Disease relevance of Bites, Human

Comparative in vitro activities of ABT-773 against aerobic and anaerobic pathogens isolated from skin and soft-tissue animal and human bite wound infections [1].
Investigation of a human T-lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) infection in a female Australian blood donor identified a human bite as the likely mode of transmission, confirmed by nucleotide sequencing of the proviral tax/rex from both donor and contact [2].
State distributions for MS were compared with those for the proportion of admissions for canine distemper (CD), the ratio of CD cases to the human population, and human bites by dogs per unit of population [3].

High impact information on Bites, Human

In vitro activities of the des-fluoro(6) Quinolone BMS-284756 against aerobic and anaerobic pathogens isolated from skin and soft tissue animal and human bite wound infections [4].
Comparative in vitro activities of GAR-936 against aerobic and anaerobic animal and human bite wound pathogens [5].
Ertapenem showed excellent potency against the full range of animal and human bite wound pathogens [6].
A prospective, randomized study was undertaken to determine if mechanical care of early human bites alone is sufficient therapy in the compliant patient or if prophylactic antibiotics (oral versus parenteral) are indicated [7].
Use of benzidine for histological demonstration of haemoglobin in human bite marks [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Bites, Human

Penicillin is an effective first-line antibiotic for animal bites, while a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, a cephalosporin, or erythromycin should be used for human bites [9].
The Center for Disease Control had carried out a 2-year surveillance program for human bites by animals [3].
Because of its broad-spectrum coverage, which includes both aerobes and anaerobes, cefamandole is useful in treating infections, especially those resulting from human bites [10].
Primary repair of a flexor tendon after a human bite [11].
Such an outcome may occur, for example, when a human bite wound is treated with clindamycin or metronidazole [12].
