Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci. (1995)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Morrison, D., Johnson, A. P., Bateman, A. C., Hasting, J. G., Elliott, T. S., & Cookson, B. D. (1995). Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci. Microbial Drug Resistance, 1, 235-240

Enterococcus faecium, which was highly resistant to vancomycin (MIC 256 mg/liter), but susceptible to teicoplanin (MIC 2 mg/liter), caused two distinct episodes of infection on a renal unit in the United Kingdom. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFG... Read More about Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci..

Current perspectives on glycopeptide resistance. (1995)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Johnson, A. P., Morrison, D., & Speller, D. C. (1995). Current perspectives on glycopeptide resistance. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 8, 585-615

In the last 5 years, clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria with intrinsic or acquired resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics have been encountered increasingly. In many of these isolates, resistance arises from an alteration of the antibiotic t... Read More about Current perspectives on glycopeptide resistance..

Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. (1993)
Journal Article
Aguirre, M., Morrison, D., Cookson, B. D., Gay, F. W., & Collins, M. D. (1993). Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. The journal of applied bacteriology, 75, 608-612

A phylogenetic analysis was performed on two previously uncharacterized Gram-positive, catalase-negative bacteria from clinical sources. 16S rRNA sequencing studies revealed the isolates represent a new line of descent within the lactic acid group of...

Comparison of high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) Enterococcus faecium isolates from different continents. (1993)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Morrison, D., Cookson, B. D., & George, R. C. (1993). Comparison of high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) Enterococcus faecium isolates from different continents. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 37, 681-684

Eight clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium highly resistant to gentamicin (MIC, > 1,000 mg/liter) from patients in six hospitals on three continents were investigated for evidence of spread of either a clone of high-level gentamicin-resistant (H...

Application of DNA probes for rRNA and vanA genes to investigation of a nosocomial cluster of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. (1993)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Morrison, D., Johnson, A. P., Briant, V., Cookson, B. D., & George, R. C. (1993). Application of DNA probes for rRNA and vanA genes to investigation of a nosocomial cluster of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 31, 653-658

DNA probes specific for genes encoding rRNA and the glycopeptide resistance gene vanA were used to investigate a cluster of vancomycin-resistant (MICs, > 512 mg/liter) Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from separate patients in...

Stomatococcus mucilaginosus: an emerging pathogen in neutropenic patients. (1992)
Journal Article
McWhinney, P. H. M., Kibbler, C. C., Gillespie, S. H., Patel, S., Morrison, D., Hoffbrand, A. V., & Prentice, H. G. (1992). Stomatococcus mucilaginosus: an emerging pathogen in neutropenic patients. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 14, 641-646

Stomatococcus mucilaginosus was isolated from eight neutropenic patients during nine febrile episodes over a 13-month period. Five of these isolates were from definite infections, including one case of fatal meningitis. This slime-producing, catalase...

High-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci causing hospital infections (1989)
Journal Article
Uttley, A. H. C., George, R. C., Naidoo, J., Woodford, N., Johnson, A. P., Collins, C. H., Morrison, D., Gilfillan, A., Fitch, L. E., & Heptonstall, J. (1989). High-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci causing hospital infections. Epidemiology and Infection, 103(01), 173-181. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268800030478

Nosocomial infection or colonization due to enterococci with high-level
resistance to vancomycin (minimal inhibitory concentrations [MICs] between 64
and > 2000 mg/L) has occurred in 41 patients with renal disease. These
vancomycin-resistant enter... Read More about High-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci causing hospital infections.
