Current Epidemiology and Growing Resistance of Gram-Negative Pathogens
In the 1980s, gram-negative pathogens appeared to have been beaten by oxyimino-cephalosporins, carbapenems, and fluoroquinolones. Yet these pathogens have fought back, aided by their membrane organization, which promotes the exclusion and efflux of antibiotics, and by a remarkable propensity to recruit, transfer, and modify the expression of resistance genes, including those for extended-spectr...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance among and therapeutic options against gram-negative pathogens.
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens are a common cause of infection, and the prevalence and rates of resistance among these pathogens to existing antimicrobial agents are increasing. beta-Lactamase-mediated resistance is of particular concern. High-level resistance attributable to beta-lactamase expression alone or in combination with other mechanisms is becoming increasingly prevalent among Ente...

متن کاملIncreased resistance of gram-negative urinary pathogens after kidney transplantation
BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection is the most common complication after kidney transplantation. It can cause severe sepsis and transplant loss. Emergence of drug resistance among gram-negative urinary pathogens is the current challenge for urinary tract infection treatment after kidney transplantation. METHODS This study analyzes the antimicrobial susceptibility of gram-negative urinary path...
متن کاملFluoroquinolones Protective against Cephalosporin Resistance in Gram-negative Nosocomial Pathogens
In a matched case-control study, we studied the effect of prior receipt of fluoroquinolones on isolation of three third-generation cephalosporin-resistant gram-negative nosocomial pathogens. Two hundred eighty-two cases with a third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogen (203 with Enterobacter spp., 50 with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 29 with Klebsiella pneumoniae) were matched on length o...
