The Susceptibility Evaluation of Multiresistant Gram-Negative Bacilli to Meropenem and Imipenem
Introduction: Nosocomial infections are responsible for the much of the morbidity and mortality found in hospitals. The present study was conducted on 70 bacterial strains isolated from hospitalized patients in various medical units of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran, Iran during a period of 12 months from; March to February 2009. Methods: The bacterial s...
متن کاملComplicated urinary tract infections: practical solutions for the treatment of multiresistant Gram-negative bacteria.
Resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has been increasing, particularly over the last 6 years. This is mainly due to the spread of strains producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) such as CTX-M enzymes or AmpC β-lactamases. Many of the isolates producing these enzymes are also resistant to trimethoprim, quinolones and aminoglycosides, often due to plasmid co-expression of other resistanc...
متن کاملInfections Caused by Antimicrobial Drug-Resistant Saprophytic Gram-Negative Bacteria in the Environment
Background Drug-resistance genes found in human bacterial pathogens are increasingly recognized in saprophytic Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) from environmental sources. The clinical implication of such environmental GNBs is unknown. Objectives We conducted a systematic review to determine how often such saprophytic GNBs cause human infections. Methods We queried PubMed for articles published...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of teicoplanin for therapy of severe infections caused by gram-positive bacteria.
Teicoplanin was evaluated in 47 patients with severe infections, including 14 patients with bone infections, 11 patients with soft-tissue infections, 7 patients with endocarditis, 5 patients with pneumonia, 3 patients with septic thrombophlebitis, 3 patients with septicemia of unknown origin, and 4 patients with miscellaneous infections. Overall, bacteremia was documented in 24 patients. The pa...
متن کاملManagement of infections caused by vancomycin-resistant gram-positive bacteria.
For 3 decades, vancomycin has been a favored therapy for serious penicillinand cephalosporin-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. Development of vancomycin resistance may have been restrained by the requirement for intravenous administration, which limited its use and lessened exposure to the gastrointestinal flora. Nevertheless, physicians are increasingly encountering children and ad...
