Resistance Elasticity of Antibiotic Demand in Intensive Care.
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is still an unresolved problem worldwide. In intensive care units (ICUs), first-line antibiotic therapy is highly standardized and widely empiric while treatment failure because of AMR often has severe consequences. Simultaneously, there is a limited number of reserve antibiotics, whose prices and/or side effects are substantially highe...
متن کاملControlling antibiotic resistance in intensive care units
Colonisation with multidrug resistant bacteria, especially resistant Gram-negatives, occurs frequently and increasingly in intensive care units (ICUs), also in the Netherlands. Infections caused by (resistant) microorganisms increase morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable patient group. This necessitates more effective control measures. Current infection control strategies include hand hygi...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in the intensive care unit.
Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as an important determinant of outcome for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is largely due to the administration of inadequate antimicrobial treatment, which is most often related to bacterial antibiotic resistance. In addition, the escalating problem of antimicrobial resistance has substantially increased overall health care costs. This incre...
متن کاملManagement of antibiotic resistance in the intensive care unit setting.
Over the past few decades, an alarming increase of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter spp., has been observed, partic...
متن کاملAntibiotic utilization and Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance in intensive care units.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequent and dangerous pathogens involved in the etiology of severe nosocomial infections. A retrospective observational study was conducted at all intensive care units of the University Hospital in Olomouc, Czech Republic (155 ICU beds). Complete antibiotic utilization data of the ICUs in the period of 1999 to 2008 were processed according to ATC/DDD s...
