Researchers Report Emergence Of Antibiotic Resistance During Vancomycin Therapy

mycin-resistant staphylococci," says Tomasz.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem. In a study published in the July 1998 issue of the the Journal of Infectious Diseases, the Rockefeller group in collaboration with colleagues at the Public Health Research Institute used molecular fingerprinting techniques to demonstrate the extensive hospital-to-hospital transfer of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcal strains in 12 hospitals in the New York metropolitan area.

Tomasz and Roberts's co-authors are first author Krzysztof Sieradzki, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller, and Stuart W. Haber, M.D., of United Hospital Medical Center in Port Chester, N.Y.

The research described in the NEJM paper was supported in part by the Bodman/Achelis Fund, the Cary L. Guy Foundation and the Glickenhaus Foundation.

Rockefeller began in 1901 as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the first U.S. biomedical research center. Rockefeller faculty members have made significant achievements, including the discovery that DNA is the carrier of genetic information and the launching of the scientific field of modern cell biology. The university has ties to 19 Nobel laureates. Thirty-three faculty members are elected members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, including the president, Arnold J. Levine, Ph.D.
