Gram-negative, hospital-acquired infections: a growing problem.
This issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology contains multiple articles focusing on the clinical and public health implications of infections by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii and their resistance profiles to commonly prescribed antimicrobials. The first five articles in this issue add to a g...
متن کاملCommunity-acquired pneumonia due to gram-negative bacteria and pseudomonas aeruginosa: incidence, risk, and prognosis.
BACKGROUND Initial empirical antimicrobial treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is based on expected microbial patterns. We determined the incidence of, prognosis of, and risk factors for CAP due to gram-negative bacteria (GNB), including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. METHODS Consecutive patients with CAP hospitalized in our 1000-bed tertiary care university teaching hospit...
متن کاملOutcome of infections due to pandrug-resistant (PDR) Gram-negative bacteria
BACKGROUND The increasing problem of infections due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria has led to re-use of polymyxins in several countries. However, there are already clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to all available antibiotics, including polymyxins. METHODS We present a case series of patients with infections due to pathogens resistant to all antimi...
متن کاملTherapy of Infections due to Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens
The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial pathogens (CRGNs) has increased dramatically during the last 10 years, but the optimal treatment for CRGN infections is not well established due to the relative scarcity of robust clinical data. The polymyxins remain the most consistently active agents against CRGNs in vitro. Tigecycline, based on its in vitro antibacterial spectrum...
متن کاملCommunity-acquired urinary tract infections by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Gram negative bacteria
Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens causing community acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is increasing worldwide. Severity and endemicity persists despite of wide spread availability of drugs. Knowledge of the aetiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens is important in order to determine the best empiric treatment option. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL...
