaccine administered simultaneously with tetanus toxoid in nonresponder individuals.

In this prospective study, our aim was to test the effect of simultaneous administration of preS2 and S containing recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (S2SRHB) with tetanus toxoid (TT) to the individuals who did not respond after three doses of hepatitis B vaccine previously. There were three groups (healthy individuals, pregnant women, hemodialysis patients), each was divided into two subgroups as groups A and B. Group A received S2SRHB+TT and group B received only S2SRHB. We found that in groups receiving both vaccines, both seroconversion rate and antibody titer level were significantly higher (P<0.05). In conclusion, simultaneous administration of S2SRHB+TT is more effective than administration of S2SRHB alone.
