  • Methods and reagents for preventing bacteremias
    Publication number: 20040147441
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions useful for preventing bacteremia by decolonizing the intestinal tract of a patient. Although the present invention is useful for preventing bacteremia by any Gram-positive bacteria, it is particularly useful against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), glycopeptide intermediary susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (GISA), and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP). Decolonization therapy using the methods and compositions of this invention are also useful for preventing a Gram-negative bacteremia.
