A patient in a Tokyo Hospital developed a vancomycin resistant staph infection.

东京一家医院的一名患者出现了万古霉素耐药葡萄球菌感染。

Not just yet. Let's try vancomycin. It worked for her before.

先别打扰他。再试试万古霉素。以前对她有效。

First, they discovered they could get the same cancer-suppressing effect using just vancomycin, an antibiotic that kills only “Gram-positive” bacteria.

首先，他们发现，用专杀“革兰氏阳性”细菌的抗生素万古霉素进行实验，也能取得相同的抑癌效果。

And so a vancomycin resistance moved into these strains, we could have untreatable strains of a very common resistant organism.

因此，万古霉素的耐药性转移到这些菌株中，我们就有了一种很常见的耐药菌的不可治疗菌株。

Let's try vancomycin. It worked for her before.

再试试万古霉素 以前对她有效。

We found vancomycin in a puddle of mud in a jungle in Borneo in 1953.

1953 年， 我们在婆罗洲丛林中的一滩泥浆中发现了万古霉素。

Let's give him acetaminophen, add a 500 of vancomycin and, uh, blood and urine cultures also.

给他注射醋氨酚 加上500单位的万古霉素，再做一下 血尿培养。

Only one type of antibiotic, vancomycin, remained effective against it, but in 1997 a hospital in Tokyo reported the appearance of a strain that could resist even that.

万古霉素，用来对付它还有效果。但1997年东京有一家医院报告说，葡萄球菌出现了一个新品种，对那种药也有抗药性。

Given the changing clinical presentation and concern about hospital-acquired pneumonia, treatment with vancomycin (a 1750-mg loading dose followed by 1 g administered intravenously every 8 hours) and cefepime (administered intravenously every 8 hours) was initiated.

鉴于不断变化的临床表现和对医院获得性肺炎的担忧， 开始使用万古霉素（1750 mg 负荷剂量， 随后每 8 小时静脉注射 1 g）和头孢吡肟（每 8 小时静脉注射）进行治疗。
